How do you feel about Pokémon overall? Are you still a passionate fan? or are you starting to drift away from it?

I still love the Pokémon themselves.
I have mixed feelings about the lore/world, I like it but I also think it has a lot of wasted potential.
I could take or leave the games.

Haven't played a pokemon game in like ten years and I didn't play much before so I'm not too connected to it, but connected enough to still be nostalgic for the world and monsters and go here for fanart and see what its consumers are still bitching about

I'm reigniting interest because of ROM hacks (mainly GBA).
I plan to play every romhacks for each generation's region.
For FR, Radical Red seems to be a good choice. GS Chronicles for HG (if completed), and Emerald Enhanced.
I wish someone remaked Platinum and BW on GBA someday.

I was starting to drift away until GO came around and I've stuck close since. for context my first game was Crystal so I've been here a while

it's not sad to see "the state of Pokemon" because it's just been like this since day 1, it's only that 3D lets the issues shine brighter and uglier than ever

I plan to stick with the franchise moving forward, as long as they stay away from shit like NFTs

the monster designs and the music are probably my favorite part about the series. the games on the other hand are just ehhh relative to most other jrpgs. the choices between mons hardly seems to matter, if anything ya get punished trying to keep a full team. and for those who care for 'bros', well wouldn't it be best to actually have characters you can care for rather than infinite sprites found anywhere on a screen? idk the concept of the games really does seem quite nice, like imagine playing in the world of metroid and letting you recruit and use all the monsters there, that'd be awesome, but here it just seems like a waste.

I drifted away a long time ago, I can't really sit through a sub par rpg and fund more than a little enjoyment. That being said I still enjoy following Pokemon (I am on vp for a reason), reactions to Pokemon games and the competitive scene are still fun to follow and I will probs pick up Arceus because it actually looks fun for once.

I actually stopped playing for about 6 years or so after gen 4. These days I still like the games but I'm more in it for the actual Pokemon more than the games themselves

After replaying gens 3-5, I can confidently say these are very good games and it's not just nostalgia. Especially in 4 and 5, it feels like there's just an endless amount of things to do. 6 onward is hit or miss, but none of them are less than just okay. I'd never pay full price for a gen 8 game.

Speaking of NFTs, are Pokémon truly unique, or technically infinitely replicable?

Would two 6iv Adamant larvitars be exactly the same entity with no way to tell them apart?

I'm only interested in fangames and competitive but i still love Pokemon, i just don't really care about the mainline games anymore. I have disliked them all since X/Y, my main issue is the 3D and the lack of exploration.

I've only played spin-offs. Now trying to play the mainline games. I can't get into them. I spend more time obsessing over type coverage/who to give HMs to/not overleveling than actually playing.
Reading wikis has ruined my enjoyment of vidya.

It's weird, because I feel like things that are not the mainline games have improved in quality. As for the games though, I think Swooshie was actually a step up from SM, and I have hopes for PLA. My wife likes Pokemon too, so that helps keep me in the loop as well.

the glory days are long gone, I may have played through moon, but I can't say that I enjoyed it. hell, I can't even go back to the ones I KNOW I enjoyed. nowadays the only things I do related to pokemon are fap to/desire to pet the mon's and trainers in varying amounts.

I don't know if I'd call myself a passionate fan because I'm not passionate about anything anymore, but I still like the series. Grabbing a new Pokemon game and exploring a new region, catching new Pokemon and building a new team just has a lot of lasting appeal to me.

no. things like the OT, potential ribbons, date and time caught, ID, and obviously shiny status would distinguish that

now that you do mention it though, Pokemon are strikingly similar to NFT's

The modern games/anime are worthless garbage to me that I ignore but Pokemon is still awesome to me. Love it so much I'm learning Japanese so I can play pmd in the original language and read Pokemon fan mangas. I also draw my favorite monsters and make stories about them. I really like what the fan community does with Pokemon. For example the art or romhacks. It will always be a passion of mine.

I'm drifting away from newer releases but I'm at a weird age where I have a constant longing for nostalgia; I will always cherish the games I had as a kid and if the mood is right replay them and or try out romhacks that enhance the experience.
That was more about the games than the actual pokemon themselves. I'm still a massive fan for these adorable fucks.
I never liked the anime though

I would say I'm still a passionate fan of the series for the setting it has provided, but my expectations for the games get lower and lower with each awful entry.
I can still appreciate the world, the pokemon design, and many other things, even if the games themselves have just gotten more shit.

Always played the new versions, never stopped, and I don't let people in this board influence me on how I feel.

The games have gone downhill since XY but I like pokémon mostly for the egg hatching, training and battling with friends aspects so it's not that big of a deal to me

Used to be a big fan. Last year I gave up a lot of merch to neighborhood kids and sold all my GBA/DS/3DS games. I plan to quit after either PL:A or G9. I would have quitted already if I wasn't a Ribbon autismo using the same Gengar since Platinium. Games are getting boring even if PL:A revolving around dex filling gave me a little bit of hope, I know G9 is gonna throw everything nice from Arceus in the trash. I didn't bought BDSP and it felt weird since I used to preorder every single pokémon game since 2000's.
I play other games as well now.

it's a mixed feeling

I'm like half grown out of it, i still like the designs of alot of the mons, the music is good (excluding gen 8, that shit was ass)

the dex cut annoyed me, I'm cautiously optimistic for legends arceus.

pokemon is a big influence on my art, especially regarding how i design monsters, for both influences i want to include and design tropes i want to avoid
