(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:

No where near lame, But i don't take it that seriously, i play an Emulated Version every now and then when i'm bored

No way!!! I GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL :mudkip:

They are brilliant.. I don't really like the new one's much, last one I bought was Diamond and didn't really enjoy it much.. GOLD was my favorite by far with Joto and Kento in it

Although one thing I hate about pokemon is the cave's. I despise them they annoy me so much :L

Yes. Pointless games

Crystal, Yellow. Are the best in my humble opinion. GBC FTW
