what do you think of pokemon as it is today?

[Garrett x50 cal]

I can't understand what it is with you people?! When ever something is 2.5+ years old you jizz all over the word "nostalgia." And whenever somebody comes along and tries to spice things up make it new, fresh, cool. You hate it, pretty much automatically. I can understand some legitimate not liking of some newer Pokemon, but all of them HATE? Calm down. Now this doesn't apply to all, but for those of you that it does.... (BB Farren)

It's nothing new to this forum of my hatred for Pokemon and I never have/never will like it, but that's not why I am here...I actually have some genuine questions I am curious to have answered for me, thanks.

I don't see how it is still popular in today's day and age, this game is OLD! It was around when I was like 11-12, and I find it crazy it is still as popular today. What is it with this game that makes it so appealing? And if people liked it better way back when, why is it still as big today?

the reason that I like it (and a lot of people who obsess over wifi/battling real people) is the customization aspect that it now has, due to EV's, IV's, and all that good stuff.

it more or less diversifies each usable pokemon, so that the already high options for your team (6 out of a possible 150, and now 400-something)

or at least that's why I like it/still play it sometimes. of course, it's usally shoddy battle, but it's still pokemon at it's core.

there's a limit as to what's usable competitively, but even then, the game has a lot of customization that the player is able to tinker around with.

that, and espeon is <3

Saphire was one of the best games. So much nostalgia

Did you ever stop and think that, to that little kid, the fourth generation of Pok

 

[Ron Swanson]

The new anime sucks.
But I like the new Pokemon games.
