so does anybody here play Pokemon?

has anyone here enjoyed a Pokemon game since the 20th century ended?

the original batch of Pokemon games were an amazing experience because of (1) the novelty factor (2) the social factor.

everyone played it, so you had an ulterior motive behind training your team of favourite pokemon - to humiliate your friends the next day.

i'm sure 10 year olds enjoy their first Pokemon game just as much as most of us did 10 years ago. but for us, those 2 factors are gone, and Pokemon has become just another repetitive grinding rpg.

You have to keep in mind that pokemon is aimed at kids. Even if it wasn't and you were able to kill anything you fought, that would really suck because if you came across somebody who uses an AR (or w/e cheat device is out there) to hijack their pokemon's stats, that level two pidgey wouldn't have even been phased by that hyper beam and would just rip through that gyrados body with a tackle as if it were made out of paper.

Tell me, do you want to see your level 100 gyrados be ripped in half by a level 2 pidgey?
