Because it's a pure, untainted world. Where the bad are always punished.

It's an easy escape from a reality as dark as ours. It's very easy to become a hero in that world, to be who you want to be. Friends come so easy, adventure is right at your fingertips. As long as you believe? You prevail.

tl;dr, real life sucks.

It's an RPG that allows you to train unique monsters based or real animals and mythological creatures. Not only that but most of them visibly change as they get stronger and throughout the game you're told to treat them like pets, maybe even friends, so it's likely you'll develop small bonds and get favourites. What's not to like?

We liked it when we use to be kids and never grown out of it.
There was one point we pretended we didn't like it in high school because it was for kids.
But as soon we left high school, we liked it again.
High school was a strange place.

Growing up my mother was terminally ill. My brother and I spent a lot of time in hospital waiting rooms playing pokemon.

We ran into a lot of other kids with sick parents/family playing pokemon, we would always trade/battle.

I remember when pokemon yellow first came out, we still had our red/blues and ran into a kid with yellow and he happily let us watch him play for a couple hours. We were amazed by the graphics...they actually looked like the pokemon in the cartoon this time.

Basically every time mom got sick and we knew we were going to spend the night in the hospital and probably miss or be late for school the next day, at least we knew we got to spend all night playing pokemon. It was a little bit of sunshine for us in a dark time.

Also, Mom has passed now, but everytime I see a Jigglypuff I think about her because that's the only pokemon who's name she could remember.
