I'm only 13. I've been playing Pokemon games since I was 6. My first ever game was Crystal. Back then I only knew stuff about the anime (I no longer watch it though cuz it is so lame now) so I had no idea what I was doing. xD;
I feel your pain. I really, really do .. Although it's kind of funny that it embarrasses my Dad so much, though. I think that's why I buy Pokemon stuff around him - Just to irritate him.
I too am 18 and I've been into Pokémon since my friend showed me the anime. Then I got Blue off Santa one year P) and it was AWESOME!! I ate, sleeped and breathed Pokémon! Watched the show, played the games and the TCG religiously. Still playin' the games, and I keep thinkin' wow, I wish Wi-Fi and the GTS and such had been around back in the day... I remember I got all 151 Pokémon in Blue, one of the happiest days of my childhood, hahaha! Anyway, if anyone wants ta exchange Friend Codes (I dunno if this is the thread to do it on, this is my first time on Serebii) then let me know somehow... Also, my highest level Pokémon is 63, so keep it fair (I restarted my Diamond only about 2 months ago and with exams an' all, haven't had a whole loada time to train my team up) so yeah... I wanna battle some randomers!!
You got that right! The originals had much more of a flare and style to them. It's all so generic and the same routine in every season and episode. They basically repeat the same storyline, but with different pokemon. The producers and writers need to get more original people and fresh ideas for the show and games. I don't think fans are going to stay very long, if they don't switch it up a bit. ;390;I'm turning 19 in about 2 weeks and I grew up with Pokemon. I started off watching the show, which by the way was way better before they jumped the shark with the series after johto. After i was hospitalized, I was so weak, I stayed home all the time and I read an old pokemon book which had an advertisement for Pokemon crystal. My parents bought me a Game Boy Advance and Pokemon crystal for me and that's why I'm dying for the release of Pokemon HeartGold. I really feel bad for the younger fans of Pokemon. My little brother (9 years old) loves the new pokemon episodes and he's never seen the older ones because they're never on. He and his friends don't know anything about the originals.
