I just saw today's X-list, and guess what they thought was the Number 5 "franchise that needs to be wrecked"? I'll tell you anyway: POKEMON!!!

Those rat bastards wanna see Pokemon discontinued! I could think of 3 other more deserving franchises that aren't even on the list, namely the likes of Crash Bandicoot, Guitar Hero, and Resident Evil (and don't give me that crap about RE5 being just ONE BAD GAME, and don't tell me that the crappy rail-shooters on the Wii don't count; Resident Evil needs to go away)... Now I'll admit that Pokemon has seen better days, and could possibly do well to be overhauled... But it's not bad enough to warrant the destruction of an incredible game universe, with an impressive degree of folklore and an impossibly huge fanbase... I'm just putting this out there for anyone who wishes to read and/or comment... You don't have to agree with me or even express any opinion at all... But, please, if you do comment, don't insult me or anyone on this thread... You may discuss...

IMO Pokemon sucks ass, after seasons 2 they suck.

Pokemon should of died about 5 seasons ago.

Seasons? The Anime has like nothing to do with the games. Also the games are getting better on an average.

Dude, I'm talking about the games, NOT the crappy anime series! Use your brain: this is the Gaming Forum, not the Off-Topic Forum...

@Sc

The Anime DOES INfact have something to do with the Games, the games are based off the anime, that and the 100,000 of pokemon.

If they made a pokemon game like Super Smash Bros, then that would be awesome.

And thank you, sc94597, for that vote of confidence...

umm.....

Garnett, the games aren't based off the anime; the anime is based off the games... Get a clue!

@SC

So...the gameboy games were so good that they got there own Anime Series?

They don't like pokemon very much.
