there are SO many things. This was heavily inspired by other top 10 videos and lists!
Quilava: Let’s get started! We asked some of you to submit why you love Pokemon on Google+, and we ranked them based on how much we agree!
10. Childhood
Quilava: Submitted by +Jason Soderholm. He said, quote, “CHILDHOOD”. I mean, not exactly the most descriptive one I’ve gotten, but it definitely works! Nostalgia here. I mean, many of us have grown up playing the Pokemon games and/or watching the Pokemon anime. Personally, I remember pretending to be a Pokemon trainer in the park, or waking up in the mornings (usually weekends) to watch the anime and cheer Ash and Pikachu and his friends on as they battled. I was always excited to receive or buy Pokemon merchandise at Target!
9. Catching and Training in the Games
Quilava: From +Blade the Leafeon (By the way, nice name, Blade!)
“Being the very best
like no one ever was
cuz catching them is your real test
training them is your cause
cuz you travel across the land
searching, far and wide
teaching Pokemon to understand
The power that’s insiiiiiide”
Wow! Nice reference to the original anime theme song, Blade. Nostalgia here too. Anyways, the challenge of catching all 150 Pokemon and training them to their maximum level (100) to evolve them is a big part of the games! And you all remember that as long as it may have taken you, you were mentally transported to Pallet Town or New Bark Town or any other place in the games, and you love it. Escaping reality is great sometimes, isn’t it? Although it took you FOREVER to get around until you got your bike. Hahaha.
8. Pokemon Variety
Quilava: Submitted by +PanRokador
“Lots of different creatures to catch, collect and train. There are no same pokemon, and everyone can find pokemon that they will like.”
Hmm. That’s definitely something I love. There are so many varieties of Pokemon, in, let’s say, the water types alone. Or any other type. Don’t like Poliwag? Relax! Just wait until Friday, and you can catch Lapras, a great ice type that can use water type moves. And if you don’t like Poliwag, you can catch Seel or Dewgong later, if you’re preferring a cuter or squishier-looking Pokemon.
