Pokemon: Stupid or not?

Inuyasha50 · 04-16-2009

I think Pokemon is stupid, they have been going on for like ever, they need to give up. What do you guys think?

Likewise i think pokemon is just plain too stupid now. It was good during its first season, for me. But the longer it goes, the more useless and repetitive it becomes, making it a shitload full of crap.

Nah, I don't think it's stupid. If going on forever and not giving up is a reason for being stupid, then so is Inuyasha, which you obviously enjoy.

If you can come up with a good reason for hating a stable video game series like Pokemon, then go ahead.

Pokemon is repetitive and its core concept has never changed through the series. But can't the same be said for Zelda? Metroid? And don't even get me started on Final Fantasy.

If you don't like the simple concept of catching and training monsters for battle, then that's fine. But if you like that concept, there's little reason to not enjoy the video games...at least when it comes to the main series. I fully admit that it does get tiring, and that some parts of the newer games are a bit too complicated and some of the new Pokemon are pretty goddamn stupid-looking. But the concept behind the series is still a great one, and the games are still at least moderately enjoyable, if you take them for what they are: RPGs.

But uh...if you're talking about the anime...then I dunno. I never liked it anyway so I have hardly watched any of it. I guess it could certainly be taken off the air and nothing of value would truly be lost.

Answer: The first 6 games (Assuming you count Green and Blue as the same), not stupid. The anime, the answer is no if you've never seen an anime that's fought with somthing other than a fist or a monster that becomes energy. Result? You'll get your head slammed into a locker for admitting you don't think it's stupid.

Correct answer: Yes, it's stupid.

Final Fantasy was pretty good, Inuyasha rocks because it is pure violence, and Pokemon is stupid because they can't seem to have just one plot.

There is only one plot, if you consider the fact that all the plots are virtually the same.

1.) Start out in a small town.
2.) Obtain Pokemon and Pokedex from local professor.
3.) Travel around the land catching Pokemon and training them for battle.
4.) Fight trainers, including your rival. Also fight a criminal organization of some sort.
5.) Fight gym leaders, get badges, go to the Elite 4, kick their asses.

Same thing every time.

Well, not really, you also have to do other crap to get to other places.

Uh, but that's not part of the "plot," so to speak.

And honestly, what the hell does keeping the same plot matter? You like Final Fantasy...a series that is notorious for using a different plot each time even though the titles sound like sequels.

Your gaming tastes make no sense.

I am weird in different ways, i have certain expectations that are for me to know only.

I gusse we all have out own opinions because I still like pokemon. I still like the games and the show. So the answer is no. Pokemon is not stupid.
