The Pokemon Mega Thread

We never left the room but player 2 wasn't allowed to look while player 1 picked. It was a pretty tame experience unlike playing Goldeneye 64 which of course the accusing of screen peaking happened often :p

Jrose11 and Nuzlocke Joe are two of the most interesting content creators in this segment, if you ask me.

i haven't checked out nuzlocke joe yet. i've mainly been binge listening to jrose11 while doing stuff like drawing, sorting out stuff on my computer and washing the dishes. i'll have to check joe out later and see what he has on his channel.

Welcome to one of the most successful game in the history of gaming !
Pokemon it will soon be retro itself so many editions so many Pokemon generations but what is your story and experience with this game ? Tell your Pokemon story !

Pokemon has basically been something I've known about or been a fan of for as long as I've been alive.
I actually wrote about my own experience with pokemon on my wordpress, but I'll paraphrase it here since it's always nice to reminisce.

I watched the anime a bunch, especially Diamond and Pearl, the only time I ever woke up early in my life on purpose and felt good about it was as a kid when I woke up at 5am to sneak downstairs and watch the pokemon movies I had recorded on the family TV and I'd do that until my parents woke up.
I couldn't afford any of the games initially, so my first game was actually Pokemon Ranger, which I played on my DS. I knew nothing about Gen 3, so I thought all these pokemon only existed for this one entry for a while lol. Eventually though, on my 10th birthday, I got my first mainline game, Pokemon White. Unova is still my favourite generation to this day, and I remember playing so much of it, it's the only one of the games I actually completed. Sadly I never got to experience any of the Mystery gift stuff because I think the game was like a year or so old when I got it, and I couldn't access the internet at that age on my DS.
After that, I got Platinum and Soulsilver, the latter being my 2nd favourite of the games, I loved the little tamagotchi thing that you got with it, and having ur pokemon actually follow you behind you felt so nice! It felt even more like I was on an adventure with something that was both a pet and a friend.

Sadly, I've never been able to properly get into or enjoy the 3D games, the art style of the 2D pokemon, especially Gen 5 was a huge appeal for me, and those games are just, not as nice looking to me. Despite that, it's a franchise that's near and dear to my heart.

I was first introduced to Pokemon when i was four or five years old (so around 2008-09) when my older brother showed me his Pokemon card collection we played a "game" where whenever any of the Pokemon took damage he'd destroy it with a BB Gun they were old cards to all Gen 1 if i recall. I had no strong feelings on the franchise then. My second encounter with Pokemon would be in 2011 i was living with my grandma for a time because my family was moving into a new house and they didn't want me around. i was watching Cartoon Network one morning when an episode of the Pokemon Anime Came on specifically it was the Black and White adaptation and the particular episode was. "The Lost World of Gothitelle!".

it was a very strange and eerie episode and the theme song grabbed my attention and has remained in my head to this day. By the time i started living in my family's new house my mom gave me my brothers Gameboy Advance SP with a few games namely a port of the shitty NES Star Wars Game, Mario Land and Pokemon Yellow.

My First Experiences with the game were fairly embarrassing i got stuck on delivering the parcel because i didn't know what it was and put it in my pc and by the tome i figured out how to progress i got stuck on Brock for awhile until figuring out how to beat him then went up to Vermillion City Caught a Psychic type and it was here i fell in love with the franchise as a kid i felt like i could conquer the world with my Abra or Drowzee i only got as far as Sabrinas Gym Though.
