According to Wikipedia, Pokemon began in 1995 in Japan and soon became one of the most popular games of Nintendo, only behind the Mario franchise. To put that in perspective, Pokemon has been around for 14 years.
However, in those 14 years, Pokemon has gained some negative attention, mainly from countries like America. If you ever told any of your peers that you play/watch Pokemon, you will most likely be stared down at.
This thread is to discuss your opinions on the common stereotypes of Pokemon, many of them probably originate from your Elementary School (if you're as old as I am) and how you feel about them.
"Pokemon is for kids"
-This is a game for all ages.
"Pokemon is (homosexuality)"
-I've seen girls play these games too.
"What's your favorite pokemon? Pikachu?"
-This one irritates me the most.
"Who's the strongest? Mewtwo?"
-This one irritates me as well.
Some of these are mainly ones i here from some students in my school. Yet, they put down pokemon as if it were Barney. Kids play the games, true, but adults can play these games too.
So, what are your thoughts/opinions on such stereotypes? It is clear that the common one is how Pokemon is for kids, but be sure to tell us other negative things you've heard about Pokemon.
