Lee here, with another top 10 roundup! Straying away from sexy this time (boo!), I’m taking a look at my top 10 Pokemon from the original 150. These are the views of a 10 year old me, not from a current me, a competivie pokemon player or anything like that. Think back to when you were 10 and Pokemon was first about, who would you have picked as your top 10 before Pokemon turned in to what it is today?
Jo writes "Ash Ketchum’s journey – and our own within the games – across many regions with friends, foes, and fellow pocket monsters turned into a pop culture phenomenon that still reigns as the most successful franchise in its 25th year."
Xfire writes "As you'll soon learn, while it is true that some popular banned video games do at least warrant the censorship or ban they received, some games were banned from sale for some pretty weird and radical reasons."
i dont get censorship in games.
they have warnings on the boxings, age ratings, drug use warnings, strong language and sexual themes and many more.
its not so much the government's job to censor, as it is for parents to make sure their kids dont play those games. and those who are easily disturbed or sensitive, should stay away from them.
i do understand that some things might be triggering for some but.... why do ppl suck so much lol.
but being in debt before 18 or 21 is highly acceptable somehow ha
seriously.
I’m glad there’s not much censorship in the UK towards video games. Reading bully was banned confused me as i don’t recall that at all.
Nintendo has always been bashed for its censorship (green blood in MK controversy) and then they gave us some dark moments like Crocomire’s death in Super Metroid and even let us strangle people to death with the Wii controller. It’s like they have tried at times but there image is very much Cemented as family friendly so I don’t think they will ever be able to stray far from that.
I remember my mom coming home from work with a copy of Thrill Kill and saying “I heard this games banned so I got you a copy” 🙌
Honestly the game wasn’t even that bad, there’s far worse content in books and movies.
Thrill kill at the time was edgy, but there has been much worse. Fun times with Imp the pimp!
honestly, its up to the parents and the players on what kind of experience they want to have, not the publisher.
From Cinelinx:
To celebrate this year's very special Pokemon Day, I take a look back at the original games' impact and how it still resonates today.
What a nostalgic list.
Brought up some good memories.
My top 10 from Gen 1 in no order:Jolteon,Vaporeon,Chariza rd ,Scyther,Articuno,Mewtwo,Drag onite,Blastoise,Beedrill and Haunter.Jolteon was the first Pokemon I ever got to Level 100.The reason I picked Haunter over Gengar is because when I played R/B/Y I never had anyone to trade with.Also I once did a solo run with Beedrill,thats why I like him.Gen 1 Pokemon were by far the best,much better than the Ice Cream cones and rubbish bags with faces that pass as Pokemon these days.
This is my favorite Pokemon.

I would've added Charizard to the list. The author doesn't seem interested in power, though.
