Has any one read the article in cube magazine called "i was an adult pokefan?"
Quote from cube: They look like humans! They talk like humans! But beneath the exterior lies a terriable secret! Society must shun their foul perversions for they are....the adult pokemon players!
While that is an ammusing opening paragraph to the article it definatly highlights the truth. It is social suicide for anyone over the age of 12 to be seen playing pokemon these days. I wasted many many hours of my life on the original games when it was most popular in 1999. Although the figures wud suggest that this isnt the case with over 1 million copies sold within the first week of fire and leaf going on sale.
It seems that with pokemon being one of nintendos key franchises and a profit making one to that it will still be around for the near future.So do any of you still play the games the core part of the pokemon franchise or do you shun the gamers that still play it?
