yeah well, whatelse could I say, I mean I'm 24 and I still like the games, I don't collect the cards or anything, but I agree it was the greatest rpg game I've ever played. reason I stopped is I grew older, I stopped playing with the cards, and before I knew it, there was new pokemon out. so yeah, the original ones like red/blue were the greatest but once they started making platinum (or silver or whatever they called it ???) and stuff with new pokemon, I simply lost interest, and now FPS games are more fun for me now.
Like no offense but its like pogs to me, pokemon died a long time ago, whenever im 30 if I was to collect pokemon cards, like come on.. I'd seriously have to check myself into a mental institute
