Dude/Dudette, I'm at Uni and have met plenty of people who play pokemon. Just hold on.Along with a lot of others the thing I miss most is having friends that are into these games as much as you are. I remember every lunch hour we would race to complete the game or we'd bullshit our way through playing TCG together, now that Im in highschool its so different. Its just considered stupid and if you dont agree then you are mocked. Even among my group of friends none would even consider playing Pokemon now.
I miss being able to put things in my PC.
This can still be accomplished to an extent if you stay away from the game discussion prior to its release. I played Pokémon Black with only the knowledge of what types the new pokémon were, otherwise my knowledge was very limited. I can honestly say it was the closest pokémon experience I've had to Gen I and II.The fact that it was raw and new, it was taking a step in this foreign world, discovering what would become the core 151 pokemon and learning the basic concept of pokemon. The move animations (gen 1 ice beam anyone?). There was this sense of mystery and adventure that none of the other games have ever replicated, and it was a great part of my childhood that I'll always remember. The juvenile sense of this kid from a small town venturing forth into a strange and sometimes dark world, that is what I miss from the old games, the true essence of what pokemon was. Adventure.
I know.Our first encounter with Brock wasn't so bad, but that guy? Completely floored. Quick Attack and Hyper Fang is so insanely useful in the beginning of the game.-That level 16 Raticate trainer that kicks so much ass
Very true, B/W was the newest for me since gen 1, though i couldnt resist looking at all the new pokemon as they were revealed, so it kind of ruined that aspect when i got the game, wish i couldve resisted the urge, but the curiosity nagged at me every day leading up to the release. When i first saw a blitzle online i was so stoked to get that little zebra lolI miss how every route was filled to the brink with trainers. I feel that their numbers have dwindled now.
The unlimited room is nice, but you eventually reach the point where hoarding everything lose its meaning.

If a Gen VI ever rolls around, I'll even make my best effort not to look up the new pokémon. Although that'll be difficult since it would virtually mean shutting myself out of the pokémon community for months.

Lmfao, same here. Me and my friends started on the R/B/Y games and then we played competitive pokes from Gen 3 - Gen 4. Then they quit after HG/SS came out. Anyway back on subject, I miss all the oringnal sprites they looked so cool :[. And my oringnal ingame team, Charizard, Pidgeot and Articuno.Back then all my friends were into Pokemon. Now they slag it off :-(
