Is it sad to know this one by heart? As well as
This and
This?
I think you were all expecting me to reply to this. So I'll do.
First, before anyone start a rant on Pokémon, I'd like you to read these articles:
http://www.dragonflycave.com/aapdead.aspx - Is Pokémon dead?
http://www.dragonflycave.com/aapwhy.aspx - Why do we like it?
http://www.dragonflycave.com/aapchildish.aspx - Pokémon - childish?
There you go.
Well, I have never actually collected the cards. Bought the occassional pack, yes, but never played or collected them. If I do, it's for the designs, I like drawing them (see my Facebook profile for example). Many Pokémon have totally badass designs, others are cute, some are LOL, etc.
The games are great. See the topic in General Polls on which games I prefer, if you want to.
The battle system is ACE. When you realise the depth of it, it makes chess a tad simple (hmm... that's part of the charm with chess, that anyone can play it in no time, but nevermind). There are
Entire websites dedicated to the strategies and community of competitive Pokémon battling. Believe me, the time when Mewtwo was the best one around is over. He still rocks, ranked among the highest, but can be mashed to a pulp by other Pokémon these days.
My favourites are too many to list here. I have a fair few from each of the 17 types, and a list would be too much ado and too few would read it.
Then there's the music. If you like it, search YouTube (or ask me, I'll provide some links). If you play Piano and like the music, check out

Last, if anyone likes Pokémon, and reading long posts, I'll ask you to have a look at this. Enjoy:
