Why do YOU play Pokemon?

I picked up a game and played it. I've been hooked ever since. No real reason. It's just a good time waster.
Haha. Those are good reasons, I guess.
I don't really care much for the anime, mainly because I don't have Cartoon Network, and it's be weird if one of my friends caught me watching it. I'm a 15-year-old girl! LOL!
And also, good for you for trying to keep the franchise alive! I'm sure Pokemon will continue to grow over the next few...say... decades? Haha.

OCD, mostly. I'm compelled to catch 'em all.
But I also like looking through the games and finding all the little flavor-texts and things that they put in. I'm not really interested in the game's stories, because I can use the attitudes of my Pokemon and the information from the Pokedex to create my own. It's the easiest medium for me to write off of, as there can be so much drama and action in a story that involves sentient creatures and the trainers who work with them to accomplish goals.
That, and each new series has a new set of Pokemon that I like. I started off falling in love with the game ever since I saw a picture of Charmander in a Nintendo Power, and haven't looked back since. If I get bored with a game, I simply find a new way to play it. Tired of battling? Train for some contests! Tired of contests? Put my Pokemon on the Wii Ranch and see how they interact with the other legendaries.
Tired of all of it? Start a new game and write a day-by-day story based on the whole adventure from the eyes of the trainer himself, seeing how I'd 'play' myself if I were in the game. I find it makes getting more than six Pokemon difficult, because after I look at the natures and traits of the Pokemon and put them into my story in some defining way (such as having my Piplup jump into the nearest fight he can get his flippers on, or having my Machop, who likes to clown around, juggle the stones he breaks off of a boulder after Rock Smash to the delight of his 'adoring' fans), I get attached to them.
It must be how Ash felt, I suppose... but playing it like that has certainly given me a new way of looking at the game.

I play my Emerald Version because I love the graphics and the Battle Frontier. I absolutely love the Battle Frontier, even though I never was able to earn a Gold Symbol as of now. I play my Pearl Version because I love the GTS, as every time I trade, I have a better chance at the lottery, and I get to see where the person I traded with was located.

Hmm. I guess, the one reason I play it is because it gives me a sense of imagination, and also something to do.

Well it's not only fun. It's challenging for the player.

I guess cause I'm hooked to it since I got Blue.

The magic of Pokemon
I've always been fascinated by cute (and sometimes not-so-cute) creatures with magical power. They may just be data, and I'm aware of that, but at the same time, I can't help but feel a twinge of pride when my team takes out the Champion.

When I first heard about it I thought it was really interesting. Now I play for fun and to complete the pokedex of course. The new pokemon add to it as well and evolutions and stuff, but the main reason for me is because it's fun.

it's good for fun
