You only see me go rageface on haters who have no legitimate reason about it.

I also love some of the evolved forms in gen 3.TheKasp said:Gen 1 has a pile of mud and just renamed animals. They were obviously out of ideas back then *sigh*. Please come up with an argument that you did not read somewhere and kept on repeating it over and over again.AuronFtw said:Gen 5 has pokemon modeled after trashbags leaking shit and ice cream cones. It's obvious they're out of ideas. The last best thing they could do is make a huge, immersive MMO, but nintendo fucking blows at making new games/using new ideas, so they'll probably just keep cranking out the same old bullshit.
If this graph:RobfromtheGulag said:How is it that it stays appealing to the 5th graders even as time passes though? Do new 5th graders get on board, or do the 5th graders from R/B days still play it? The latter has not been the case in my experience, I just wonder how it still has appeal and exposure to young audiences in this constantly changing atmosphere.Kahunaburger said:Nintendo has discovered what is essentially crack for 5th graders.

The anime is still going, to my knowledge. I believe it airs at like 7 or 8AM on CN or something, which is usually about the time children are getting up to get ready for school/eating breakfast, including (I think) a new episode sometime on Saturday and I know that around noon on Saturdays they always have like two episodes on.RobfromtheGulag said:How is it that it stays appealing to the 5th graders even as time passes though?

That analogy doesn't work because the prequels were objectively complete shit. No, you can't argue against it, Red Letter Media made it a fact already.J. Mazarin said:SUDDENLY: OPINIONS EVERYWHERE
Pokemon was an enormous part of my childhood, though I generally stopped paying attention after gen 2, sticking with R/B/Y and G/S/C. Black and White revived my interest in the series, and I'm genuinely looking forward to B/W 2 as it looks like they have a chance to be the best Pokemon games I've ever played.
You grew up. You got older. And now, you don't enjoy the new games as much as you enjoyed the older games when you were a kid. Sounds like you have a TRAGIC variation of Star-Wars-Fan-Itis.
Just because you don't like the series anymore doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. It's bigger than it's ever been, and it'll continue to grow whether you like it or not.
Nobody will ever argue they were not.Syzygy23 said:That analogy doesn't work because the prequels were objectively complete shit. No, you can't argue against it, Red Letter Media made it a fact already.
Pokemon died for me after the ones with Regi things. Y'know, those golems that required a ridiculously unintuitive sequence of events to make appear and then required at least 60 attempts to capture with ultraballs.
