I'm going to be straight up and say that I have an up-right addiction to hand-held pokemon games.
Of every generation. Except III, I'm still forcing myself to play Emerald.
Does anyone else dabble in my guilty pleasure?
If so, I'd like to know you're starters and favorites.
Starters:
Totodile
Chimchar
Squirtle
Favorite:
Ampharos.
I don't care how emabressing it is, I know someone is playing it.
I'd hate to say it, but I'm a purist when it comes to Pokemon.
I hate hate hate using legendaries for anything.
There happens to be quite a large number of people in my school playing Pokemon.
FireRed/LeafGreen and Diamond/Pearl, mainly.
It's an addicting, nostalgic game that doesn't require a lot of thinking or strategy, which is why I think it still appeals to me and most of my friends.
I have an emulator on my computer and have FireRed.
At school, I've also downloaded LeafGreen and Emerald.
I'm such a geek over that shit.
Ninetails was a pokemon I never used.
Simply because it was a version exculsive and I always ended up playing the version with Growlithe instead of Vulpix.
There seriously isn't anything I don't know about that game.
It's pretty embaressing.
i always make a return to pokemon at least once a year
only the ones with the original 150 though
back in the day my favorite was scyther
i always thought it was pretty badass
Pokemon isn't embarrassing at all to me ( I mean shit, its in my name).
The games kicked ass.
The cards taught me to scam, lie, and cheat.
The show weeded out a bunch of epileptic kids in Japan. (I'm kidding I swear)
Pokemon is great and I was legit addicted to Pearl when it came out. I am pumped for Platinum, and am sure it will be great.
I feel like people just auto-assume that the games are mediocre... but I think they really bring it all to the table and are a great way to pass time.
I love pokemon, especially the three first games, I hate the new pokemon, the first 150 rules.
The first 150 are easy to love..
but the new ones, for the most part, fit in well.
It's easy to hate without getting to know them, but once you get out there in the tall grass and duke it out.. showemm in a ball.. you really start to appreciate them.
When they first came out, where I lived the red kids hated the blue kids and vice-versa. It's quite funny, but we still argue about it now.
I played blue and always started with charmander because I have a thing for fire types. Though, first chance I get, I catch growlithe and make that motherfuck head of the pack.
I even still have my old pokemon cards..O\\\O..I still have old pokemon games from when blue and red first game out XD heehee..yes..im a nerd...within reason...tehehe
okay i ♥ pokemon thier all just SOOOOOOOOOO cute ^.^ and my bro has every single one of thier games except crystal and he also has the pokemon ranger games which i have beaten both of
I love being the guy who always knows the name of 'that one pokemon'. I just stole red version from one of my friends yesterday and bought an old school gameboy off ebay.. cant wait til it comes in.
Pokemon for life. I don't care what any nay-sayer says.
I never played Pearl, man.
But I can't wait till the Platinum ROM is released.
Although, if they remake Gold and Silver, I'm BUYING that shit.
Fo sho.
There is a certain magic of playing the original games on their original platform, though.
Agreed.
I don't know if you're intersted in ROMS, but I downloaded ShinyGold. It's a patch for FireRed. It's the original Gold and Silver redone with all pokemon( Legendaries and Starters) available in the game. All the ones from Generation I, II, and III.
It's pretty bad ass.
And, I also love being the guy who knows the name of that one pokemon.

I keep my addiction to Pokemon a secret, for the most part. There are a few others at my school that play as well and we usually end up talking about it and how much it's changed since we were 10 in my C++ class.
My favorite pokemon, which also happens to be the best on my team at the moment, is Spiritomb.
omg i love Pokemon. My dad used to go to Japan a lot, and he would bring me back tons of Pokemon stuff. most of it was all in japanese, but it was still amazing. I have a lot of pokemon cards from Japan, and still play all the pokemon games for Gameboy Color. I have a super awesome pokemon collection. A lot of japanese pokemon stuffed animals and games. [yes, i still like my pokemon stuffed animals. i dont care how childish that is.]
I recently starting playing Pokemon Red again, on the original gameboy made before most of you were born, (its a brick.. almost literally). It adds importance to my college Art History class.
Ampharos, Swampert, Charizard, Alakazam, Heracross and Walrein.
It was for ShinyGold. It kicks so much ass and covers so many types.
FireRed: Blastoise, Raichu, Arcanine, Nidoking, Pidgeot, and Kadabra.
or
Charizard, Nidoking, Raichu, Gyarados, Kadabra, and Snorlax.
for Diamond.
Lucario, Infernape, Gastrodon, Roserade, Staraptor, and Luxray.
I always try to have as diverse a team as possible, with movepools that cover everysingle type. Like, for example, I taught Lucario Psychic, and gave Luxray crunch.
