I don't hate Pokemon. I'm just not interested. Not my thing.

I hate the TV show through.

It has stupid names and it's boring? Ooookay. Pokemon is not stupid, if for the sole reason that it continues to be a blockbuster seller after all these years and very little innovation in the series. And anyway...it does have a kind of kiddie veneer on it, but underneath all that is a fairly deep RPG (at least for a handheld system) that can be very rewarding. If you didn't play every game that had a stupid name on it, you'd miss a lot of great games.

My statement still stands. Just change it to "if you didn't play every game with stupid names *in* it, you'd miss a lot of great games".

I see what you're saying...[/sarcasm]

YOU come up with 493 different INTERESTING names that somehow relate to each other if need be. Then we'll talk.

I respect everyones opinion. I personally like true rpg games that stay true to the original red/blue games. The other games I don't care about unless they are really fun.

I don't think it is stupid, but i think the creativity is gone, especially with the character names. I mean, Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam were just naming gold. Same with Ditto. Pure genius.

Yes, i played blue and red to 100% when i was 12, about the show stopped having any story progression. Its not an amazing RPG, its not a good show, the creature designs are lazy. They may aswell include a shoe and a lamp in their nextpokedex, i doubt anyone would notice or critise them for doing so.

What's stupid is this topic... though I can agree that the show wasn't that great, but I don't see what this thread accomplishes.

Not stupid in the least, and to say that Pikachu is a stupid name, is just, well, stupid. I still like to play the games, and if I am ever awake after working the graveyard shift, I will definitely watch the TV show and enjoy it.

Edit: By the way, I am 31. "but, you're not mature if you enjoy Pokémon"

Pokemon, is not stupid! I mean we all have our own tastes in gaming, obviously, but games like that i grew up on. I had my gameboy and pokemon red or blue, and that was all that was needed to have a good time. All those classic GB one's were awesome, and even today, even tho the games aren't the same, I came back on Pokemon after playing battle revolution, and I think it's interesting on how I don't know any of them and it's still fun to try to play. Battle Revolution may be pokemon, but for playing a game itself, stupid names or not, its still a pretty damn interesting strategy game and can be pretty fun online. So yes pokemon may have gotten old, but we can't call it stupid or bad, because heck, look at how many people back in the day were playing it, and are still playing it today. Just to give you all my opinion

I think Pokemon only works on handheld. I find the Pokemon games boring on home console. I was never a big fan of Pokemon on the consoles.

maybe they just need to make a more mature pokemon game to get support from all the more mature gamers (or gamers who think they're mature). i say the next one should be Pokemon Black Version. lol

I think it's stupid because I grew out of it and released what a milky series it is. Crystal was it's breaking point - it just got downhill from there. There's too many pokmeon! And most of them just look weird. They should've stopped at 250 or 300 and just keep reinventing the series from there.

Pokemon's a great rpg, that's it. I never really liked the show even when i was younger. But me and older brother still enjoy the games. The cartoon comes off to kid-ish and the game tends to get like that to, but the pokemon games are the only RPG games i've played for over 100 hours. So if you think the show is a bit boring hey i'm there with ya! But the game is great for a handheld system. The names are getting a bit werid to the point where I can't prounce them, but hey who cares!:)

I'm thirteen and I don't necessarily flame things with "stupid" names. Video games are supposed to be fun. Names don't matter.

I liked the first 2 games, red and blue. When they started making more pokemon on top of the 150 i lost interest cause they just got wierd.

pokemon red and blue had some nice elements of gameplay.

...Wait... you guys are serious?

Well, maybe it's not for your demographic - it's mostly lil' kids game.

HOWEVER!! (history lesson kiddos)

I've playedit through most of elementary school, then in middleschool, all my friends became self-righteous pre-pubecent teenagers -so everybody was convinced that they were "too old for it" (lawl sorry 13 yr old noob, play the game and stop cryin')

now, in my senior year of highschool,a fewof my friends asked me to pick up diamond version,a perfect addition for anyone's DS.

Now stop pretending that your "too old" for sh*t and just play the game like a good little 13 yr old. ya na?

i admit the names are stupid, it sounds like random words combined into one and the show is awful... get 8 badges, go to pokemon leage add 100 more pokemon and repeat. The games are fun though, and i dont hate any of the RPG games (that i have played)

Man I love it when 13 year olds try to bash something like Pokemon, just cause they think it'll make them look mature; especially by calling it "stupid". My older brother recently bought himself a DS Lite with Pokemon Diamond, and he's 19! I'm 16 and probably won't play Pokemon again (lost interest after Crystal version), but I certainly don't think it's stupid.

But the show sucks, just like every other anime.

I didn't know that stupid games could be so much fun! Fortunatley for TPfan222, he doesn't have to deal with stupid games like pokemon because He's 13 and he can play "cool" games like Spider-man 3 or Transformers: The Game.

Duh, nothin's cooler than gettin through Mount Cornetto (meh, don't care, i like ice-cream) and reaching Spear Pillar, after levelling up your Pokemon by battling a hell of a lot of trainers and wild cave Pokemon, just to find that dreams come true in the form of a giant Dialga (or Palkia) distorting time (or space) at the summit. And then proceeding to catch said Dialga in your only damn Masterball you won by humiliating Cyrus in a battle at Galactic Towers.

Duh, pure storytelling gold.

Don't pick on me, I chose Chimchar!!!

Really beats Digimon's approach. WarGreymon? Uh uh, that never happened. You don't have more than 3 evolutions of the same damn Japanese styled monster! It's not ethical!

pokemon was intended for people around TP's age

tp you should be begging your parents to buy you every version of every pokemon
