_whistler_ · #81I couldn't really care less, it's just that it's pretty much a fad for most people and it gets really annoying when it's brought up hundereds of times. And I got over the whole 'gotta-catch-them-all' thing cause eventually it get's boring with each new pokemon game pretty much being a duplicate of the last with everything starting to look like clones of the originals.As I said earlier in the thread, you're just seeing Pokemon from the outside and its old days. Yes, it's aim is "To Catch'em All".....But there clearly is more to it. I seriously am not going to type out 3 paragraphs again to someone that probably won't care anyway, so read what I said earlier:
RaysieThis thread shows that many people still don't know what Pokemon is all about. All people do is stereotype the game and think it's a long term fad that just got lucky and is ripping us all off. That is FAR from the truth.Pokemon (If played correctly) is one of the best made RPG's of all time, it's mechanics are brilliant and it has so many features that the normal Pokemon gamer would never even know about.Only recently, I started getting more competitive in Pokemon battles. I have been playing Pokemon since the dawn of Pokemon time, but I was seriously shocked at how complex and brilliant Pokemon actually is. There are a whole range of natures, calculations and personalities that honestly make no 2 same Pokemon the same.I know that as long as Pokemon exists, people are going to see it as the kiddy aimed game that will never make sense...But let me tell everyone this, a normal kid playing the game will NEVER be able to compete against a real Pokemon gamer that actually puts the effort into EV's, IV's, Strategy, Move sets etc.

sexywogboy · #86You wouldn't understand because you don't actually know anything about the game. Well just to let you know, I'm 18 years old and I still get more joy from playing Pokemon then I do from playing a game like GTA.It actually has nothing to do with who the game is based to. The fact is it's a surprisingly complex RPG Videogame that has continued to fight critics like yourself to become the second highest selling gaming franchise of all time (Only behind Mario games), so you must not see what millions of others do.I guess i kind of understand what you are trying to say but not really.What do you mean?
