I've never played Pokemon Options

[Sandraaa]

What is Pokemon? I've seen some things on TV about it. There's a yellow thingy and the characters have weird faces.



I'm guessing it's a cartoon but there's a pokemon game? Erm??

[Just_Dream]

It started out as game on Nintendo (gameboy?) or something. Then I think they made it into an anime and manga. It's one of those Japanese rpg games... Wait, Pokemon's an rpg, right? With leveling up and stuff.


lol w/e Sandra, you know you think Pikachu's cute. ;x

[Elba]

Sandra lives in Belgium, so maybe it wasn't big over there like it was over here.

[AimeeLynn]

I never played it or watched it. I've heard of it and it was a huge craze but never got into it.

[Sandraaa]

LOL who's Pikachuu? Anyhoo, well Pokemon also known in French as Pokémon was huge in Belgium but none of my friends play/played it so I was never interested. I heard people talk about it at school. 'sall.

[Just_Dream]

But I'm shocked not everyone has heard of Pokemon... It's like a cultural phenomenon since like.. 1997 or something. I forget.


Of course, Gundams and Haruhi Suzumiya (or w/e her name is) have like.. cults. jk :P Those Japanese!

[Sandraaa]

WEIRD FACES!!!!

[Glamourouz]

OMG! I remember when I used to play them on my gameboy color, used to collect the trading cards, watch the cartoon, & battle people with mine...

[xTINAA]

I still play pokemon (: I'm about to beat the Elite Four! haha, I'm sure no one knows what I'm talking about.


Anyways, pokemon is more of just a videogame than trading cards, like it used to be. (At least I think so) And I don't know if they still makes shows? Basically there's a person (trainer) who collects these pokemon, who are pretty much like animals that you take care of and train for battles against other trainers. The whole point is traveling through these cities to beat your enemies at the very end and along the way you win money and get to capture and train other pokemon.

Pokemon is short for Pocket Monsters.

[xCutUpAngelxxx]

:O do you live in a hole? pokemon is like one of the best things on earth.

PIKACHUU I CHOOOSE YOUU. xD

Hell yes!

I still play pokemon (: I'm about to beat the Elite Four! haha, I'm sure no one knows what I'm talking about.

I know what you're talking about!

I used to obsessively play the Game Boy Pokemon games. Hahah. Hmmm, I should find them. :]

[xTINAA]

I took a break from playing after beating the second to last gym leader but I'm hopefully going to beat Pokemon Pearl sooooooon.

[tokyo-rose]

I'm about to beat the Elite Four! haha, I'm sure no one knows what I'm talking about.

Tehe, I do. I beat the Elite Four a bunch of times in Crystal and Silver (yeah, way old versions). It gets boring after your Pokemons' levels are a lot higher than the Elite Four's, but it's a nice way to earn lots of money fast.

[Marlons]

I remember my Pokemon days, I still have my copy of Ruby with a complete Pokedex, and Lv. 100 PKMN. The elite four were a bunch of noobs to me. I used one pokemon to wipe them out, I was much more of a pokemon nerd back then.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

I had about 2 thousand dollars worth of Pokemon cards. But I didn't get as into that as I did Yugi-Oh. I have about 50 thousand worth of those. I'm planning on selling them in a few years when the price goes up.

One of the spelling suggestions for Yugi was Yuri

[xTINAA]

50 thousand? Isn't that a bit much...

[heyo-captain-jac...]

50 thousand? Isn't that a bit much...

You don't know how much I have. Its a small footlocker filled with them.

[Tweeti]

i forgot all about pokemon, i never played it, but i remember people used to get in trouble for bringing cards to school.

[ImDaBestIDidIt]

These the fine HOs I like.

[Insurmountable]

holyshit, sandra you have to be kidding.

or well probably not, you live in Belgium, I believe it was? Anyway as others have posted well its a series of episodes and story lines.

Pretty much there are trainers and they are put on theses quest to fill their pokedexs which store facts of every pokemon they encounter.

[Just_Dream]

I have 300+ of those damn pogeymanz cards.


Chrissy - Oh man, I still haven't beat the 6th or 7th gym. I haven't touch my DS since last May or June. lul I should get back on that!

[tokyo-rose]

My elementary school principal would announce over the PA system, "No Pokeman cards are allowed." I never understood how anyone could pronounce it "man" since Pokemon is clearly spelled with an "O."

[Tramatize]

I never played it or watched it. I've heard of it and it was a huge craze but never got into it.

[The-March-Hare]

Pokemoooooon!

Lol, a while ago my friend and I downloaded allthe games for the computer... VERY good way of procrastinating... 'Oh, I know, instead of starting my essay, I'll just beat all the pokemon games for a minute.'

Good times.

Grass starters FTW, btw.

[datass]

wow
i never played/watched pokemon either
but i know about it. my cousin was so into it.

[Gryffindor-Girl]

I never played it either but I was obsessed with the cartoon I watched it like everyday Non stop until there was no more Pokemon on TV.

[S-Majere]

Man, I used to collect the cards and play the games...

Got, got, got, got, got, NEED!, Got, got, got...

[none345678]

yes sooo many cards haha sometimes now and then ill find one stuck in a corner some where, and i remember they used to be on the back of Lunchable boxes real old school like.

i think i punched a kid because he wouldn't trade back cards with me once X]

[IzzyGrace]

OMG! I remember when I used to play them on my gameboy color, used to collect the trading cards, watch the cartoon, & battle people with mine...

Ha, that's how I was with Yu-Gi-Oh! =.= I'm sort of ashamed, now.

[superstitious]

Iz and I still fight over who's cooler, Pikachu or Bulbasaur. I'm a Bulbasaur girl through and through.

[Insurmountable]

lol I still have all of my cards, way over a 1,000 of them. I wish they were actually worth something so I could get rid of them. I still have all my pokemon games too. I just found my pokemon yellow for my gameboy color the other day.

[hypnotique]

OH MY f**kING GOD YOU ARE KIDDING RIGHT?

Pokemon are the second best thing next to sex on the beach.

[Just_Dream]

LapBunny wants you, Diana!


Oh man, thos Bidoofs. Such goofy-looking pokemon. Everytime I see it, it makes me lol.

[aaayotiffany]

I have 300+ of those damn pogeymanz cards.

i used to watch the show everydayyyy and i still have my pokemon card collection back from like 5th grade. i love my cards. lol. and i know i have all the cards for the pokemon that have 3 upgrades/transformations. i also remember beating the first first first pokemon gameboy game before my brother, it was a big accomplishment for me.

i really don't like the new pokemon though. :\
the classic/150/151 pokemon were the best.

lol I'm on victory road right now and it sucks. You gotta fight a wild pokemon like every two steps - I need to buy repel! haha

I used to have cards too but I didn't really play with them I just collected them. I'm sure they're somewhere at home collecting dust.

[karmakiller]

I've never done anything Pokemon related. I honestly don't know anything about it I remember when I was younger abd people would trade cards... that's about as far as my knowledge on that goes. lol.

[The-March-Hare]

Iz and I still fight over who's cooler, Pikachu or Bulbasaur. I'm a Bulbasaur girl through and through.

Damn straight. GRASS STARTERS FTW.

[freeridefight]

You need to go and get the original versions first. A.K.A Red, Blue, and Yellow. The new versions are lame.

[Melie]

wow
i never played/watched pokemon either
but i know about it.

[Sprague]

OH MY f**kING GOD YOU ARE KIDDING RIGHT?

^Word!!

I love Pokemon! :D I used to collect all the cards, buy all the games, and I even bought two GBC's/GBA's to trade with myself so I had all the pokemon. I taped all the shows and most of my attire back in 4th/5th grade was... well, pokemon. xD I was crazed, and proud.

[EddieV]

I'm guessing Anime isn't a big thing in Belgium either since you said weird faces.

Hmmm, Pokemon first started out as a game for the Gameboy, then it turned into a television show for kids. I remember I got my first Gameboy and Pokemon blue when I was in 6th grade. I was so happy! Well anywho.

There's two purposes in the game, or in the show. You can either be a master by capturing all 151 (original) or 493 (current) Pokemon. Or you can train the ones that you've captured to become stronger. It depends on your goals. Although mostly in order to accomplish all tasks it's good to have multiple numbers of Pokemon.

You can carry 6 Pokemon at a time. By battling other Pokemon with yours you gain experience and level up making your Pokemon stronger. By leveling up you gain different techniques which aid you in becoming a Pokemon master. You can set different types of techniques and develop better strategy to defeat your opponents. Once a Pokemon reaches a certain level, it can evolve into an even powerful form. Aside from just battling other opponents in the game, you can link up with your buddy and battle them as well. This is where the real world tournaments come into play. (I play Pokemon on a professional level)

Personally I love Pokemon and to this day is one of my longest surviving hobbies, however I don't like the idea behind it since it promotes animal cruelties in ways (cockfighting, etc.)

My current team

Porygon-Z
Infernape
Gallade
Garchomp
Weaville
Jolteon

My secondary team

Heracross
Starmie
Sceptile
Skarmory
Tyranitar
Salamence

[LoveToMySilas]

Pokemon is short for Pocket Monsters.

Thats odd, I never knew that. I always thought it was japanese for something.

[Sandraaa]

Anime isn't big but it's there. I LOOOVE mangas but they're books. They look weird on TV. I only watch Nana on TV. Actually, I've only watched it twice.

Pokemonnn whaat?

[EddieV]

To be honest, it's really hard to get into Pokemon now that there's almost 400 episodes over 1,000 techniques, etc. But you can start if you wanted to.

[Sandraaa]

Oh yay!!

[Starter]

So this is how an episode goes:

-Ash and friends find a new person.
-Team rocket tries to steal new person's pokemon.
-Team rocket blows up into a star.

If you see one episode, you've seen em all.

[Starter]

The different versions of the games are pretty much the same as well. <_<

Try playing the classic "blue version."
Fun fun. (:

[Luna5]

Um WOW I thought I was obsessed!

[Just_Dream]

You know int he first Pokemon movie, with the sad Pikachu scene? Oh man, that was so sad! I didn't cry though. But still, very sad! D:


Oh man I even had the soundtrack to the movie. Augh I'm so mad - I can't find the cd though! And it was a Christmas gift from years ago.

"It was you who showed me I've got a friend in you...." lalala
Ashley Ballard and So Plush or something. ;x
