re: I'll break the ice: Pokémon X and Y

The fricking bought the japanese gold and silver versions before the Americans were ever released. Think i was like a year ahead of the American release.

The old Blue and Red versions.

Games like Pokemon are so much more fun without the internet. We would run around and not know if it was the first time someone had come across something. lol

Like previously discussed; going to Books A Million on Saturdays was heaven. You would talk about the secrets you had discovered and battle.. then just talk nerd kid shtt.

No doubt. Had my little nephews ask if I ever played pokemon. I laughed and showed them what I played on and videos of red and blue. Then offered either one $50 to let me borrow X or Y and thir DS. I was rejected. Bastards.

Those young punks.. we did it all before them and they do not even know it.

should i get x or y?

I got Y because I liked the legendary Yveltal (Dark/Flying) better than Xerneas (Fairy). Also the Megaevolutions for Charizard and Mewtwo make their stats more powerful in Y while in X it changes their type.

Plus it seems like more people are getting X and I'm used to/like having the game most people don't have since I had Blue and Gold growing up.

Gd! Yall are going to make me buy this! I havent even touched fire emblem or ni no kuni yet

I remember the christmas I got my pokemon yellow 5special edition bundle.

We were at our family get together and I brought my official nintendo strategy guide, and on the page right before it showed all 150 pokemon with stat ranges, there was a grid with all 150 pokemon on it with no names by them or anything.

I was sitting by my uncle and he asked me if I could name all 150 without looking at anything. I did, and he was convinced I was bullshitting when I got to names like "Staryu" and "Starmie"

So Exp share works better than B/W? Idk how different it was in X/Y since becoming an option rather than an item to hold.

I'm not sure how it worked in B/W but in X/Y every pokemon in your party gets half the experience points and the pokemon that wins the battle still gets all the points it normally would.

At 27yrs old I couldn't imagine myself during my early 20s to ever play Pokemon again.

Does anyone else feel they have become nerdier with age? Less than 4yrs ago I cared about roids, the gym and sports betting... Now I find myself collecting nerdy figurines, plaYing Pokemon and building PCs for a larger epeen.
