Pokemon 

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.

Person 1: "Pokemon sucks!"

Person 2: "I agree, for the most part"

Pokemon 

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.)

Pokemon 

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!

Little fuzzy things with cute names and triangular eyes. Pokemon are very passive and will allow humans to opress them, abuse them, and force them to live in little red balls.

"pikachu!" Ash screamed, "Stop humping Jigglypuff and go kill that stupid monkey-creature!"

pokemon 

a game that was really popular. Though it no longer is, the producers are probably STILL trying spend all that money. If fighting, stealing, and violence happened over this pokemon stuff, then it had to have been cool at a point....right?

a burger king cashier was beat up because a dude didn't get a pokemon toy.

A person was mugged and had $90 worth of pokemon cards stolen from him.

Besides, you can still make some good money from the original cards.

One more thing...There were some puns of the game, like pukemon, jokemon, and camelmon (a stupid show).
