I've watched the anime before I actually played the games but my first one was Pokemon Ruby. Pretty spiffy. Oh, and anyone getting the newest ones for the Nintendo DS-- Diamond and Pearl? If so, any team you're planning to train when you get it? :D
EDIT: Snaps, I noticed there's an old Pokemon thread. Is it okay to start a new one....?

I started out on the old school Red Version, then when I got Yellow Version I decided that I didn't need Red any more. Though I never could get the Missingno glitch to work in Yellow. =/
Then I got Gold Version, then Crystal, then Ruby (my brother got the opposite versions so that we could trade). I never got Emerald and I slightly regret it, but I do have Firered Version, which is an excellent remake, I say. Though I was hoping that Deoxys wouldn't have to be unlocked. =/
My favorite critters are (in order)
Scyther
Nincada, Ninjask, and Shedinja (ninja bugs for the win!)
Magikarp (and yes, I did buy the Magikarp from the guy at the begining of Firered)
Tauros
Feraligatr
Machoke
As far as legendaries go, I will always love Articuno.
And I plan to get Pearl version when it comes out.
I'm more confused than Wellington with a bunch of bananas.

I certainly don't like how often power-leveling is required, though.

I still do to a point, it is no longer an obsession. I have Emerald and before Spectrobes came out [Disney Version of Pokemon, basically] I had played that. But moving on, I pre-ordered both Diamond and Pearl. It's something to do, and Pokemon isn't as bad as some people say it is. Still fun, though level grinding isn't too much fun.

I have both Diamond and Pearl pre-ordered and I can't wait to get them. I can't wait to get another JigglyPuff once again.

The other N64 games weren't so bad either. Stadium? I loved the mini-games that thing had. The Scyther Chop thing. Chansey Dodge Bomb whatever. I can't remember the names but I'm sure you realize what I'm talking about if you've played.

Pokemon the anime = fail
Here is a synopsis of just about every episode of the anime:
Ash: Wow! This place looks nice!
Brock: Let's have a picnic!
*picnic commences*
Team Rocket: *motto*
TR: Hah! Now we'll capture the same stupid pokemon with some very expensive technology even though we're probably millions of dollars in debt!
Ash: Pikachu! Thundershock/Thunderbolt/Thunder!
TR: *Explodes for no reason, or a weak reason* We're blasting off agaaaaaain!
*Group continues on their journey... which really seems to have lost its purpose*

And while there were side stories, my above post is tha basic plot of about 80% of the episodes.

I don't know which end is up with Team Rocket. They always seem to be caught on the ass end of an ass kicking. I don't think I've seen them ever do something right. That not only goes for Jessi and James but the other groups too. I think the only other one you see is Butch and Cassidy.
I have no doubts that there was a pokemon episode creator. Just pick a new pokemon, choose which sort of expensive machine Team Rocket appears with, which electric attack pikachu owns them with, and finally some sort of lesson to tie up the thing.

Oh, wow. How do you do it? I've read guides, but ...I have no patience for that EV training, even though I've tried. It's just too much for me.Maybe I'll try once again when I get Diamond.

DarkFlood ... bravo! That was brilliant though occasionally there were side stories in which the group would help/save/rescue a pokemon. It would also include then, a Brock love moment with either Jenny/Joy, followed by some awkward Misty/Ash. xD
*Laugh* I know, the anime is awful. But despite that, I'm still going to watch it...kind of hard to explain. It's kinda like a love/hate relationship with that anime. I just want to see what happens, you know? I mean, the D/P series is soon and I want to get to know the new female lead.
You know what else? I think Pikachu should at least be at level 70's because that thing beats the crap out of Team Rocket almost every day. He should have like gained a million of experience points. Srsly, that thing can prolly go mug some people. *Shot* Only if Ash had a criminal mind...
Well, the manga is awesome, trust me. It's owns the anime so much that the series should be still translated. Dang VIZ. *Twitch* But anyways, this is like... a videogame chat. So, whoops. D: Got a bit carried away.
Anyways, these are my favorite Pokemon.
Blaziken, Quilava, Gardevoir, Swellow, Vaporeon, Lapras, Pichu, Salamence... well gee, I have alot but I don't remember them. Anyways, I really love my Blaziken-- he's powerful~~ (although, compared to other trainers-- I prolly will get my butt kicked)

Makes sense. Pikachu should be at some high level, but so much of that show doesn't make sense. Makes your head spin sometimes.
I have a couple of the old pokemon comics. Those we pretty cool! I have I think the first and second series that were made but that's all. If I weren't so lazy I could scan one of them in or something.
I like a lot of different pokemon but one of my favorites has to be Cyndaquil and all his evolutions. I love that little fireball to death. <3

Hahaha, that's funny. I bet the principal and teachers are all like "Arghh, stop battling each other in the middle of a class!" or something. Too bad it ended up being banned. :[
Indeed, it's like Ash starts new every time he goes to a new region. oO
Cyndaquil is full of love. <3 That thing is just too cute. Plus, Flame Wheel is neat. <_< >_>

I'll probably do the same thing I've done in just about every main game since the days of Red and Blue, which is trade over each starter until I have all three in each version of the game before getting started.
My team usually consists of Pokémon with two types, to cover my bases. While it might be something of a weakness, it does help quite a bit sometimes. The better the variety, the better. Nidoking, Medicham and Scizor have been regulars since Gold/Silver.

Perhaps I'll do that starter thing this time around. Very good idea. Pokemon comes out the 22nd and I want it now. Curse this conversation!

... *Facepalm.* I must have been one of the only people who never realized you could do that. xD; I feel like an idiot now. I just went through the game with the one starter ... with the exception of Yellow Version which you were able to get all the initial starters from Red and Blue.
Yeah, Yellow was the exception, since you could get all three Kanto starters there. I've heard that in later games some players would breed the traded starters, then release the originals. A way to make them yours, rather than just traded from a now-nonexistant file.

Maybe I'm just used to RPGs with deep, cliche storylines, but I really think that Pokemon could have something more than training to be the best while taking out your rival and an evil mob. XD
I mean seriously, as far as I can remember, the only thing that could count as a plot twist was, in the original games, finding out that the leader of Team Rocket was also the last Gym Leader (sorry I can't remember what town it was. Viridian I think).
...And Team Rocket/Team Magma/Team Aqua/Team etc. never seem to try hard enough. If they want to be criminals, they can take more extreme approaches. >=D
Sorry if I just sound like a very dark-hearted detective. I know Pokemon is more family-oriented. *sigh*

LMFAO. Actually, I think that's something one of my friends would do.
Huuum, I'm going with Piplup with my starter because it's cute. And I tend to like Water types. Although, Torchic and Quilava were the exception when it came to starters but I like water Pokemon. XD
Dude, have you guys noticed that a little kid can beat the crap out of evil organizations yet other adults can't? XD Why not let the kid rule the world, huh?
And I agree that Pokemon games need a different plot. Maybe your rival can be an evil leader. *Points above sentences*

But yeah, going back to the lack of plot. It is the same thing over and over and over and over ... and over again. New thing is the location and the pokemon. That's about it though. It'd be cool if there were some variation in the story. x3

" Playing it through, there's just so much you can do. It's amazing.I pre-ordered Diamond. The stylus isn't anything special but it's my baby and I luvs it. For all I care, they can make keep making these games for as long as they like, I'll still be playing them when I'm forty.
On the anime... yeah. It's monotone. It's continous. It's repetitous. BUT I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT. I'm such a friggin' geek.

Yeah, That's basically what happens when you bet the Elite # and become the Pokemon Champion. And when you do finally get some power, you really can't do anything with it. The best you can do at this is like commit suicide with your character by reseting the game and start over again.

Ah, Groudon, my gaint land-lobster friend. Oh course, I've always loved Kyogre of Groudon. Same with all the other trios. I've always prefered the blue ones over the other two.
Suicune is my favorite trio pokemon, cus she's pretty. ehe
And Jirachi is my favorite little legendary, cus she's cute~ I do think of both Celebi and Jirachi as girls, but Mew has to be a male because Mewtwo is a male.
