What kind of game do you think Pokemon is? Or is it more than a game? I'm not interested in WHY you play, but I am interested in what goes through your mind when playing it. What do you think you're doing? If you're into Pokemon for a different reason, then what is that reason? If it's for a different medium, then why did you choose that medium? What feeling does it give you? I am including the realm of fanfiction into this. Maybe you think you have a different reason, I still want to know what it is and why.

My reason for asking? I don't think people like Pokemon for the reasons they say they do, or if they even really like Pokemon at all.
