First time GO came out, I ended up walking around my local grocery store looking for Pokémon. I saw this guy across to the far side of the store with his phone walking around. He was maybe early to mid 30’s. He looked up at me, and then walks up slowly and points. “Pokémon Go?” We both talked about it for a bit but it was pretty funny just catching some random dude running around the same store doing exactly what I was doing.

Also my first probe here ever was a Pokémon go joke about a Ghastly over the “three little devils” scene from Trash Humpers.

Detective No. 27 posted:The social aspect is what makes that series so brilliant. Pokémon is an incredibly well-designed game because it lets you get as casual or into it as you want. You can complete the game’s story, and that can be it. Or you can also do the post-game stuff, or you can complete the Pokédex, or you can do breeding and battling (which require VERY different skills from the main game), there’s a lot to the Pokémon games and it’s very well put-together.

If she still wants to theres a pokemon trading thread on sa and they are super friendly with setting people up with good breeding parents. Then it's just using items like destiny knot and everstone to pass on stuff you want the parents to pass on to the babies E: the whole "babies inherit the same type pokeball as the parents" thing is crazy, but I'm not surprised people spend time doing that.

I really wish I could still be into Pokemon but there's just something about the incremental changes they made and the evolving art style that bounces me right off anything made after the second gen. I feel so left out.

My favorite gen is Gen 5. (Black and White.) It was the peak of the 2D era, with the fastest battles, and a whole brand new 150 Pokemon. You don't see any old Pokemon until you beat the game. Not even Pikachu. It was pretty bold. It has a robust post-game too. Sadly, it doesn't get much respect these days.

The meta-game of anticipating who your opponent could switch in was exciting. CelticPredator posted:Pokémon owns Hell yeah it does. I'm looking forward to Let's Go. I'm getting the Pikachu version, and I bought my girlfriend the Switch Eevee bundle for Christmas. I can't wait to see the look on her face when I give it to her when we go on vacation next month.

When it comes to adults not leaving behind childish things, I have infinitely more patience for something like pokemon than, for example, my ex who is almost 40 and just sent me a link to their "poetry blog" on which everything is written in that specifically early-college word salad/hippie platitude style. And then asking me to critique it. All I could say politely is that it's a style I've long since moved past and so I have no real input as to whether it's good or not.

If Nintendo doesn’t make Pokémon Snap VR then they don’t deserve to exist as a company.Detective No. 27 posted:Digimon taught me about 666 being the number of the beast. Digimon season 3 was amazingly hosed up for a children’s show.

Harry Potter replaced Pokemon for me and I was into Harry Potter for longer. I have nostalgia for both of them but with Pokemon it's pretty much just for the trading cards (which in my school were the most popular part of the craze) and the first season or two (?) of the anime series; pretty much up to Ash competing in the Pokemon League. I didn't think of the Pokemon cartoon as an anime series, though. Pokemon was just another cartoon to me - just part of the craze along with the games and the card game and everything else - and Dragon Ball Z was the first "proper" anime series to me.

Is this actually going to be part of the main series of games? I know it ties into the mobile game a bit so I was hoping it wasnt gunna be part of the core titles. Is pokemon bank usable with it?

They've said there will be a mainline Pokemon game on the Switch next year, and some way to transfer your pokemon from 3DS games to it.

And as far as I can tell it’s only the original 151, plus Alolan variants, plus Meltan/Melmetal, the new legendaries.
