(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I constantly hear people berating Pokemon games because they're for kids, or they're nerdy, or they're lame. And I want to know, what do the inhabitants of NGU think? (When I say Pokemon games, I mean Pokemon RBY, GSC, RSE, FrLg, DPP, HgSs, and BW.) When you post, please post your reasoning for it. Elaborate if possible, remember, this is a DEBATE!

As for my personal feelings on the matter:
I personally do not think Pokemon games are "lame." I'm not really an avid fan of the genre, I used to be, but I cut back quite a bit over the past 4 or so years and recently picked up Soul Silver (what a rush of nostalgia!).

While I do feel that the concept has been beaten with a stick repeatedly, I generally kept a pattern of getting at least 1 game per generation and find myself truly enjoying the games. I couldn't name more than maybe 10 fourth generation Pokemon off the top of my head, but I'm not going to say that the fourth generation was retarded.

The concept of Pokemon remains strong, and that is that you amass creatures with wondrous powers and make them do battle, and it effectively turns into a complicated, glorified version of Rock, Paper, Scissors. There's also the fact that it's accessible to people of all ages and can be played even by those who don't know how to read. It's a classic RPG series and is not one to be dismissed as childish, nerdy, and/or lame.

Pokemon is serious business :mudkip:

pokemon is still cool for me .. dont. I play it but , i remember the "world" of it .

I haven't bothered with any after gameboy advance
Great games though, up to what I played anyway

ya they are lame

I used to play pokemon when I was little, Now I just don't really like it, I like my shooters or racing gaming ! Well anything i can annoy people on xD

I personally think it is lame! =D

i am 17 years old and i still love pokemon! i have pokemon white preordered right now and im going to the midnight release, pokemon is not lame

I picked up my DS on Saturday and I've played 22 hours since then...
I'm addicted!!

Pokemon used to be good, but it just gets repetitive.

A typical Pokemon game:
1.Someone is in trouble, so you choose a starter Pokemon to help that person out (grass, water or fire)

2.Your rival picks the complete opposite Pokemon to make the game challenging.

3. You travel through the PokeWorld till you get to the legendary Pokemon. On your way you will encounter some bad guys know as team _____ (aqua,magma,lava,ect.)

4. You then beat the battle tower and then you try to capture all the other Pokemon in the PokeDex.

THE END

Doesn't matter what people think...its how you feel about it! :mudkip:
