Pokemon has been out since 1998 and has gone through different coulours (red, blue, yellow, gold and silver). I think it has gone too far, I mean that there is even a pokemon crystal coming out at the end of this year. I for one am getting sick of "Wow, pokemon yellow is out" or "mum I want squirtle not bulbasaur" I mean whats next in there never ending amount of coluors - 'Bergandy' and 'The colour your socks are when you leave them, wet, lying around for the day. And then the never ending merchandise, Like pokemon Yatzee and Pokemon monopley. Next thing you know we'll have the 'pokemon empire state building' and 'pokedonalds'. What I'm saying is pokemon should take the bullet and back down, because its glory is finally over, but of course Nintendo can't take it and will continue to distribute crap products until kids try to make thier dogs jump out of a 3rd story building into a garbage truck using thier phsycic powers or what ever it is!

That's because the other games did so well!

Actually, I've heard rumours that we will only see 2 brand new Pokemon games: Pokémon World for the Gameboy Advance and the new Gamecube game.

The Pokémon themselves may appear in other games though!

I've got Pokémon Monopoly! It's cool!

Pokemon on TV is so boring.But on GB it's quite fun - I don't know why , it's just - different.The idea of trading between different 'versions' is a one only(apart froma a new zelda game which uses passwords).Face it.Pokemon on TV is *boring* and trading cards are *boring* and tazzos are *boring* but Pokemon GB Rulz!

Pokémon is changing the technology of the gaming world!

In fact Pokémon Pinball was the first ever Gameboy game to have the rumble feature!


Nintendo can't just risk sticking billions of pounds into an idea that someone quickly thought up during a coffee break! They need to take their time and make new ideas as the fashions change!

Right now Pokemon is still top especially now the 3rd Movie is about to be released in the US and the Johto games are being released in UK!

The Pokémon Game for the Advance is going to use even more technology to enhance the gameplay! Other games may follow! I think this extra enhancement is going to be like the barcode battler where you can buy cards to enhance your Pokémon's powers...but maybe you'll be able to make your own cards which will make special items appear which may enhance gameplay even more!

I find the only people who complain about Pokémon are parents and gamers who've never played the game long enough to realise it's more that cute monsters that fire electricity!
