Dude...I never wanted to do that. And Pokemon was just a dumb west coast fad (lucky for me I was in Texas at the time, who only got affected by "Magic: The Gathering", which wasnt nearly as bad as the Pokemon Vi--I mean card game)...

I've always viewed pokemon as a marketing gimmick.

He is so fat because he ate 10000 burgerking burgers so that he could get the pokemon prizes.

Im not fat and I am american... if you insult your country, there is no point to living in it, is there (it is a joke, but still. Christ sake, only 55% of the country is obese)

XD Im pretty skinny too, Im American. Ive never seen someone so fat as the people I see everyday in America, from another country.

In German class my teacher was telling us about this grand square where Hitler made on of his speeches. He said the place held like 100,000 people or something crazy like that. Then I said "Germans or Americans?" haha The sad thing is there would probably be a substantial difference...

The original pokemon games for game boy - up to gray / silver - were genius in my opinion.

Holy sh#t... I was a pokemon addict once, but that's just insane...

I played one game on yellow for 128 hours... That’s my record, but I have a friend who at one point got 300+. But that was all long long ago. I'd have to say the best ones were gold and silver. They had the largest area, a world that had scheduled events and a day and night cycle, and the best story in my opinion. It also have they most and the awesomest pokemon. It had the most classes, and so on. When the gameboy advance ones came out, it was a total letdown. The graphics were way lower than anyone expected, and it had less features than gold and silver.
I think the reason pokemon was so awesome was because it was a truly unique rpg design, and even though the story was short, beating the game and trying to raise them all to lv100 was more than addicting, it was an obsession.

I wish someone would realize that implementing the same basic structure into a less kiddy game would be a huge hit. I want to play another game like it, but the problem is the new ones are just too cute. I liked it better when the games actually had evil people in them. I really hated how in the new ones your rival was supposed to be your best friend.

And America is definitely the fattest country in the world. Don't like over 50% of us have diabetes or something? I'm not fat, but man do I know a lot of fat people.

I liked crystal the best , i just thought how it was a rip off that they killed all the cool areas in the game like the safari zone and cerulean cave. i really miss those places. the tm set was questionable too but its cool that you can get your pokemon to do moves like flamethrower in crystal. i play pokemon crystal on an emulator and I beat the pokemon league all the time with just my lvl 65 tyranitar knowing
flamethrower (for those stray grass pokemon) ,rock slide (for the ice pokemon), crunch and earthquake

and yes the us is one of the fattest laziest nations i know. Most of my family is fat, Its me and my younger brother that avoided the roundness but the other 6 are overweight, or quickly getting there.

Unfortunately, when that kid grows out of pokemon, they're going to have a very hard time getting rid of all that merch.

Funny, sad, and old story of my own during the Pokemon times...

I was about 7, and I had played the card game for a while(can't even remember how anymore ), and I had a great deck built, that at one point could have gone for at least a few hundred on ebay just off of collectors value. Sad part is, I traded all of them for this tight GT Bike frame(I had wheels and such for it), which turned out to be stolen. SO I was made to give it back, and never got my high value cards back....

Pokemon was after my time--- the thing that was "the craze" when I was a kid was pogs. Pogs! Pogs! Collect them all! Pretty soon the schools banned them and the craze died, never to resurface.

We had Marbles when I was a lad. It was incredibly popular, every lunch time everyone in the school would migrate down to the oval to play marbles. It actually seems quite bizarre when I think about it now, I don't know what a passer-by would think when he saw some thousand or so students on their hands and knees, flicking at the grass. We also had Yo-Yo's for a brief while, although I'm not entirely sure it took off down here.

The fat kid is clearly a girl and the vid is pure yawn-fodder. I'm getting more amazed every day at the crap people watch on the internet in an attempt to add variety to the dullness of surfing !

Btw ... how do you get 100 peekachoos on a bus? You pokemon. And uhh ... why don't you have a shower when a pokemon is around? Because he'll peekachoo!

Ahem ... sorry.

Well, our company does quite a lot of travelling to the US (I tended to go the other way for some reason), and if it's one thing you hear from people chatting about leisure time (and this includes friends on holiday) is how bloody amazingly large all the food is. Like you would get away with like a quarter of the portion in the UK and still be full. Plus the ratio of gannets is amazingly high. Porktown basically. Don't get me wrong, we aren't exactly skinny superfittos over here (and I could do with losing a couple of pounds myself), but it does seem to be a repeating theme when you listen to people's holiday experiences. Not that you want to hear any of their stories obviously.

Cheers

aww thats awesome. That kid plainly sucks, but I like all the toys, and the guitar is plainly the coolest gguitar in the world except for the entirely seethru perspex one I used to own before I sold it

I want my photo taken with Jessie and Meowth!

Pkemon IS a marketting thing, but its a good marketting thing done well. I'd have hated it if it existed jjust to force kids to collect ALL the cuddly toys or figures at at least a fiver each, but as it stood it existed because of the games, which were around in japan LONG before the tv show.

Pokemon Red and Blue (or green in japan) are some of the best designed and well balanced turnbased rpgs out there, and teh way you had to share and swap htem with your friends (for free) was a pretty cool idea. Of course the whole thing got out of control and later versions of the games weren't as good, they just kept making more and more mosters to make people buy more and more toys etc. But at the heart of it, the first games ROCKED. And putting them into an N64 and seeing your lil monsters in 3d was just too cool for words.

Ok I'm gonna stop now before I start to sound like that little kid - it scared me!

@Jeku I remember pogs, there must have been thousands to collect, I don't know what happened to all mine but it would be great to find them, just for memories sake.

I always wanted to be able to collect loads of pokemon cards but I never had enough money, at the time most of it would have gone on N64 magazines and games. I bought the first box set (the blue one) but didn't go and spend all my money on the individual packets but I know plenty of people that did, one of my mates had an amazing number of the things. I had pokemon blue and at the time it was amazing the amount of people I talked to who thought pokemon started with the trading cards, not the game.

I remember Pogs, I was pretty little so i didnt have any massive collection but i did have about 50 or 60. Marbles I only got with crapy goody bags at birthday partys. My friends dad collects baseball cards and has an eBay thing going on. He bought my brothers car with one card selling on eBay. Autographed michael jordan jersey card i think it was. So of course whenever something like pokemon or yughio came around they were buying boxes and boxes just because it was a lifetime hobby. But hey I got all the doubles XD.


EDIT: Just realized that this kid made up different lyrics to the song. YES I KNOW HE WHOLE SONG thats not how it goes! What a little songwriter

I think the words are different because its the song from a different series - my son watches it on sky and I noticed the different series have different songs, characters, mosters etc. presumably to go with the new games - I don't really know as I said I lost interest after the first lot

Ah man, we had the Pogs, and the Marbles, and the short Yo-Yo crazes aswell...

I wonder if someone could develop a machine that erases the past.

We had the pokemon fad. I was one of the smart ones. I bought and resold the cards at school, making tons of money. Woo! We had the YoYo fad as well. Some kids got into Magic, not me though. Of course, there was the skateboarding fad where everyone had to have a skateboard. I guess you have to have those fads, because some kids stick with them, and it sort of divides you into social groups....

Gah, I bought an iPod and everyone ragged on me for following a fad. Horrible. So know I bring my dinky old mp3 player to work, or a cd player. Fads are horrible things that can ruin countries.

I never did like magic, but i bought pokemon and pogs! they dont mean much now, but think of the rush you got as a kid opening them up and finding what new one you had. that's priceless.

hmm, that fat kid makes me want a full english breakfast. anyone know where you would find that in the us?
