well, now I don't bother with starters, considering around the time I got Ruby I thought to myself, Hey, how's about I trade with friends so we all get 1 of each starter, which is why my current team is the 3 starters, Espeon, Ampharos and Dragonite and the White team will be the 3 starters, Kibago and his evolutions, that one bug-electric creature that half the users have some weird fetish for and whatever I find that can fit the other spot perfectly(preferably something that isn't part flying but can still larn Fly)mekashiyu said:
Game Freak: Pokemon Isn't Just for Kids
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
I more or less gave up on wasting my breath trying to convince others it's not just for kids and as a basic RPG it holds it's own. So I stopped playing them.
It'd be nice to see if they can keep the franchise fresh and innovative with these games though.

A wider audience? Besides Mario, Pokemon is the only game that has been played at least once by nearly everyone I know and who's about my age. Some still play it other have stopped playing it but just today I and my classmates talked about Pokemon in school.
I don't really care about the story much. I care more about training my team and trying to make it really good but sometimes I do wish that the story would be a bit more mature.

Looks like Game Freak is stating the obvious here.
That said, I was into Pokemon until high school, and I dropped out of it fully after trying to play Diamond three years prior.
Give me these games instead, Bandai:

(Yeah, yeah, the gameplay is similar, but it's preference on this one.)

Well, people here already know I'm, let's say, eccentric. So if I whip out my DS and Pokemon White people who do play Pokemon might just admit it. It's kind of awesome. It's also partly about knowing who to be up-front with, who doesn't care and who's gonna rip on you.Captain Placeholder said:

I really wish Nintendo would go big with Pokemon and release a full scale real-time combat RPG like Skyrim or Fallout. I would love nothing more than to soar the skies on my Charizard instead of some bullshit fast travel....
One can only dream.

Pokemon is awesome, but it really seems to have dumbed down over the years, ESPECIALLY the TV series, I mean Ash is supposed to HATE Gary, and suddenly Rivals become BFF's? WTF? Anyways, beyond that I just don't have that same addiction to Pokemon that I once had, however when Heartgold and Soulsilver came out, believe you me, I was ALL OVER IT. I hope that Pokemon continues on, but I won't be getting Black and White short of finding it in the street and getting it for free.
The game is fun, well designed, artistically funny, the humour works on several levels and the story is a good lark.
Games that are well made tend to have very wide audiences, and the anti-fun brigade can suck on my Pokeballs if they think just because I'm an adult means I can't enjoy myself in the ways I see fit that are totally legal.
Gotta catch 'em all.

It is, thats why you have to remember to pace yourself and let your team take a break every now and then, Brock has the right idea.teh_Canape said:well, can't disagree with youPunkRex said:

Man, I gave up on handhelds a long time ago.
but with a new pokemon coming out, and a new Golden Sun out there as well, I'm seriously considering jumping back in, especially with the 3DS being a reality.
and would it kill these guys to put a love interest in there? One thing I hated and loved about the show was watching Ash never picking up on Misty's crush. We could have something similar in the game.
