A game that almost all 90s kids played, and a TV show that almost all 90s kids watched. The best Pokemon will ALWAYS be the first 150, now it's getting lame with the 450+ Pokemon, which now look like something out of a bad acid trip. The TV show was great when the theme song was "I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was...", after that, it went down the drain. I loved to play the games even though I sucked and I would really like Pokemon to exist in real life. To me, having a Vaporeon or a Dragonair as a pet would be pretty flippin awesome.
You'll teach me and I'll teach you! POOOKEEEMOONN!!!!!!
Yes, I am a girl and love Pokemon, and no, I am not ashamed.

The anime: The culprit of giving Pokemon a poor reputation among the former fans of the game (the older ones, at least.) As the anime continued it got worse and worse.
The cards: I was never really into the Pokemon cards, but based on what little I knew they were quite fun at the time. I'm not sure about today, though.
The game: Many people who are either misinformed or simply un-intelligent bash the game series. However, if one actually looks at it from a purely gaming standpoint, it actually requires a lot of intelligence and thinking on your feet. The games are quite fun and entertaining, (lets face it, nearly anyone could play it for 4 hours straight no problem), and require a substantial amount of strategy and planning.

Pokemon is a, consistently, best selling game for Nintendo's gameboy. The most recent versions, black and white, sold over one million copies the first day they were released in America (that's 1 in every 307 people!) The game, inspired by a man who would capture bugs, has been adapted into an anime, card game and manga.
Though the show itself is directed towards a much younger audience, the game is fairly complicated. Sadly, most people don't have the intelligence/patience to fully understand/appreciate the game.
The card game is pretty similar to the video game in that it takes a certain amount of intelligence to fully appreciate, though it is also very different.

My level 100 Scizor is a monster, here is why:
Nature: Jolly (+10%speed/-10%sp.att), ability: Technician (powers up weaker moves by 1.5x)
Stats: (up to 510 EVs for any Pokemon is allowed, I realize mine only add up to 508, but the last two don't matter.)
HP 275 (4 EVs, 25 IVs)
ATT 358 (252 EVs, 30 IVs)
DEF 226 (0 EVs, 21 IVs)
SPATT 108 (0 EVs, 5 IVs)
SPDEF 189 (0 EVs, 24 IVs)
SPD 248 (252 EVs, 28IVs)
If this makes no sense to you, you obviously know nothing about Pokemon. This is only one Pokemon (out of 649) and I haven't even listed its moves and why I chose the moves that I did. As far as humans are concerned, there are unlimited combinations of Pokemon when you take EVs, IVs, Natues, Abilities and Moves into consideration (a trainer may have up to six Pokemon on them at once.)

A half decent game that was worth buying until the entire franchise was perverted by Anime producers in the mid ninety's by making television programs and "cutifying" everything and everyone in the game.
"The original game was pretty good, but WHAT THE FUCK are Pokemon Cards? PEICE OF PAPER? like SIX for $12!? WTF IS THAT!

Creatures abreviated for Pocket Monsters. These Pocket Monsters replace animals. These things have either normal, dark, flying, psychic, steel, bug, pioson, rock, ground, grass, water, fire, fighting, ice, ghost, ???, electric, or even two of any of these types, which is oftenly called a dual type. Pokemon go with trainers, cordinators, or regualar people as comrades, teamates, pets, or even could do jobs for their masters!
1. Pokemon is not violent, is it?
2. To Pokemon, or not to Pokemon, that is the question.
3. Pokemon shall not be uncool, as long as I say so.
