I'm in college, have loved the games since fifth grade, but ever since I started hanging out with girls Pokemon could no longer be a discussion topic of mine because I want to look "cool" to the opposite sex. I still play, just can't openly while at school, and most of my research/training/battling has been done either in my bedroom or in my friend's basement, he and his brothers know what's up. This year however, I have an apartment to myself and have been able to play a lot of SoulSilver and PokemonOnline- it's been great. I hope to marry a semi-nerdy woman who will embrace my gaming passion and I can play openly into the twilight of my life- hopefully they will come out with something amazing for a console by then- I'm talking online play/tournaments, all regions/new regions, full 3D or cel shaded perhaps, almost like MMO but not quite. Phantasy Star Online but with Pokemon battles and better would be perfect. By the time this game comes out, and I think it will at some point, we could have new types, around 1000 pokes and Nintendo may have something resembling Xbox Live.
