<p>Anybody else on CC a pokemon fan? I know I am. For me, pokemon is the way I live. After a decade of pokemon, I've realized pokemon isn't just an idea, it's a way of life. So, anyways, getting back on track, this thread is about my love of pokemon. Not specifically my love, but anyone's love. Let this thread be a common ground for those who wish to discuss the pokemon series. Whether it be video games, comics, or television, pokemon has always been popular. </p>
<p>So now, let the avid pokemon fanbase discussion begin!</p>
<p>^lol, but then some of them are so suggestive that I was too young to know.</p>
<p>Number 35. I don’t know. Come on, there was this thing on Cinnibar Island in Red/Blue that allowed you to get like infinite rare candies and I believe everyone did that just to beat the Elite Four.</p>
<p>I too am getting Black and White, but the pokemon look weirder and weirder as the Fifth generation pokemon are being revealed.</p>
<p>Btw, more new pokemon are released on serebii.net.</p>
<p>Sigh…I’m one of those people who thinks Pokemon is for kids. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED Pokemon.
I even downloaded emulators to play them back in the old days. I got all the way to Emerald and LEaf Green.</p>
<p>But I just stopped playing after Freshman/Sophomore year. </p>
<p>Now I’m into COD, Halo 4, Gears of War, Fable, God of War, etc. Hardcore Xbox games</p>
<p>Anyone else in here a serious Pokemon gamer? I logged about 300 hours into both my Emerald and Platinum versions, and have about 150 on my SoulSilver. I frequent Smogon University a lot, and during the summer I get into the competitive scene. I’ve stuck with the games since I was a kid, and unlike the casuals who “outgrew” Pokemon after the first or second generation, I actually think the new games are a vast improvement upon the originals and offer a lot of positive contributions to the Pokemon experience. Sure, you can’t beat the nostalgia of the original 151, but it’s not like the originals are gone now.</p>
<p>Yeah for me, I’m unsure if I’ll buy pokemon black or white, but still, pokemon is amazing! And @John117, you are right. I think I will stop playing pokemon after freshman/sophomore year, but luckily for me, I’m a rising 8th-grader, so I still have a long time for pokemon!</p>
<p>Starting kind of a new discussion, have any of you seen the design for the Nintendo 3DS? I saw it on nintendo’s website and it looks awesome! Besides the actual system, it’ll be awesome because of the games. They are re-releasing old console games (zelda ocarina of time, kingdom hearts, etc.), except this time, they’ll be on a handheld, and they’ll be in 3D!</p>
<p>MIThopeful16, do you have an account on Smogon/Shoddy? I don’t use mine very often. I’m more of a Battle Tower/Frontier type, but I still lurk the Smogon forums pretty frequently.</p>
<p>@PioneerJones Dang. A competitive battler. I would lose to you horribly. Moreover, I do agree about the new games being a vast improvement.</p>
<p>@MIThopeful16 I spent 469 hours and 45 min on Diamond, leveling up a bunch of my Pokemon to level 100.</p>
<p>@markalex1 The 3DS looks hella awesome. Since Black and White, Professor Layton, and some of the other nintendo games will be played on the 3DS, I will be buying it.</p>
<p>i wish they reverted the series back to its original form with: Brock, Misty, and Ash, rather then the gayness which it has recently become. </p>
<p>I can’t even name all the pokemons’ anymore! when there would be the snippit “whos’ that pokemon” i would be able to instantly say, oh its articuno, bulbasuar, or ryhorn, but now they just look like blobs with no names to me.</p>
<p>I might have had one, I haven’t been to Smogon in forever. Shoddy I believe I have one as well, but I don’t remember. I think I clocked 500 hours on both diamond and platinum and pearl. Once I got all 150 on Red(Mew through the glitch, so I guess 151), I was the proudest dude in the world.</p>
<p>I played Ruby in 5th grade, but stopped then. But Red, Blue, Gold, Silver, and Yellow are still great games in my mind, even if I haven’t played them in forever. Nothing <strong><em>ed me off more than that </em></strong> rival who took the Pokemon with the element advantage over whatever you chose. That just crosses the line.</p>
<p>Lol I never had a problem with him. He was like cakework. Beating Red, however, was a task I put my time into. The first time, he raped me. 2nd time, It was such a freaking close match. My pokemon were near fainted and I snuck in one last blow.</p>
<p>Red was alright back then in Gold/Silver. The only thing that was a challenge for me in the past 4 generations was the Battle Frontier. I couldn’t get all of those badges in Emerald. I only managed to get 4, but they were only silver.</p>
