I'm pretty good at hiding the fact I play pokemon. I'm sure that gets some of you all panty wrinkled to know that I think playing pokemon is an embarassing secret that should be hidden.
It's because it really is. I still love the games despite that though, but the last time I got shit for playing pokemon was from my sisters.
They could get pretty mean. They'd chase me around with a stapler, tie me down to a chair and scream at me all night that I was going to be killed, they'd give me wedgies, dunk my hand in water while I slept to make me piss myself, burn my things in the backyard, throw my toys and games away in the trash and not tell anyone until it was too late.
One year my oldest sister threw away my copy of pokemon emerald that I had saved up for for about a month, and why did she throw it away you might be wondering? Because Pokemon is for babies, she would tell me. Over and over and over again they would both tell me. Pokemon is for babies. It was burned into my memory.
But now I'm moved out and live on my own and it's nice. But with gen 6 out I'm starting to kind of get over Pokemon. I think it was just how underwhelming this generation really is. X/Y feel like extremely short games, with hardly any new pokemon this time around too.
All of the features they hyped up, like Megas weren't that cool in the actual game and didn't really save the weakling pokemon they were given to. Just made the most powerful ones like t-tar and scizor even stronger.
