Poll: if you play pokemon how old are you.

[chozo_hybrid]

I played Red and Blue back when they first came out, a bit of Gold and Silver but nothing has impressed me enough to bring me back to them.

It seems lie barely anything has changed, yes I know you can tag team etc but I also find a lot of the new Pokemon themselves quite lame.

 

[Xenobite]

I'm 14, and I've made it obvious to my parents and closest friends that I'm getting soulsilver. I have to admit, though, I'm more of a closet pokemon player. I don't let people know, because it's kinda frowned upon to play when you're over 12 where I'm from. And I have to say, 10 is the predicted age to start playing. That's why all the characters are ten year olds.

 

[slightly evil]

except Bidoof

Massively this. Fuck Bidoof. It speaks volumes about the pokémon when it's sole real use is being lugged around on the pokébelt as an HM Slave.

Hell yeah, and contrabersial though it may be, Pickachu can fuck off/catch Ebola as a pokemon, it was kinda cool to have around tho. (16 n' still goin btw)

 

[Plurralbles]

I was 10 when I started and have gone off and on the games ever since. 19.

 

[Divock]

I'm 17 right now, and yeah.

I'd like to point out that while Bidoof may suck on toast, at least it can do something.

Someone explain to me the point of Luvdisc. PLEASE.

Stopped playing it a year or so ago, great and fun game - but the two "different" games (or countrer-parts) were misleading and essentially each new Pokemon is the same as the last with a few new features and upgraded graphics. I have nothing against it, those are just some realisations I found about the series.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

19.

We shouldn't assign ages to games, because everyone says that gaming is for kids, too.

 

[Souplex]

I liked Pokeymanns when it first came to the US in 98-99. I hated it afterwards.

 

[Hollock]

I'm 17 and play, my math teacher also plays, I never asked but he has a pokewalker.

 

[Wolveria]

Loved Pokemon to death (I'm female by the way). Started playing in about 8th grade, stopped after a few years. Loved the show too, in the earlier stages...

This pretty much sums up my feelings for Pokemon.


I'll always love you Magikarp!

I'm 16 this summer, and I see no end to my Pokemon playing.

Except if they come up with some bullshit pokemon... some sort of overlord that is better than Arceus.

Then I'll stop playing the new games... maybe

You just tell yourself that. But we know better, don't we Charmander?
You'll never stop!

I'm 19 and I expect SoulSilver to arrive next Friday. So there.

 

[Kanlic]

I never understood the craze for pokemon. When I was young and stupid (8), I got sucked into the fad, until I realized that they just kept releasing the same game over and over again with just slightly better graphics

not to mention that they make the consumers pay full price for half the content, just so that the idiots who are willing to buy both red and blue, ruby and sapphire, or any of that other nonsense, just to test out the shear retardation that is the American consumer. there is no excuse for the developers not to include all the pokemon in one cartridge, especially since you can trade all the monsters from one version into another, meaning there is no space issue.

OT: I played the game when I was eight, realized that there were better turn-based strategies out there and went on my merry way without ever looking back

 

[Brad Shepard]

hey, im 19, and i play yu gi oh for cash as well, so pokemon isent that bad in the long run.

 

[Enigmers]

I'm 17, and these ranges are extremely broad.

speeking of charmander, you can get one after getting all 16 badges, just to let you know if you dident already.

 

[RikSharp]

this is more of a nicer way of saying what I said, sorry I didn't read into the thread enough to see this already posted
