| rendo said: I've been playing pokemon since I was about 11 and I haven't stopped since. There's so much more to the game. It's so simple yet so complex at the same time. I can't help myself. EVs, IVs, Breeding, Battling, Natures, Hold Items, and more. People give me looks like I'm crazy when they see me playing. They see me as an adult that plays a kiddy game. I say bah to them all! The game is great, the anime... not so much. Who else is with me? Who else is a full grown man that has seen real boobies, maybe even has kids and still plays Pokemon? |
Pokemon is not considered kiddy...at all...the anime makes it appear kiddy, while the game involves A LOT of math, critical thinking, strategy and science. Even most of the kids who play the games where I work at (school age; I do childcare for the time being for my major in education for marine biology) hardly understand the concept how to increase the stats of the characters. And the way they make the movesets is just...awful.
The anime draws the children in to play the game, yet the kids will hardly understand the concept of the games. My neighbors have twin sons and they are into both Power Rangers and watch Pokemon. When I had brought my Wii over for them to watch me play PBR, they had no freaking idea how I played the game.
