Already huh I guess I get to that when I finish the Plasma Frigate with my Lucario and Starmie.

I hardly come around here any more. I should do something about that.

So, I'm trying to convince a friend that Pokemon is nothing like MLP. He thinks that adult fans who enjoy the games are creepy, like Bronies are creepy.

I just learn to ignore those kinds of naysayers, and rather they drown in their CoD and go to Xbox Live Hell.

I'm getting so sick hearing that.

Yea, there are some creepy people in the MLP:FiM fandom -- especially went it comes the fanfic Cupcakes -- but is it really [tornado fang]ing necessary to outright label every single fan of MLP as some kind of demented weirdo? My recent post in the MLP thread shows there are respectable (and sane) people in the fandom; they we're just a bunch of guys who wanted to make a game where the MLP characters beat the tar out of each other for fun.

You're okay in my book.

He thinks that grown men shouldn't be so attracted to a kid's show/game as they are. I explained to him that Pokemon is different, as most of its adult fans grew up with the games. But, whatever, to each their own.

He's missing out on a lot of fun. I can't even get him to play any retro games. He's too content with Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and TOR.

Hell, what makes the Pokemon games intrinsically for kids? I was fourteen when Red and Blue saw release stateside.

LOL, his loss.

I was about 15-16 when Pokemon came out.

I can't even get this guy to play Super Press Space Bar to Win, which takes all of 04:46:06 minutes to play.

I never even heard of that game.

Go play it. It's awesome.

ViperAcidZX · **Reply #24191 on:** April 30, 2013, 06:20:25 AM

I was probably about 8-9 when I saw Pokémon hitting the states.

I doubt introducing him to Knightmare II: The Maze of Galious is gonna help, much less La-Mulana and their remakes.

Yes I finally have Ice Beam! Now Konpeito can wreck even more [parasitic bomb]!

Amatiramisu · **Reply #24193 on:** April 30, 2013, 06:24:53 AM

People probably associate the anime with the games, seeing as the anime is much more... Childish, than the games are. That likely accounts for most of those kinds of people.

Quickman · **Reply #24194 on:** April 30, 2013, 06:25:15 AM

If I mention Wolfenstein 3D, he thinks I'm talking about Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Which I'm not. Nor have I even played. And I certainly have not helped create mods for it.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #24195 on:** April 30, 2013, 06:30:27 AM

Your friend makes me sad, I bet he wouldn't be able to answer a single question on the video game trivia I'm making right.

Quickman · **Reply #24196 on:** April 30, 2013, 06:35:32 AM

Probably not. He claims to have not grown up with such "luxury," so I can't really fault him. Though, it wasn't as if I had a slew of gaming systems, either. My brother and I had to save up for our systems and games, or we rented a lot from the video store. Or, we borrowed from friends.

Yeah I usually save up for games when I can since I don't have a job, but I should be able to get some games during the summer after school is over and I finish rolling my coins. I already have at least over $400 worth of counted change.

I still need to see that, I mean it's only 12 episodes.

I think they also made movies on it too, though I need to see those myself if I can get them fan-subbed.

-edit-
Damn, the two current movies aren't even subbed yet!
