>>32226162To honor a deceased friend who absolutely loved pokemon (wanted a pokemon themed wedding).
Regardless of what anybody says, I find all the games equally enjoyable.
Like
>>32226366 said, the music sometimes sticks in your head (vs rival BW, champion theme 4th and 6th gen)
It helps keep me somewhat sane in a world that gets more and more fucked up every day.
Victini.
Weavile.
It's something that keeps my friends and I connected in one way or another.
The fan base is more tolerable than League of Legends, Overwatch, or other games where there is forced interaction with potentially toxic players that suck the fun out of it.
It pisses PETA off (much like the quest in WoW where you blow up mammoths with dynamite).
Sometimes I want to play a game where death is not commonplace.
Again like
>>32226366 said, pokegirls. A lot of them are so cute you want to hug them.
Meloetta.
It's many times better than digimon.
I still have my 1st Edition Machamp and Mewtwo cards. Had to trade for literally the same Machamp 3 times because it got stolen twice.
Much like other games, It helps me forget the massive amount of debt I've been forced to build up because of broken promises of work.
I'm out of stamina in final fantasy record keeper.
Blizzard game server maintenance.
I can't afford a Nintendo Switch.
Gardevoir.
Hilda's ass.
The plethora of fan art out there, much of which makes for amazing desktop wallpapers (chandelure + gardevoir fusion).
It helps keep my in head math skills somewhat sharp (figuring base attack, stab, and weakness bonuses or penalties to get AP equivalent).
It can be the best conversation starter. I've made several friends because of the games.
Despite them getting easier over the years, it's still one of the more potentially challenging games I play (baby runs, nuzlocke, etc).
There's a lot of fun bits of merchandise that brighten up an otherwise gloomy day just by looking at it.
