What was it that draws you to Pokemon?

What drew me in was seeing some older kids playing, and being five, the logic went like- older kids like->Pokemon, so-> Pokemon must be-> cool! end of disscussion. I've been hooked ever since.

My brother tried Pokémon Red Version once, and he liked it.
So he asked our parrents: "Can I have a Pokémon game?".
He got Silver, and I tried it. I liked it, so I asked my parrents, too and I got Crystal version.
And I just kept loving Pokémon... well, the first two generations.
RSE is okay, but to me Pokémon died after Johto (don't remember how to spell it). When PD came, Pokémon realy died.
That is why I only play LG/FR and my good old friend, Crystal.

I agree with the above statements.


I basically just like RP/Strategy games.

My friend was playing it, I saw them, I play. :] Hooked for 8 years. x]

I love monsters, so I pretty much enjoy every show that features them (I wouldn't dare come close to Yu-Gi-Oh! and InuYasha if it weren't for the beasts). Transformation is also something I enjoy, and fantasy is, by far, my favorite genre. Pokémon is great because it has all those things together.

And, like sN0w, I'm a fan of RPGs (and RPs too); I like having a bunch of characters that can do different kinds of things (even though I prefer building my own) and being able to control them. However, I don't entirely enjoy strategy because I'm a rather lazy thinker, so I'm an awful player, even though I like the games a lot (specially Mystery Dungeon).

Also, Pokémon has interesting concepts behind each character, and there are many subjects that were explored and can be explored. Like, dragons, ghosts, evil things and all that jazz; there's lots of imagination and ideas you can put into the plot and create from it.
