Pokémon

OK, you may think Pokémon is a lame concept now, but there was no escape from it 7-8 years ago. Every kid around was hooked on Pokémon...

I was a big fan of the trading cards and an even bigger fan of the TV series with Ash, Brock and Misty. The Team Rocket entrance was undeniably pathetic though, and the plot wore thin after just five episiodes.

However, I always tuned in to see Pokémon, until I became really addicted to online forums. I rarely bothered with Pokémon after that, but I was saddened at the way they were always using the same storyline again and again and again, just to milk the franchise for every cent...The fun part of Pokémon was over by that point. :(

Anyway, Pokémon was cool once. It is a pity they went too far with it.

Pokemon was fun back in like 2nd-5th grade. Then it was gay and stuff. I sold all my cards for like $5, shouldve hung onto them though might be worth a lot of money someday.

Please god tell me that good ol' GB isn't getting like Florida? High School teens watching Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, wearing Pajamas to school and whatnot? Whats happening to that place?!

Pokemon died a long time ago. I can proudly say I didn't own a single Pokemon card.

OK everyone take a DEEP BREATHE.....RELAX.... and COUNT to 10. Please for the love of god lets keep this post clean of slams and disses. I could care less if you liked, still like or idolize pokemon with or without the slant over the "e" but no slander or slams on ANYONE. If this thread keeps spiralling out of control it will go bye bye.

What does the ignore thing even do? Like avoid PM's?

Anyways, Pokemon was amazing back in the day. I had a ton of cards, and everyone in my area battled each other and went and bought more cards together and stuff. Then it died and I sold them all for practically nothing. Probably should have just kept them for a good laugh now.
