I knew it's been a while, but... 17 years? Dang, I feel really old now... Well, it's crazy to see how far it's come since then. Maybe we'll see X/Y added to that picture soon!

Yeah; the show got all crappy. 

Only one I ever liked was Ash, Misty, and Brock.

( I know this about the games: I'm just stating an opinion. )

As Riku said in KH3D, "Look too hard for one thing and you miss everything else" There's more to pokemon then Ash Misty and Brock. Things have changed quite a bit since Red and Blue hit here. Especially in the games. I mean, Gen 3 gave us double battles and running shoes along with the move dive, not to mention our first and only pokemon from space: Deoxys. Plus a pokemon who creates continents (still at the moment our heavy weight champion btw) and another who brings out the oceans. Even a pokemon who makes wishes come true, which is our first ever psychic/steel type.  Gen 4 provided us with a pokemon who was said to have created the entire pokemon world as well as pokemon who could control time and space, not to mention a pokemon of nightmares as well as a pokemon from a volcano. Gen 5 did what I've been waiting for for years: Unlimited tm use as well as the combined pokemon centers/marts Plus with B2/W2's join avenue and black city/white forest, you can make your pokemon that much more powerful easily, its awesome! Each generation of games has brought us something new and exciting, and I for one am looking forward to the next expansion of poke-awesome: X and Y. As for the show, I enjoyed the original trio of Ash Misty and Brock too, but Misty got on my nerves after a while. I mean seriously, cmon! Pikachu deep fried her bike on accident due to the Spearow attack, which Ash stole why? To make sure he could get Pikachu to safety as quickly as possible. Again though, nothing against the original trio as I loved seeing these three together a lot. But I myself really enjoyed Ash's adventures in Hoenn and the addition of May instead of Misty. It brought something new to the show, and of course, we also got to see something amazing happen: Misty's Togepi evolving into Togetic Plus she has a Gyarados with Flamethrower But going back to May, it was interesting seeing her in Misty's place. Much as I liked Misty, she whined too much about that bike. But May didnt, she did a lil bit but it didnt last. Not to mention it was interesting to have Veronica doing the voice for two different characters so often for three seasons straight. I mean, before I'd heard her as Ash's mom but his mom rarely shows up and when she does, its brief. In this case however, you've got one person doing the voice for two characters in every single episode of this particular series for 3 seasons straight which I found impressive. And for the Brock fans, myself included, I was so glad that he came back too. But I loved May and her lil bro Max being in the group, plus it was really cool seeing both Ash and May being so pumped for competitions, with Ash as usual its gym battles and for May it was contests. Its a bummer they cut that dynamic out in the Black and White and beyond adventures. Again though, I'm not dissing the original group. And we all know Ash hasnt forgotten Misty and Brock, and it was kinda weird seeing Ash in a group without Brock this time around too but eh......anyways, it was cool to see the changes they made to the series. None the less though, I really miss 4kids taking care of the dubbing for the show Even if they returned Misty and Brock to the group, it truly wouldnt be the same anymore

Nothing says pokemon like good old johto to me

Wow,can't believe it's been 17 years since I picked up RedBlueYellow.....man! time flies

 

 

While the show didn't change that much,The games on the other hand has beeen improved tremendously over the years when you compare them to Gen 1

 

Lots of new mechanics:EVs and IVs,Double Battle,natures,abilities,Triple Battle,Rotation Battle....etc

 

 

,lots of Pokemon,new regions,new sidequests,new trainers.

 

Even the fans invented their own way to enjoy the series like Nuzlocke,Wedlocke,Egglocke.....etc

 

 

Pokemon is a franchise that I cherish deeply in my heart

 

It was the reason I love the JRPG genre,it introduced me to it when I used to despise RPGs when I was young

 

And it's one of the few JRPGs that was true to it's root while a juggernaut like Final Fantasy decided to do otherwise

 

 

I love Pokemon and I'll love it even more when X & Y comes out next month

It's been a great 17 years

 

And I still no nothing about Evs and IVs

 

I just Earthquake and Surf all them MothaF*ck*rs

 

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!

I believe it means 17 years since it was released in Japan. But yeah, time flew. I still remember getting Pokemon Silver all those years ago, and watching the anime long before that... Pokemon's one of those games which has a consistent flow of excellent games, even the older ones are super fun today. It's my second favorite game series for a reason, after all!

Now that they have a fairy type, my life's complete 'cuz like i always had difficulties choosing a favorite type when i was younger lol And a lot of fairy types are adorable~
