I still have the pikachu from pokemon yellow. I've traded it to my new game  every time they brought out a new version.

After pikachu I like charizard and meowth (gotta love a kitty that earns money by beating wild pokemon, payday FTW).

Gotta catch em all, well I got them all.
All 493 pokemon
From Bulbasaur to Aruces
Not just in Evolution but each one by themselves
If you want any of them tell me what your seeking and I'll trade it to you.
I'll be posting my team and my Trainer ID within the next few weeks.
Talk to you all later

Too many Legends? I don't think so... Although, they sure did introduce a lot of them this gen...

Carolyn, you haxxor.

They just add a new hierarchy of godliness every time. They all evolved from mew. . . but now they were all created by a pokegod. The land and sea were created by Kyogre and Groudon, but now space and time itself have a creator too.

Seriously, what's left to add?

Only half right, The Breed ones are legal, and so is The Araces I can think my Boyfriend for that one. And I do have the gba games legit as well, so yea, your only half right

Yes, I love the gameboy games. Bulbasaur is my fav.

Pokemon's an old friend of mine; since Yellow. I've gotten pretty into it.
I'm actually IV breeding a Staryu as I write this ^_^

My favorite has always been Clefairy. I totally understand the Team Galactic goons and their Clefairy obsessions... Though I like a lot of Pokemon, either for their cuteness or just for their sheer badassery (Gyarados, anyone?)

I will also agree with the 'how will they top gods?' sentiment; I just don't see how they'll get better than the creator of the universe. I remember when Mewtwo used to be the most terrifically unbalanced one....

Which leads me to wonder how the heck you would be able to catch Arceus anyway. Shouldn't it just be able to go "You don't exist." and then poof, Trainer's gone?

Unless it wants you to catch it, perhaps? Just a thought.

I'm pretty sure all of the legendaries want you to catch them. It's the only way it makes sense.

For a couple of legendarys, they say that they are "Testing" you, and when you capture a legendary, it's because they let you capture them because they find you worthy.

I think it was either Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Groudon, or Kyogre that had that backstory...

I don't remember which.

Also, I believe that's why they only produce a handful of Masterballs in the games, they don't want to take away pokemon's will to choose... Otherwise, it's kidnapping...

Yeah, Giratina is testing you, or so I seem to recall Cynthia saying.
Dialga/Palkia might want to be caught; their catch rate is ten times that of a normal legendary...
They were having a really bad day, though.

A shame their power is suppressed by the Pokeball. I wanted to mess with space-time. 

The only legendaries I ever got were Ho-Oh and Suicuine (sp?). Old school for the win! 

Bought Red the day it came out.  Collected all 151... then my friend "borrowed" my game and when he gave it back he had erased my save file and blamed it on his siter *sigh*.  I also played Yellow (bleh) and Silver.  I stopped playing after Silver.  Then Leaf Green and Fire Red came out.  So I bought Leaf Green YAY now I can play as a girl! and still have my fave of all tiem CHARIZARD.  Then my brother convinced me to get Diamond.  I liked it alot, I didn't collect all the pokemon but I did get all the Legendaries (including Arceus and that cute lil' Plant hedgehog what's it name?) but I've lost Diamond somewhere   So now I only have Leaf Green and the original red... but Red's internal battery has run out so the save function doesn't work.

Actually, I've heard that the more technical term is "dorkgasm" 

So not gonna lie, I'm looking forward to HeartGold and SoulSilver, to play through Johto and Kanto again.

The games need to have more than one region, which is why I loved those ones so much.

Anybody do that pikachu-color pichu/spiky ear pichu deal? Are they any different from normal pichu (besides appearance)?

They (the off-color/spike-eared Pichus) can't evolve, I hear. I have little idea about the rest of it, though...

With HeartGold, I can finally get the last of the blasted things and finish the Pokedex off myself (at least until the next wave arrives  ). I only need the Johto starters (minus Chikorita) and Entei/Raikou/Suicune. Technically I could get them now, but that requires repeated playthroughs of Emerald and LeafGreen that I'd really rather not do.

5th gen? I'm both excited and dismayed; I've been with this too long to quit, and I'll look a little odd when I'm 85 and still playing...

On the other hand, I'll have all 75,618 Pokemon in existence at the time, which will take the kids years to collect from zero. ^_^

I'm a Pokemon old schooler. I can probably name all 150 of the original pokemon (plus mew) but I'd get lost trying to memorize all these newfangled pokemon that keep getting added to the roster. Anyway, my main Pokemon roster looked something like this, if I can recall:

Pikachu
Chansey
Blastoise
Vileplume
Ditto
Flareon

Mewtwo would sometimes be in there as well, because of it's sheer wow factor.

It was big when i was a kid in the 90s. i had a bunch of the cards (and they are still floating around somewhere) and played it on gameboy up until the silver/gold ( i had silver!). after that i guess i grew out of it, and it was changing too much. i liked the original silver/gold and before. One of my favourite pokemon was Cubone. his story was just so sad and on the card i had of him he was crying at night by himself and i thought it was so heartbreaking and i wanted to help him ^ ^
