-472 Sorry, you're not cool for liking pokemon. Pokemon is overrated bull shit. It's all about the classic Nintendo games like Zelda and Mario, amirite?

Pokemon is genius and it's popular for a reason.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Okay so before I get on about how pokemon is the same exact thing every single generation, could you tell me why its popular?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah, Pokemon is the 'same thing' every generation. Just like Zelda is the 'same thing' in every game until 3D. Your general purpose and basic fighting style, items, and puzzles are the same. But there is an evolution, there are additions and changes to the way it's played that make it interesting generation to generation. 1st was great so says everyone, 2nd was great because it was an expansion on the first one, but it only added a few things. The 3rd got the most backlash BECAUSE it was too DIFFERENT. (Hypocrites?) They rehauled the core stats, the way moves worked, added things like contests and berries and RUNNING. (Thank God.) The 4th expanded on these things brought in by the 3rd generation and brought SO MUCH connectivity in WiFi. If you're friends didn't play pokemon, okay! Go on the internet, you will find people. Aaand I've apparently hit the post limit. brb.

WHY Pokemon is popular? Like wobbuffet said, it's the journey. Your character is vague and you have so many pokemon choices to be on your team that you can fill in a lot of things with your imagination. You have the story to finish, but it's not painstaking horrible to finish, nor super easy. You get a choice of what you want to do with your little friends and which ones you like best and really what ever you wish. You can pick it up and play for a few minutes or play for a long time. It's FUN and CHILDISH. (*GASP* We can ENJOY kid games?!?!) Or if you're a dry "serious" gamer; using that term lightly, you can completely master the game and catch ever single monster, breed until you get perfect IVs (which usually requires inbreeding), train with EV's, and go compare dick sizes in many many many different types of battles.

Zelda is the greatest game series in existance

by Anonymous 13 years ago

no, Metroid is.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I think I have to agree with you on that.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You can't really compare it to old school Nintendo like Super Mario and The Legend Of Zelda. They are both two different things. Zelda is all about adventure and puzzles, and Mario is about avoiding head on obstacles until you reach the end. I don't know much about Pokemon to explain much about it but I know those things are different. If anyone else understands what I'm saying and knows more about Pokemon, feel free to elaborate for me.

Pokemon has the same concept as Zelda then. There are many puzzles in Pokemon and it is about adventure also. I guess maybe not Mario, but what I'm saying is that the classic Nintendo games are way better than Pokemon.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Aaaand just because some games are better than another means the not-as-good games are bullshit? Mario Kart is pretty fun game, but that means I can't just enjoy a friendly game of Diddy Kong Racing? It's bullshit because it's by the same company and is same type of game but it's not as good as other games, amirite? That's what your logic is saying. So you don't like Pokemon and you like Zelda better. 'K. You don't have to hate on everyone else just because it's not the "best" game Nintendo came out with. Nevermind they all have differently production companies, w/e.

Pokemon is actually so idiotic. Like seriously, it's so childish.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

And why is a game aimed at children being childish so idiotic? Not everyone is a 13-25 year old male that wants blood and gore in their games and will act like they'll get cooties if they play a childish game.

I agree about the old school zelda and mario. They rock, but Im so not bashing pokemon over them.

Pokemon would be considered "classic" to quite a few I think. I don't know the whole history about it or anything like that but it had to have been out even earlier in Japan.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Only by about a year, but I still consider it a great series.

There are some classic Nintendo Pokemon games. I played Puzzle League all the time on my N64. Still do. Mario and Zelda are awesome, but so is Pokemon.

they are all awesome games

Pokemon is a classic nintendo game. It is, it's a fact. Everyone liked it when it came out and helps to make nintendo what it is now. It's the newer generation that's up for debate. Just because YOU don't like it doesn't mean that we're trying to "be cool" by still liking it, we ACTUALLY just still enjoy it. :/ You're the ones that bash it for the simple reason you aren't into any more or... "Oh no! It's a childish game that I enjoyed in my youth, I'VE GOT TO BASH IT OR THEY'LL THINK I'M GAY! NOOOOOO!!!!"

...I have loved pokemon for over 10 years and here you come in saying "oh you think you're soo cool for liking pokemon" no, actually I don't. Actually, I just don't give a shit about what anyone else thinks. I shall continue playing as long as I want. How can you even bash pokemon? I don't think it's even possible. Oh, and by the way, I have loved all four generations. Third and fourth were not bad! I loved them!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I applaud you, Pokemon was and is still amazing and I have always loved it. Although, as with everything, the original was the best. The rest are additions, maybe not quite as good but still great.

xD Totally. It makes me mad that all of a sudden it's cool. Kind of like Harry Potter. People used to think that if you wished you were a wizard at Hogwarts you were an obsessive freak. Now that Twilight is out, you're cool for being a huge HP fan... >.<

by Anonymous 13 years ago

So you know, I am a girl, and I do love Pokemon, but I don't think I'm cool just for liking it. I bet you're a boy and you think you're cool because you don't like it. NEWSFLASH: bashing on Pokemon won't help increase your insubstantial coolness factor and generalizing won't get you any friends.

Super Mario, the original one (and SMB3, gotta agree that one was bomb) are in my top 10 favorite games of all time, the other slots are filled by Pokemon and Spyro. Rock on.
