• Today I was going through my closet and notice my old GameBoy and pokemon games. Growing up in the late 90’s early 2000’s this was a big hit for my friends and I, and apparently still is with today’s kids. I remember watching the TV show, collecting the cards and buying the games. After about 3 season I lost track of the show and same with the cards; However, I kept playing the video games. If anything the games promoted cooperation between my friends and I (trying to catch them all) strategy, and reading (A lot of reading!). Random topic but just curious if any one else here has had a pokemon experience.


  • It became big after my time in school. I do remember buying three packs of Pokemon cards for my then girl friend’s brother. The funny thing is, this kid got an awesome air hockey table and bike, but was more excited over the three packs of cards I bought him. His parents were upset.


  • All the bad stuff of CCG gaming with no redeeming value from interesting artwork, an interesting license or decent game-play.


  • My sister really likes them but I dont really know why… Never really fun for me.  :-(


  • I used to love those things. Me and my friend played the, coordinated what games we bought so we could “catch em all” and he even made an elaborate chart showing where to catch each pokemon! The cards were fun too we loved em and collected them by the crap load. I liked the show at first (u know the original pokemon) but then it got cheezy and i lost interest (that or i got to old  :-().

    I lost interest in the show when the pokemon introduced I believe it was the 3rd generation? I was the only one in my school who actually knew how to play the card game, other were just interested in collecting the holographic cards, so I never player the card game with anyone else except my brother. The hobby store I visit plays the TCG of pokemon, but it’s nothing what I remember (new rules I guess?). I bought one of the latest versions for the Nintendo DS 3 years ago and it wasn’t bad, the graphics were awesome but the characters looked as if a 5 year old came up with them (probably).


  • The graphics are too pixely for my taste


  • My roommate is really interested in languages ( as any wise person is) . I catch him watching Pokemon episodes in Japanese on YouTube sometimes. Its a good show.
