Pokemon would have to account for about a quarter of my entire childhood.

[captain-obvious]

i only like the first season of the cartoon
the rest feels like ...... there where rehashing it over and over and over and over
even if they changed characters and stories
its just doesn't feel the same

games wise
i didnt like any pokemon game
never

Yeah, the first series of the anime was the best.

Personally, i think the second gen of games (GSC) were the best. Went downhill after that. Although the Gold and Silver remakes were good too.

After all the hype for Pokemon Black, i was expecting a lot form them, but i got burnt. I dont think ill be returning for the next gen.

I agree about Gold, Silver and Crystal. I'll keep coming back, though. Especially if they let me bring in my older generation Pokemon before I finish the story next time. Still bitter about that in Black/White.

Lol! Bigger than CoD. I love the fact that a kids game beat it out.
