Who likes Pokemon

so who else out there watches pokemon.

It's a real shame. Pokemon used to be so 'in'. You couldn't go anywhere without seeing pokémon cards or memrabilia. Now? It seems pokémon has disappeared and been replaced with crap spinoffs like 'digimon' ?! I say bring back pokémon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you get a Pikachu on a bus.

Pokémon!

Hahahashhahahaaaa.. sigh :|

Not a fan myself.

Which proves who the true fans are. Most people only followed it cos it was the new fad, and when it was no longer as popular as it was, the only people left were the true fans.

Welll, even though i'm not into it any more, i can still see the good game mechanics in the GBC and GBA games, and do actually play them on occasion.
But i've got into Magic: The Gathering now, so am not playing the card game any more.
I did make up this really good game with the cards though, which was basically simulating the Gameboy version and stuff. It was really good...

so in a way, you are a semie fan. Most fans these days are either a fan of the show, or the game (i'm both).

Can one of the mods move this to the "Books, TV and Films section plz.

I used to be seriously into pokémon strategy.

My team:-

Zapdos - Thunderwave, Thunderbolt, Double team, rest
Slowbro - Amnesia, Psychic, Rest, Surf
Snorlax - Ice Beam, Body Slam, Amnesia, Rest
Venusaur - Swords Dance, Body Slam, Razor Leaf, Mega Drain
Starmie - Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Double Team, Rest
Alakazam - Psychic, Kinesis, Thunderwave, Recover

www.eek2.com/www.pokevision.com (my old site)

Strategy in that game is seriously deep.

But there are better pokemon though, and the two types make it more vunerable in my opinion, and its stats aren't good enough to compentsate.

Strong stats, good range of moves and TMs/HMs it can learn. Being psychic type is useful too. Some people prefer to use Psychic over Ice Beam or Blizzard for STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus - a pokemon get's a 50% attack bonus when using a move of the same element type as its own).

In R/B/Y, the psychic type was hugely overpowered. It had no weaknesses, apart from ghost and bug. However, there was only one ghost attack in the whole game - lick, which did fixed damage, and only leech life was the only bug attack that didn't do fixed damage.

Parasect was the only pokemon to learn leech life. Parasect can actually be very powerful - some moveset based around spore (the most accurate sleep move in the game) and swords dance could possibly work, or perhaps even a double-rester type moveset could be effective in some circumstances. In any case, leech life is an incredibly weak attack.

The "special" stat was also hugely overpowered, since special defense and special attack were a single stat. A pokemon using amnesia can raise its special to 999, use STAB and take out a Mewtwo in one hit. The "tobybro" which is a name for a slowbro which has learnt certain moves could annihilate a whole team once it got going. Even electric attacks would do very little damage once the special was raised so high. Slowbro also has great defense, so even physical attacks do very little damage. Using rest also removes any status ailments too. Only thing that could possibly take down a tobybro might be a very lucky electrode (screech, double team, explosion, thunderwave).

who then?
