You Encounter a Wild Cubone!
You Encounter a Wild Cubone!

So I'm rummaging through my room getting rid of old stuff and I come across my old pokemon games Emerald, Sapphire, Crystal, and Gold. I say "this is going to the Ebay for a couple of bucks" but then i stopped and thought maybe i should keep these they're pretty fun for a quick little RPG to pick every now and then but anybody i know will look at me saying "you still play that? That is old and for kids throw them away " but then i thought no kid I know still plays with Pokemon so how is it still a kiddie game and how the heck are they still thriving. So my question to gamers do you still play Pokemon and if so what do you find appealing about it?

U know what's a shame, Michael Vick gets sent to prison for dog fighting, yet Pokemon teaches kids to fight wild animals for money...jk

Nah. I know plenty of people who play it, not all of them kids. If it's a game you enjoy, play it.

Yeah, I liked the first two the best. I remember buying the Japanese version of Silver before the english released. I was the popular kid that day at school, even though no one could read the names. lol

I played waay too much Ruby back when I had my SP. I almost called in sick to work cuz I stayed up all night playing... 
 
I haven't really touched anything Pokemon since, but I still read the occasional article about it, so maybe once hooked, your'e always a little hooked? So getting hooked when your an adult makes it an adult thing for you maybe, i don't know. O_o

My meaning was that it is for little kids and if you are into pokemon when you are older; I would not rule out the possibility of a mental development disorder.

What people find as childish when they are teens, will find them as cool nostalgia when they're adults.

It's only fun if I got the cheat codes and even then you won't catch me playing it outside the confines of my own home.

It's not really a kids thing anymore. I know a helluva lot of people my age (IE: late teens) that buy and play Pokemon regularly, and even collect the trading cards.
 
And these kids are popular.

This is great that you mentioned this because in Homeroom in school we were talking about all old things what we had when we were kids. Like Hey arnold and Rugrats and then we came across pokemon. We all figured out that everyone our aged played those games once or twice. (Also note that my homeroom is all girls. So, not only boys played pokemon games when they were little.) And we also found out that it would be cool if we played it again. Also some kids in my class brought in game boys and played pokemon on them. So, yes, it is still okay to play pokemon on occasion. I wouldn't sell it because in my mind pokemon for game boy is like one of best games out there and I can play it over and over again.

This.  
 
The games have always been fun for me and I can't stand it when people look down on me for playing. Yeah, it was bigger when we were all kids, but playing as an adult, it's can actually be a challenging, fun game if you play with the right people. I hate haters.  
 
End of rant.
