when did you stop buying mainline pokemon games?
When did you stop buying mainline pokemon games?
I never bought a single one.
I didn't even know pokemon was a game by the time i started pirating roms for GBA.
I never bought any of them.
Black 1.
PMD was always better anyways.
ah, I should've put more in the OP:
I extensively played gens 1, 2, 3, and D/P; it was cool during gen 1 at least, then I still had fun with it during gen 2 and 3 and D/P pretty much by myself
then HG/SS came out and it suddenly became popular in high school, and presumably also at most first-world schools and colleges; I never boughtor played that one myself, but I also don't know why it got as popular as it did in the first place unless it was knowing that the worldbuilding was good combined with good and new features gen 3-4 pokemon and alot of content, even if they'd already done it before
then I bought a gen 5 game, tried to immerse myself in the story, and then at some point before E4 it just felt like I wanted to get it over with
perhaps the only hard part of the game was the cult leader's hydreigon, then after I beat the story I just put the game down and never bought another mainline game again
Also
Just look at brock's outfit if you need anything that obvious
We have a thread.
It was always a long held tradition that I would get one version and my brother would get the other of a given generation
We stopped around gen V after we became old and jaded
I've only bought Soul Silver.
