    People say that pokemon is por kids but I play it. I like the game. It's cool to fight other people and get our pokemons stronger and stronger... I don't care if people say that is for kids because i like the game and it's not because people say that i'm gonna stop playing... I'l continue playing even when I have 40 years!!! Pokemon is the best game i've ever played. But I live in Portugal so it looks like i'l have to wait a looooooooooong time to play Pkmn Diamond...

    I too think that the pokémon franchise is childlish and in most cases just mass produced junk, but even so... the games can actually create very entertaining sessions...

  • i have played and completed all the version right from the first one on the gameboy and loved them all. i am 22 and have got the new version pre-ordered (us version as we are unlikely to see it europe pre setpember). anyway, you have to love pokemon, its amazing and fun to play.

    Yeah I don't really get the pokemon thing but oh well, whatever makes people happy :) I know young kids like all kinds of toys and sets that you have to gather. You know, different parts and all that. So pokemon was a sure hit when it was released to the public ages ago but it's just weird that people still buy basically the same game over and over again. Yeah I know they have their differences, I've tested them all (because you can't really say something sucks unless you've actually tried it yourself for more than 5 minutes :)), but seeing kids where I live always with BOTH versions of the games (you know red/green etc) is a bit strange. Gotta be the "collect them all" attitude. I know when I was young I wanted all the transformers and not just one..
