Re: What is this board for?
Heck, I remember when everyone is skool was definetely into Pokemon. Always talking about it, trading kards, play it together, etc. Now, it is hard to find "decent" players around here and nowadays (due to hackers and such). Good times.. now gone. Thanks to the shooting games (whom I find extremely boring except for Metroid).

Old School
I am what you could consider an "old schooler" since I've only played Generation I&II games. I recently renewed my interest in playing pokemon and watching the old episodes (Season I, of course!).
My username is based on my love for Grass- and Fire-type pokemon. In addition to those two types, I've always been a fan of Eevee and its eevolutions. |

I remember when all life was, was collecting pokemon cards. Now sadly at my school you don't have very many friends if you like pokemon but, my friends are real friends so they listen to me and respect me when I talk about pokemon. I have though, found a few other people who secretly love pokemon and then there is my friend whom I've known since I was 4 and all we talk about is pokemon.

Well, let's see how life rolled for me...
Elementary School: If you did not talk about pokemon or digimon or any monster or Nintendo series, you were isolated. Middle School: If you did talk about pokemon or digimon or any monster or Nintendo series, you were isolated. High School: If you are a freshman-sophomore, you were isolated for talking about any of the above. If you are a junior-senior, you were not isolated for talking about any of the above. My expectations for college from accounts from others? See Elementary School. |

Also, during dinner, I pulled out Pokémon guides a few times. Guess who got a few positive comments? |

So it'll get better? For me it's quite the opposite. If you're caught playing/talking/anything else about Pokemon you're regarded as one of 'the nerds'. And that means you get bullied. Because that's how people socialise at high school.

Yes. Think about it, most of the people who do the bullying are idiots who don't give a flip about anything (like education) so there is no way they will be in college. And usually by then most people have matured and they don't have to resort to childish name calling. Seriously though, I have yet to see anyone on my campus who acted like a complete Bidoof and almost everyone there seems to act nice to one another.

I must be blind or something. I've only ever seen five DS's on campus in my three years of college. One of them was my own. Only one (not including my own) was being used to play pokemon. One of my friends that goes to college elsewhere says there are a bunch of people he knows that play pokemon. Maybe I just live in an area that's not too enthusiastic about pokemon.
I tend to agree, though, that all of the dunderheads that make fun of you in high school don't make it to college. |

My first encounter with Pokemon was when the Tentacruel episode first aired. From there on I fell in love with Pokemon!
I recall playing Yellow version a lot, as well as Gold. Those were good times. It's funny because HGSS is essentially a fusion of those two games, what with Pokemon walking around with you. |

i can still remember getting the foil charizard in front of the store and...ordering a japanese ancient mew off QVC (well my dad getting it). And I still remember memorizing the poke raps while playing blue...which thanks to the missingo item trick made me never realize how rare ethers and pp ups were
