If you didn’t know, I am a big
Pokemon fan. However Pokemon has started to lose its luster. Pokemon is an RPG
that gained popularity in Japan and other areas of the world in the late 90s. I’m
going to focus primarily on the Video games, even though there is a TV show and
card game.
Pokemon is
an RPG(Role Playing Game). You play as a young boy(or girl in newer ones). Your
character doesn’t fight or get stronger, instead Pokemon fight your battles. They
have different types such as Fire, Water, Electric, Rock, Psychic, and a few
more. They also learn moves that have different elemental types. You basically
just train them and try to beat Gym Leaders, which are bosses. Then you
challenge the Elite 4 which are like the final boss. In the first Pokemon
versions, Red, Blue, and Yellow; you had to fight your rival at the end of the
game.
I really
loved Pokemon as a kid. I remember playin the games on the Gameboy Color. Later
Pokemon Gold and Silver came out, which are considered to be the ultimate
version of Pokemon(especially their remakes on the Nintendo DS). I would play
Pokemon for hours on end. I was never really one to catch them all, but I wanted
to be the best trainer I could be.
Pokemon
Stadium 1 and 2 for the N64 were great ideas. The games were very challenging,
pushing your skills and pokemon to the limit. The 3d graphics were awesome and
there was plenty of trainers to beat…That announcer in P.S. 1 was rather
annoying however.
Lately
Pokemon has lost a lot of luster. I don’t know if its my age, being over 25 now
or maybe the new games aren’t as difficult as they were in the past. I am
currently trying to beat Pokemon Y. I have had it for about 2 years. Yikes!
Anyways thanks for reading. I will make more video game blogs in the future.
