Top 10 Reasons Pokemon Rules

Feature

Why people of all ages love the pocket monsters.

Sequels, Spin-offs and Remakes

There are four pairs of games in the main Pokémon series; Red and Blue, Gold and Silver, Ruby and Sapphire, and Diamond and Pearl. This doesn't even scratch the surface of what else the franchise has to offer the video game industry. There's Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Stadium, Pokémon Dash, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Pokémon Yellow, Pokémon Platinum, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver – the list goes on.

Aren't you a bit old to be playing that?

Just like The Simpsons and Toy Story, Pokémon is able to bridge the gap between two generations. Whilst children might enjoy the cute monsters and easy-to-understand narrative, adults revel in the deep RPG mechanics and hundreds of hours of potential gameplay. If somebody tells you Pokémon is just for kids; they're quite simply wrong.

I'd certainly help her play dress up by "putting a tail on her"!

I seriously wouldn't.

Look at her face, it's horrible. She's doing that stupid thing with her lips just like everyone does on Facebook to make it look like they're more confident than they really are. She's probably about 100 years old. What she's wearing is stupid and the fact she's cosplaying at a convention alone makes me dislike her.

Anything that can create a joke like "How do you get Pikachu on a bus?" "Poke him on" is a win in my eyes.

These are all the bad things about Pokemon.

And I doubt cosplaying is a popular thing to do in Japan, it's just for the nerds and weeaboos.
