Tecently picked up my old Pokemon:Fire red and remembered how much I loved it. I've not been playing a week and had beaten all the gym leaders... Anyone else?
I'm currently playing Pokemon Blue and Silver on my Emulator. So addicting it's unbelievable.
I have ruby next to my bed. Playing through when I cant sleep has been a practice for me since jr high.
I protest X and Y because they're all three-D and .poo.
Umm? Excuse me?
Poo?
X and Y are going to be fantastic. We have been wanting 3D graphics for Pokemon forever. Scrolling 2D is cool and all, but I can move diagonally. Plus, new faerie type is going to be fantastic. The problem wih black and white and it's predecessors, dragons were hard to counter. Essentially the only way you beat them was with equally powerful or stronger dragons.
It's gonna be huge and any avid Pokemon fan wouldn't call it poo. Sure blue and red and yellow were good, but the new games are way better. Setting nostalgia aside, they offer a million times better in gameplay and replay value. And a lot more in competitive play.
I've played the crap out of soul silver. Easily my favorite game of all of them.
In regards to X/Y: I'll be buying a 3DS solely to play them. Although, this fairy type makes me want to show extra love to Haxorus while I still can :(. He's just so good! I've been playin since gen 1, stopped at gen 3, then picked it up again with Black/White. Haven't played a single one I don't like! B2/W2 were excellent! Easily spent 100-ish hours in it. Then decided to do a nuzlocke and lose everything :-\. Not quite my best decision.
Haven't played in a while simply because I got bored with EV training :P. I'll pick it back up when a friend of mine starts talking about it and piques my interest lol
When I still had my DS lite, I played leaf green. But then, I bought a DSi, and my DS lite broke (the top half was actually ripped off of the bottom half), so i couldn't use the game anymore, because it was a Game Boy Advance (or maybe color, whichever is newer). So, I gave my game to my friend, who still has his DS lite, and he took all the Pokémon off my game and onto his (after beating the final four or whatever they're called, of course). My venusaur is still one of his best Pokémon. I gave it to him around level 70, and he got it to about level 90.
Only because I'm a very nostigapic person, you should know.
As much as I like Pokemon, they really need to stop making new ones, it's pretty obvious they're out if ideas, I mean seriously, ice cream? A garbage heap? Really? Pokemon has fallen, let it rest in peace, remake the old games (1st gen or 2nd gen) go no further, the originals will always be the best

Pokemon meets Skyrim anyone?

LOL
Gen 1 had a pokeball Pokemon. If voltorb would have been released in the most recent gen, he would have been rediculed beyond belief, but because he was gen 1, all hipster kids love him.
Makes no sense. Gen 1 had mice, turtles, worms. Yet that's apparently so super inventive. They could mix around all the gens and it wouldn't matter what was released, if it was after 1-2, they would be hated because close minded people who don't even care enough to attempt to play AND enjoy the games past silver/gold don't like them.
It's sad. And Pokemon by far has hit a low point. It's still really huge in every aspect.

They did remake Gen 1 and 2. FR/LG and HG/SS. No need to do it again. If they're going to redo any of them, I want to see a remastered Emerald.

Ruby/Sapphire remake would be so good.
Or Pokemon snap or stadium. But for the WiiU. Handheld would be bad because not enough sprites.
The only way they'd remake games is if they had a fundamental change in them. When they did the Gen 3, they added IV's or EV's or something, and that made it incompatible with Gen 1 & 2. That's why they remade Red & Green, and ultimately Gold & Silver. They had to give you a way to get those gen pokemon.
Personally, I'm stoked for X/Y. I still need to finish my dex in White 2 though. :( I've been procrastinating it in favor of KH: Dream Drop Distance.

I've played Pokemon for years, but I've never once filled out my pokedex or seen a shiny :-\

I've only ever finished the Gen 1 and Gen 2 dex. Never played Gen 3. Played Gen 4, but never finished. Now into Gen 5, I'm about... 10% in.
I ran into one shiny. And it was the worst experience of my life.
I was in a cave doing a team battle quest line with my rival. Ran into a zuba and a shiny zubat.
My rival one shot the shiny zubat instantly.
I never screamed so loud in my life:
I've ran into a shiny Ponyta. It had gray flames instead of firey red flames.
What does everybody think about the emulator? My friend was playing sapphire using it, is there One for the iPod? I think you have to jailbreak it...
Probably will get X, actually. Anyone found a spoilers site for it?

Lol my first shiny was platinum, i had no idea what a shiny was either haha, it was in that cave under the bike track, (i think it was platinum anyway). My immediate reaction to this was HOLY .POO. THIS GEODUDE IS FREAKIN GOLD!!!

For me, it died after the masterpiece that was diamond and pearl.... Everything that followed was garbage.
Yeah same, but i also like platinum.

I got a neg for saying that?
I actually didn't like diamond and pearl that much compared to heart gold, and soul silver

Fire red, Leaf green, ocean blue, and anything before were the only really good ones. If they go back to 2nd gen (my favorite) and do that special 3-D graphic .poo I would buy it.
I would trade my emerald away for some cards I value it at 15 it has one shiny all but 3 legendarys and I'm only missing 4 to 6 pokemon total it does have mew, Lugia,deoxys and literally every item in the game lol might be corny but my pokemon days are done and no action replay was used
People should quite being nestolgic about pokemon its still a great game, as for gen 5 pokemon preferably the ice cream pokemon, it maybe dumb to you but a seven year old girl probably thinks its the cutest thing in the world, you know the games target audience of young children an the garbage one lets be honest here gen one had some stupid ass pokemon designs for example gen five as a pile of trash gen one had a pile of muk :p literally. So garbedour is actually a really good pokemon too so gen 5 is actually decent all the way around. As for the people that think the new types gonna ruin the game look back to gen two when dark and stell were introduced it got the same reaction and now everyone wants pokemon of that type, fairy simple was put in to even put competitive play and will in no way hurt the game itself
