Duh, of course people like the original games. It's the new ones no one gives a pineapple about.

I'd have voted Pokemon too.

I went and got Platinum on launch day, even though I already had Diamond. The current generation Pokemon games are just about as brilliant as the originals.

Although in that particular poll I voted for Banjo-Kazooie xP

Along with millions of other children who bought Pokemon cards, played the games, and watched the TV show when Pokemon was cool, only to abandon it shortly after Gold and Silver came out. It was fun while it lasted.

Well, I like pokemon games. However I never really liked the show/ all that stuff.

Just played my old Red back in the day. Got the new one and I like it.

Haha.

I used to be like you. Then I, you know, actually played a newer game. Old ones suck serious ass. Glitches everywhere, Psychic types ruled the land, few moves, fewer items, nothing to do after E4 etc. I can go on forever.

tl;dr your nostalgia goggles are on too tight.

Yeah, that's why I don't play the old ones either. I don't like Pokemon, the only thing that keeps the old ones going is nostalgia. Just like how I was excited to sit down and do 35 LPQs for cracked glasses but realized by the second one that LPQ is boring as hell. And that I didn't want to spend 12 hours running around doing the same thing and killing my level 50 character dozens of times so it wouldn't over level.

What's so great about the new games? Other than upgrading the graphics and adding 5 billion more Pokemon and moves, the game doesn't seem to have changed much. You're still a Japanese teenager being raised by a single parent and working your way through the world, collecting badges and upgrading your Pokemon so you can fight the Elite Four.

Pokemon is mediocre as a competitive game. They only have four moves and there's only so many strategies possible. Most of that aspect of the game seems to be stat whoring by breeding dozens of generations of Pokemon and making them fight 255 Magikarps or something. Sounds exciting.

Oh you just suck. There was MAGIC around them, that was what made them so special... And I remember playing it at the same time the original series was airing... good times.

You're not absolutely required to be a tourneyf'ag and grind 400 hours to make a perfect team. The last game I ever played was Gold before I picked up Platinum earlier this month. I've already logged in over 70 hours, which is a lot for me.

It's just nice to see a huge update to an old favorite.

This, except I was never against the new games. I thought every new version that came out was better than the last. The only thing that forced me to stop was the games moving to the DS. I'll never buy one of those stupid things, so I'm waiting for the DS to get a good emu and play D/P that way.

I loved R/B/Y when they were the newest version, but now I can't stand playing them. They're terrible.

You haven't played on WiFi or Shoddy have you? Goggleemoticon

I love Pokemon so much that I have a Pikachu plush doll.

I don't even know what Shoddy is. Enlighten me?

I've played plenty of turn-based strategy games, though.

Shoddy is a computer program that functions like WiFi, except that you don't need the actual game for it. It also allows you to pick what moves, IVs, EVs, natures, etc w/o having to spend hours upon hours on the actual game to get the right combination. It's quite fun, even if you don't see the batte animations.
