Most late 80's and 90's kids have played at least the Red or Blue version of Pokemon's first video game installment and are at least familiar how Pokemon works. You travel from city to city to battle made up characters, and everyone loves to raise their own Pokemon and to battle them. Through all the fight no one really truly gets hurt even though there is much clawing and burning going on, because that would probably make an adolescent mind sad, but no fear the cartoon and game is pretty wholesome and family friendly as a fire fight can get.
The first Pokemon game came out 15 years ago, and I remember asking for the blue version and my new Game Boy color, and most of us by now have not kept up with its later generations. If you have heard about the newer Pokemon and at the minimum looked into it you probably though chandelier and icecream Pokemon was just getting out of hand and ruining one of your favorite childhood games. If you stuck with the series you can say it grew up with you with a stunted imagination.
When you first laid hands on your Pokemon Red or Blue your tactics were pretty simple and straight forward. You picked a Pokemon that looked super cool, and then battle with someone until you were victorious. When you had a fully evolved Charizzard and were up against the likes of a Bellsprout you knew you were going to win with common sense because fire burns grass, and that was the most strategic the game got.
Then you grew up and just having the toughest Pokemon didn't matter as much and Nintendo added some more strategy to it. There were hidden statistics in the game, but are less hidden and even tutorialized in the newest versions of the Pokemon series. These hidden stats would let you know how strong your pocket monster really was and they even got a bunch of equations to show you the true value and charts to compare Pokemon with each other.
Okay I am pretty good at math, but if I was playing a game like Pokemon I wouldn't really want to do any math at all. Well at least if you do want to someone already came up with the formula.

In this chart you see them comparing a Dusclops with another Dusclops, what the hell is a Dusclops?
Today if you want to be the very best, like no one ever was you will have to do math because some other gamer out there already has all the best Pokemon waiting for a challenger. In order to get those best Pokemon you will have to breed and catch and catch until you get one with the right characteristics and stats and that sounds way to time consuming to myself, and ridiculous Pokemon like Dusclops are why I won't be picking up the game.
We Became Perverts
Pokemon grew up with a lot of us and I guess some of us became a little sexually attracted with the thought of Pokemon on our mind. It may have been the boy or girl who could name all the Pokemon and were constantly drawing up their own, or it could of been the one who was quite and to themselves. They probably created the Pokegirl World project which is a tad disturbing, but it exists and a hardcore fan created it.
People get lonely, especially ones with few to no friends then they decide that, capturing girls like Pokemon is just right. Becoming infatuated with characters of you childhood just seems to happen to the lonely, and some masturbate to Pokemon, no surprise here as long as you have surfed the darker corners of the internet (Read: 4chan, and Reddit with their pony lovers). Hey, you really can't blame em though since we all got something we wouldn't right out admit. Unlike the create of the Pokegirl World Project, I never created 600+ Characters, all with back stories, facts.
Some of those perverts actually put time in doing something more productive than having fantasies about their fictional loves. These people were the ones who may have been artsy and could draw or just create really well. Then this person came up with items like the Pokebra.
Weird Characters
Well I guess I should put it as weirder? Okay, not that a lizard that can spit fire, a electric rat, or a turtle with cannons on it is some animals that are real, but at least they resembled actual animals for the most part. The Pokemon world has grown past the original 150 specimens to 800 + new creatures that is quite a lot of different forms, Nintendo couldn't have ran out of ideas right? All their new creations were just as good as the originals right? I don't think so.
I personally cannot say that I know what all the new Pokemon are, but I know they resorted to more inanimate objects, and stealing some ideas from Digimon.
So we got here Chandelure and Vanilllish, which I didn't label because I think you all are smart enough to figure it out. Talk about really milking the franchise, that you literally made an ice cream pokemon who apparently evolves into a two scoop at it's final form. They just get weirder from here, i'll leave that up to you to look at the other 800+.
Now what does Pokemon do when you can't think of more Pokemon because they ran out of bananas and chairs? You make it so they can evolve some more, evolve into Digimon, but this is only a temporary evolution while in battle...Wait just like Digimon?
Well copied or not, we know which one is still around, but my first though was Digimon when I first heard Mega evolution. Copying is a never ending circle so we just take it as it is, it could be good or bad, but it will probably still be there at the end of the day.
Once upon a time we were just little perverted kids with a new Poke fantasy world, and like the series we grew over time. Some of us jerk it to Pokemon, and other fictional characters in the Poke world, some of us didn't even realize how much things have changed and how perverse things have gotten and I kind of ruined some of your fonder childhood memories. Chances are if your reading this your a math loving, pokegirl world ready pervert, and we should trade Pokemon because we can now do that over WiFi instead of a game link.
