Nope, not yet. Pretty inventive way to exercise though.

I don't think I own a system within a few generations of what plays it.

Unless it's some kind of phone app.

It's not on the uk App Store. I dislike anything with micro transactions. I'd rather pay up front. I only play one game on my phone and that's reserved for toilet time.

My daughter has been loving it. We just drove from NJ to Maine (Boothbay/Pemaquid area) and she has been HAPPY.

:)

Pokemon is shite, though.

That's what I tell my daughter, anyway.

SHITE, I tell her.

Pokemon is a little bit after my time.  I have one of the GB carts only because it was in a Game Boy Color that I found in a e-waste bin at school.  I've never played any of them, but I would like to try one someday.

Edit: I just looked it up, and I was 21 when the first 2 Pokemon games came out here.  So I wouldn't even say "a little bit after my time", I would say "well after my time".  I was already playing Playstation by then.  I actually never got a Game Boy Color back then.  I had an original Game Boy in 1989, but the next one I bought was a GBA in I think the fall of 2001.

I loved Pokémon on GB. My parents bought one each for me and my brother at Christmas after it came out. Getting on the cycle was such fun! I'm not ashamed to say I was 16.

I stopped caring about pokemon after Ruby came out, didn't even know it was a video game until a few months before gold came out. Just thought it was a card game with a cartoon to match it like yu-gi-oh.

This has just reminded me. My brother has a set of either 4 or 6 Pokémon comics signed by the voice actors. Must get him to dig them out.

Nor should you be.  For me, I think Pokemon would have needed to come out when I was 11 or 12 for me to be in to it, only because I think it would have dovetailed in nicely with the NES era based on the games I was playing.  By the time I was 16 (93 and 94) I had a PC and was playing DOS games like Wolfenstein, Dune II, X-Wing, Syndicate, etc. and playing a little bit of Genesis.  So even then, Pokemon just wouldn't have been on my radar because I wasn't even into the Game Boy at that point. 

I remember someone at work playing a Game Boy Color on their break, and that was the first time I remember ever seeing one.  He was playing the GBC release of Link's Awakening on it, and I remember thinking that it was really cool, but not seriously considering buying it because the screen wasn't lit.  So I dunno, maybe if I had bought a GBC and was keeping an eye on new releases, Pokemon would have caught my eye.  In the late 90's, I was Mr. Playstation all the way, and paid very little attention to any other consoles.

Edit: I guess to clarify, my point was that it wasn't that I didn't play Pokemon because I thought it was "baby stuff" or anything, but rather that it just wasn't on my radar based on my gaming preferences at the time.
