HowDeepIsUrLove

I am 28 years old Greek guy and along with my wife,I own a pharmacy store and despite not having lots of free time, I like going for walks with my wife, go shopping, drinking cofee (signature greek act ^^ ) and of course playing video games. I am a big fan of Role playing games since my childhood, starting with Dungeons&Dragons Second Edition. That is when I fell in love with RPG games and became a hardcore player. There were times in my life I spended maybe three full days playing games like WoW, Linage 2, Baldur's Gate series, Dragon age series etc. When Pokemon Red and Blue were released in Europe, I tried out the red version and I must admit that the experience was something I rarely feel about games. Soon Pokemon became very important for me and I dedicated a big amount of my childhood playing this great game. Back then I was 12 and since today, I never stopped playing Pokemon and I am very proud of this. Many people when hearing pokemon, they laugh and they say things like "Pikachu" and such but they lack the real knowledge of the games. The complexity that came over the years in the form of IVs, Natures, abilities, EV training and breeding is simply put amazing... I consider Poke series very deep as a Game. I hope in the following years to still be able to play with my kid/kids and if they kick my butt in competitive scene, I would be SO proud!!! :D I am sometimes nostalgic and wish I could return to the time when in Red, Alakazam, Dragonite, Scyther, Aerodactyl, Gengar kicked major butt. I really admire the 1st Gen because everything has a start and I really wish I could relive that experience with my friends (None of them is playing Pokemon any more... They have "grown" and forgot the greatness of that past times...
