I'll confess that I was a Pokemon nut about 9 years ago. I had my blue version and played that until the cows came home and captured that most powerful of Pokemon, MewTwo, was it?
But I havlost interest now, mainly because I am the only one of my friends who has a videogames obsession. All my nephews only dabble, so they don't understand about wanting the need to catch 'em all, nor the pull of a level 80 pokemon. Kids nowadays. Bah.
Plus also, since you don't get achievement points for them, I'd rather spend my gaming time catching all the cars in Forza 2.
