Right now I bet some of you are like *facepalm* but to be honest I am actually rather excited! I grew up with this game. I played the game for hours on end just to catch and train as many pokémon as I could! Sad I know, but this is the game of my generation and I'm sure that even if you are not willing to admit it, you loved it too! I'm sorry about dragging the news away from all the FPS games we get on here but I thought it would be a nice change to see something different then call of Duty and stuff like that.

The announcement of the re-oppening puts all things pokémon back into the same place, from episodes to games, clips to the trading card game, and from Abra to Zubat.

16, I was only the Red/Blue/Yellow and Gold/Silver generation. I could probably name the whole original 151 but there's like 493 these days, too many to remember!
