How many people here play Pokémon, or have played it? I recently got Black. I did not expect this to mean that it would contain a TV show hosted by Kuro.  EDIT: Games I've played Blue Stadium Silver Crystal (partly) Stadium 2 Emerald Pearl Platinum (partly) Black (partly) |

The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

Played every generation thoroughly except V. Have now moved on to hacks (especially Touhoumon) instead. Should get back to playing that.

Played Blue, Yellow, Stadium, Gold, Crystal, Stadium 2, Sapphire, Emerald, LeafGreen, Diamond, and HeartGold. I may pick up one of the new games at some point, but hey. I'm a busy man.  While we're on the subject, Overclocked did a remix album for the series, at least the first two generations. It's worth a listen if you're interested. |

I got White version the day it came out, and have enjoyed it since then. There's just one little problem in my eyes:  I HATE THIS SQUIRREL! |

Currently heading into Pinwheel Forest with this team: Panpour lv16 Audino lv17 Sawk lv17 Blitzle lv17 Munna lv17 Servine lv18 (I was this close to naming it Smugleaf) Side-note: This thing cracks me up. :< |

Pokemon was actualy the reason I first got a gameboy. Played red, blue, silver, gold, saphire, ruby and the two first stadiums, but kinda lost interest in saphire/ruby as I felt they had removed several good parts from the two previous titles (also the elite 4 geting weaker and weaker didn't help much). Altough less time to play video games may have played a part also. Or perhaps this Anyway great series and plenty of fond memories. Still follow it around, and will one day finish Touhoumon once I recover from the shock of my starting Marisa geting a random trait that reduces her magic attack and only noticing it after investing several hours of hard training. I always tought the traits were just for fluff! |

Though they're still pretty easy, as all the games are, they have some of the most challenging Elite 4 in all the games in my opinion, and after you complete the post-game "plot" you can fight them again with massively buffed mons. |

In DPP, Champion Cynthia is infamous for having maxed IVs on all her mons. If you're not up to speed, that means... you know how stats vary between individual members of a species? Cynthia's Pokémon have max stats in everything. Also she has Garchomp, the one non-legendary mon to be banned from tournaments. As for the strip, that's why everyone chooses Smugleaf. Though that guy eventually evolves into a samurai walrus thing, so it evens out. |

I don't get why people hate on Tepig though. He's bacon that cooks itself!

So far I've played blue, yellow, silver, gold, sapphire, ruby and Stadium. Haven't tried fourth and fifth gen due to my financial situation.
Alakazam will forever be the best pokémon ever...

Alakazam will forever be the best pokémon ever... Except that now everything knows powerful Bug, Ghost and Dark-type moves, and it's possible to be doubly-resistant to Psychic. And he's still powerful. |

Mmm let's see I have played... Red, Blue and yellow, then for some reason I didn't play Gold Silver or Crystal, then the complete set of the third generation and I got Diamond and Platinum; but my DS (with my Platinum) got stolen before I could get Soul Silver or White version and I haven't bought a new one yet.
Played Stadium 1 and 2, and Coliseum.
Now I mostly play on Pokemon Online or an emerald emulator where they REALLY buffed up the challenge; my mons are in the 45-50 range and the Elite four are on 65-70 range...

Figured my Grass starter would be screwed against a Bug-type Gym Leader, so I caught a Darukama on Route 4 and raised it up to lv20. Turned out to be unnecessary since I curbstomped the guy, but Darumaka is a pretty nice mon and has taken Panpour's place on my team for now. Also, Audino is turning out to have decent damage output with Secret Power to match its defences (and Attract + Secret Power's secondary effects let it disable enemies).
Audino lv21 (Scope Lens) Regenerator - Secret Power/Attract/Helping Hand/Refresh
Blitzle lv21 (Eviolite) Lightningrod - Flame Charge/Thunder Wave/Charge/Shock Wave
Munna lv21 (Quick Claw) Synchronize - Psybeam/Defense Curl/Moonlight/Hypnosis
Servine lv21 (Miracle Seed) Overgrow - Tackle/Growth/Leech Seed/Leaf Tornado
Sawk lv21 Sturdy - Counter/Low Sweep/Bide/Focus Energy
Darumaka lv22 Hustle - Thief/Facade/Fire Punch/Headbutt
