    Never played the pokemon tcg or watched the show. I have played the shit out of the vidya games, though.

    I played the pokemon tcg with someone else's cards once

    it was shit and I went back to magic, then gave up on that within 6 months when I realised how retardedly expensive it was

    You cannot imply that those mere pieces of plastic can compare to an electricity-generating mouse fighting a fire-breathing salamander.

    I refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of such a claim.

    Pokemon as a game and trading card game is just plain awesome.

    Pokemon as a show is god fucking awful, devoid of ANY content, and just plain embarrassing.

    If you can derive any entertainment from that tripe you need to take off your rose colored glasses

    The first three seasons were pretty good as entertainment for kids, and I don't mind going back to watch them every once in a while.

    But yeah, the anime can't really compare to the games/TCG.

    EDIT: Though the TCG was confusing as shit. Seriously, eight-year-olds can barely understand basic math, how are they supposed to understand Energy tokens?

    I played Yugioh well into my teens, but it was just for fun when I skipped I.T.

    I tried getting into the TCG, but the guys who played it regularly were way too fucking good.

    I actually owe those guys a thank you in hindsight.

    Yeah, they do.

    That reminds me, Super Star Wars...

    I could never get past Dagobah in The Empire Strikes Back.

    I'd always ask my parents for help, but I'm pretty sure they had no idea what they were doing.

    Then there was Contra, which I would always play co-op with my aunt, but we had to always use the 30 lives glitch.

    On that subject, fuck the Laser Mines. You might as well just throw five of your lives down the toilet, and move on.

    I'm more joking than arguing really.

    Honestly, I don't remember Monsters In My Pocket all that well. Probably because I was too little to even know what it was about.

    when i was a kid i was desperately addicted to this

    Ancestral20Trail20Covers2012.jpg

    it was a magazine-style fantasy epic with an intense story and wicked illustrations, along with cards that you could compete with later on

    i wish i knew where my old copies were but they were surely thrown out

    I only really remember this succession of popular toys when I was a kid:

    GI Joes
    Ninja Turtles
    Trolls
    Pogs
    X-men
    Power Rangers
    Beanie babies

    I'm not really sure about anything in between any of those, but I stopped watching kid's channels in 3rd grade or so, and only really cared about Ninja Turtles and Star Wars as a kid. I bet if I asked people I grew up with they would remember Monsters in My Pocket.

    Seriously, monsters should not have about 20 evolutionary forms.

    When you have to start prefixing a monster's name with some obscure adjective, you've gone too far.

    If anything I'll whine about how the original characters turned into complete asswipes when they grew up.

    No, Kai, shut up, stop being responsible, and go tell Agumon to turn into Greymon, and smash the complete shit out of some buildings.

    For super nostalgia: Saturday morning cartoons

    Escape Velocity, Mechwarrior 3, MUDs

    Pokemon. I would kill a man to get the feeling back from the first games, not knowing what the pokemon were or why catching them involved vacuums. Also thinking teaching your charmander cut was a good idea

    The move is called Cut.

    It should be safe to assume that it should do more than 2 points of fucking damage.
