Is this the switch where you become a miserable stick in the mud?

Yeah I do. Sounds fun to be honest. I've never been into Pokemon though

I graduated high school in 2001. I don't recall hearing Pokemon one time. When did it become big for high schoolers?



We had this thread last week. I graduated in 2002, knew of Pokemon (cartoon), but none of my peers were at all interested in it whatsoever. Never saw it, never saw any games about it being played, etc.

It was determined that we were basically the cut off. Apparently it was huge for ages just younger than us.

I'm '06 and it was super popular. I'd say '05-ish is the cutoff

Man, you are so out of touch you don't even know about Google? That's a damn shame. I think it is time we put you out to pasture.

Is only been the most popular game for the last 20 years.

Now kids can get outside and be active instead of sitting home watching daddy pound another 12 pack into his gut.

I should have added that the 20-something year old girl is detailing where she and all her single friends will be going out tonight. The two guys talking about pokemon are ignoring her and instead discussing the strategy they're going to use to find new areas to play. To each their own, but excuse me for thinking that's a little weird.

It's an AR iPhone game which focuses on catching pocket monsters, or "Pokemon". Pretty basic.

Do you actually battle like you used to or is it strictly catching them?

Unfortunately the game is about catching them, not battling them afaik.

You can't battle with each other, though right?
