Stupid Age Limitation on Pokemon!?

[Nom]

Why don't we go back to what mommy always said? Y'know, all the self-esteem stuff. Who cares if you're older and play Pokemon, they're good games.

[megakiller32]

Wow, you want somebody to kill themselves over a message on an internet forum? Methinks you take stuff a little too seriously.

 

 

 

You know what i meant, it was the go shoot or hang yourself as in "stop making stupid immature comments :XD:

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!![/hide]

 

 

 

LOL..I remember almost every bit of this as a kid. Heh, I remember whenever VCRs were the way to go...I remember having a big rack of VHS tapes (I still do)..I even remember whenever tapes were out and CDs were in (over here, anyways)...lol, the 90's were great. Dial-up internet was a gift, Windows 95 and 98 were some of the greatest things around...*sigh* makes me wish it wasn't 2007. I also remember the Pokemon craze, DBZ and DB craze, whenever some people got back into Magic the gathering..heh, I loved it.

 

 

 

Anyways...I don't get the people who say pokemon is a kids game and all. I personally dont like it. I still play it though. Why? It's an overall good and kind of fun RPG. I like how simple it was to learn..and then you still had to manage the entire party, it was just a fun game.

[Alg]

pokemon, especially the new ones, take about as long as any 'sophisticated RPG', with just as much thinking involved.

 

 

 

only the anime is really targeted at kids, the games are for gamers, wouldn't you say?

 

 

 

heck, that game dragon quest is just as cartoony as pokemon, maybe more.

[Riku3220]

[hide]

ok first off...IMO

 

Mario party games suck real bad...but regular mario games were you only play as mario are fine..

 

 

 

and im 19, and ill tell anyone i'll gladly admit i play pokemon then ill proceed to tell them what version..red, blue, yellow, and silver..also leaf green

 

i really dont care what people think of me liking it...chances are that they at some point liked it also.

 

jeez im really big into the stuff i was into as a kid (Tv shows, games, ect.)

 

i keep it old school for my generation. im a 90's kid..ugh let me find this....

PS:[hide=a song,yay] Iiin west philidalphia born and raised, on the playgrounds where we spent most of our days, we were shootin Bball outside of the school when a couple of guys who were up to no good started making trouble in the neighborhood, I got in 1 lil fight and my mom got scared. She said "you're movin with you're auntie and uncle in bel-air,I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license said fresh and it had dice in the mirror, if anything I could say that this cab was rare but I thought nah just forget it , yo holmes to bel-air! I pulled up to the house around 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie yo holmes smell ya later, looked at my kingdom and I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of bel-air.(music)

[Kiriyama]

Next, Heartless18, i think some of your 90's stuff is confused with 80's stuff :P

 

 

 

A 90s kid is seen as being born in late 80s/early 90s.

 

 

 

Anyway the games are always getting harder.

 

 

 

GSC showed that with that Ice Maze *shudders thinking about it*

[happybappy]

I used to play the cards when I was young. I still play the GBA and DS games. :-$

[jwrm22]

i dont call pokemon a game for 8-12 because i dont see my little brother EV training his pokemons, giving them items to hold, giving them the right moves and using there weaknesses and resistences... to understand all stratergys of the game youll need to be etleast 16+ (or verry smart).

 

 

 

everytime i hear him calling my name because he doesnt understand stuff of the game... or he asks: should i keep this move or delete it.. "can you give my charizard a fire boosting item please" :wall:

 

 

 

~jwrm22~

[Ginger_Warrior]

RS is mainly aimed at teenagers, yet everyone in the top positions seems to be in their twenties or above.

 

 

 

Stupid age limit on RuneScape!

 

 

 

Seriously, Pok̮̩̉̉mon is actually aimed at a mixture of both Pok̮̩̉̉mon fans, like myself, who grew up watching the series and continue to play the games, and the 'lil kiddies everyone seems to think it was made for. things like EV training, natures, egg moves and all that would completely elude younger kiddies. These systems are in place so that older people can use the game to compete with, and this keeps them entertained.

 

 

 

Pok̮̩̉̉mon may be a G rated game, but there's no way it can be said to be aimed at little kids. Especially considering little kids don't have money...

[heartless619]

well all i can say is...

 

no pokemon series will ever be as great or addictive then the first series.

 

long live 151 first pokemon..

 

i quit watching pokemon after the orange island league? with Tracy..

 

and then brock and misty started leaving...

 

that was some bs..

 

i remember watching Brock leave..i was getting teary eyed..

Lol, brock leaving? They got rid of that broad Misty and got new ones, like May, and the latest Dawn :roll: and Brock reappears in every season anyway. :lol:

 

 

 

@Ginger, I agree. Kid's don't have money, however they have parents who spoil them nevertheless...Oh, and the real dynamics of the game are what kids will never really understand (i.e., Ev training, breeding). In truth, Pokemon is just a huge math equation ready to be solved. Something kids won't ever see.

Omg i can relate to so much of that. How i miss those things like orgeon trail and the actually good cartoons not this midless crap that a baby monkey wouldnt even find amuseing. I still watch pinky and the brain and boy meets world. I think you just read my entire childhood memories.

 

I think we need to make a discusion about remmembering all the 90's fads. :P

 

 

 

Anyway why does it matter what the so called age limit on a game is. If you like it you can play it at any age you want. Unless your under age for it then i advise you not to.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.

 

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!![/hide]

 

 

 

LOL..I remember almost every bit of this as a kid. Heh, I remember whenever VCRs were the way to go...I remember having a big rack of VHS tapes (I still do)..I even remember whenever tapes were out and CDs were in (over here, anyways)...lol, the 90's were great. Dial-up internet was a gift, Windows 95 and 98 were some of the greatest things around...*sigh* makes me wish it wasn't 2007. I also remember the Pokemon craze, DBZ and DB craze, whenever some people got back into Magic the gathering..heh, I loved it.

 

 

 

Anyways...I don't get the people who say pokemon is a kids game and all. I personally dont like it. I still play it though. Why? It's an overall good and kind of fun RPG. I like how simple it was to learn..and then you still had to manage the entire party, it was just a fun game.

 

 

 

[hide=I totally agree]Almost forgot to quote this.

 

 

 

Dude, you're my hero. Everything you just said has reawakened the '90's me...Ren and stimpy...Pinky and the Brain...Doug...All good shows, you are right. Ice ice baby! Wow...Are you afraid of the dark...*Quivers with chills* I still remember the last show...Not vividly, enough to know that the small silver iron ball they had was part of a horse in a fair, and it was evil...Anyway! Goosebumps are still up on my bookshelf, DAMN PROUD OF IT!! I even read them still!

 

 

 

Let's not forget Disney's shows, like the weekenders, recess...Now Disney has Hanna montana and crap like that. I remember when Nick abandoned doug and disney took it in and extended the series...

 

 

 

It upsets me to think of the new shows, which tarnish the good name of Nick, Cartoon network...Disney...Nick's good shows were all of the game shows, like Legends of the hidden temple, when those games were AWESOME to go on and, at that time, exercise was popular amongst kids. I still watch that and Guts or whatever on my adelphia channel 154. :lol:

 

 

 

Then, also in nick, Rugrats, all of that...I loved Rugrats. Now, Nick has crap like danny phantom, cancelled shows like catscratch and My life as teenage robot...Wow there's a lot.Dexters lab, Jonny bravo, Courage the Cowardly dog!! Where'd everything go? What the hell is ben 10?

 

 

 

The only good modern day show that may match Hey Arnold! (BTW, have hey arnold tapes that I watch still!) or any other old show is Spongebob.

 

 

 

But, you're right, the 90's was awesome...Many Kids weren't fat and lazy, in fact, they were in shape, in fact everything you said is quite true...

 

 

 

Goosebumps! marathon is coming in CN...Can't wait...

 

 

 

And that's all I can say. Definatly off topic...[/hide]

 

 

 

The point beyond this is, pokemon was invented in the 90's, and it was popular for all ages of people. When it started to get technologically advanced, with DS and eventually Wii, from just an old game boy black and white...To think origins will always be the best...No matter what. Well, except old computers...They're slow. Like mine. Lags too much. :lol:

[Alg]

*remembers the '90s clearly*

 

 

 

even then, literally everyone liked pokemon, even for a little while. the ones that stayed with at least the games are the cool ones 8-)

[Ben1993]

[Orpheus]

[Err, list thingy]

 

I think I just got slammed in the face and into a wall by the biggest Nostalgia Hammer ever made by Man.

 

 

 

Tell me about it :roll: . But seriously, most of those things were simply awesome and so simple, yet so much fun. I still sometimes get out Oregon Trail and mess around when bored.

[Bloodredsword]

Nerd alert.

Stupid post alert.

 

 

 

 

 

+1 alert :anxious: :wall:

 

 

 

 

 

I agree with you. But it is targeted toward a younger audience. There are some aspects of it that could be said are more focused toward adults(such as all of the many ingame mechanics)

 

 

 

 

 

~!Brs

[PoorLepRecon]

Heartless, you made me remember all my old memories of the 90's. I was born in '92, so I grew up through most of that. I remember waking up every morning to watch cartoons, when pokemon was cool to play, and when hide and seek was the coolest game around. Makes you wish those days were back :(

 

 

 

But on topic, I don't think there should be an age limit on any game. Just because a game is being targeted to a certain audience, doesn't mean only that audience can enjoy it. Im 15 and I still enjoy the Pokemon games, though I just started to understand EV training and the mechanisms of breeding. I'm starting ot delve deeper into the game, finding a truly great game.
