Pokemon

March 16, 2008, 7:35 AM

I'm actually very surprised a topic hasn't been done on this, 9 pages of search results and the only related topics were spam or RPing. So who here practically had sex with Pokemans when they were a kid, and who here still plays the games?

I was obsessed with it when I was little, my interest in it started to wane though about the time Crystal came out. But thanks to the nostalgia factor and the pure addiction of GOTTA CATCH EM ALL I still play them. Actually I just dl'ed the Fire Red ROM on my comp, since all my other Pokemans ROMs are on my laptop. Yes yes, shame on me for using ROMs, I know. But I sold my GBA a year or two ago since I just don't play handhelds.

I STILL have sex with the Pokemans. Those games rank as some of my all-time favorites.

I was a little disappointed with Diamond/Pearl, as the new pokemon were pretty much crap, but it's a pokemon game...so I was willing to devote a large amount of time to playing it.

I keep my gameboy only for pokemon nowadays. haha

I've not played me old Pokemon games in God knows how long, although I'm tempted to try and dig out my Gameboy colour and Pokemon Blue and Silver games.

Used to play these games religously when I was wee. I would almost always start off with the water pokemon, so Squirtle and Totodile, although sometimes Bulbasaur on blue because he was super-effective against the first two gym leaders. Or I would use my sister's game to trade over all three.

I was a huge cheat tbh, the second I got to Cinnabar Island I was Missingo'ing master balls and rare candies to create mein army of super-pokemen! I caught a missingo once though and it completely fucked up my game. ¬_¬

I used to play my brother's Ruby aswell, which is good but really different from blue and silver, I'd say the best one was silver. Although the new pokemon (mon? men?) on diamond are so freakish, they're really running out of ideas now. -.-

I play the games a lot when they get released, and have the urge to go and play them every now and then. The other day I wanted to play Pokemon Yellow xD I'm still gutted that they didn't remake yellow, or gold and silver.

Diamond and Pearl were good, but none of more recent ones have the charm that the ones for the Gameboy / Gameboy color did.

Hahaha, I did the same thing. I forget which item slot gets maxed out, though. The 6th, is it?

I try not to use the cheat, but it's hard to resist sometimes...especially with a finite amount of rare candies available.

Water pokemans are awesome, Blastoise is like one of my favorites evar. Golduck and Gyrados were awesome too

Totodile was alright, it was either him or that horribly deformed chikorita thing or the messed up cyndaquil whatever.

I was always a massive cheat with Cinnabar and Missing No., I had like lvl 110 Snorlaxes, tons of rare candies and master balls and gold nuggets and everything. Oddly enough, Missing No. never messed up my game.

Liez. Yellow was the bastard game of the series. Pikachu constantly followed you around, they changed the Pokemans' poses so when you found Mewtwo it looked like he was thrusting, and they got rid of the Missing No. glitch. I was quite unhappy with my purchase of the game.

The newer versions just have lamer and lamer Pokemans. Hell, Diamond and Pearl have a monkey thing as a STARTER Pokemon....Mankey in Red/Blue was bad enough. There's a few cool ones thrown in from time to time, like Evee's extra evolutions, but there's not enough to balance out the lack of creativity.

That, and you have to play as a fashionably challenged trainer - the worst feature besides Bidoof, imho.

Silver was the ultimate shit. It would be awesome if they remade it, because it was the only game that allowed you to beat all the Gym leaders and travel to another country.

Plus it had Houndoom, moar win.

My missingno was the fucking pwnage, I had a level E95 one. It had four Fire blasts

I loved the Gem series, it r kicked ass. But yeah, the pokemans from Diamond are fugly as shit tbh. The only ones I like are the eevee evolutions, Buizel, Zubat, and a few others. I really didn't like a lot of them that came from the new saga.

And Bidoof was just shit. He looks even more retarded when he evolves. Zigzagoon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bidoof.

At least Zigzagoon was cute.

Maybe they should stop making retarded pokemans and just expand on what they've got that doesn't suck. Just make a few pokemans every few series, maybe like 40-50 of them. No-one ever uses a lot of the ones they even make for anything because they look so stupid. D :

Typhlosion > gay dinosaur/alligator thing tbh

I disliked Pikachu following me around so much, I traded him and had him evolved into a Raichu.

DID THE OTHER VERSIONS HAVE A FLAMING FAGGOT MONKEY? THEY MOST CERTAINLY DID NOT. GTFO.

Sadly, I'm sure that everyone would rather have a mankey than a flaming faggot monkey. I know I would.

Goddamn chipmunk...beaver...thing...

Why the hell did that lame pokemon appear in EVERY stinking area? It's a crap pokemon that should have stopped appearing once you left the first town.

Bidoof makes me want to blow chunks out my butt...in the face of another Bidoof.

I guess they had to think a common Pokemon more annoying than Ratatta and uglier than Paras or Mankey

I am such a total cheat. I'm playing Leaf Green on VBA, and thanks to teh cheat codes I caught a Bulbasaur (now evolved), Charmander (now evolved), Mew (won't obey me), Steelix, and Jolteon. But I'm not completely abusive with cheats, I made everything equal levels so I still have to lvl up just like normal. Takes all the fun out of it when you use too many cheats

I gotta say though, the soundtrack fails. I thought it would be just like the Red/Blue soundtrack, only not 8-bit...but it's not. Either that or my VBA's sound is fucked up.
