Is it really such a sin playing pokemon?

[Swedishguy]

This was said to me in a different forum;

Maybe the reason that you don't have any friends is not Aspergers but that you still play with Pokemons?

The reason I don't have any friends is because I don't want any.

Is it really such a sin playing pokemon?

Only if you're over the age of 12.

And reason is...?

Because you'll never get a girlfriend, and then you'll never have children, and you'll be breaking God's command to "be fruitful and multiply". Duh.

i used to play it, i am usually only gaming on the computer nowadays.
well, its a good game, cant really see what the problem is.

Do you know what pokemon is? It's far more than disgusting plush dolls, I'll have you know.

 

[Technocactus]

Considering my parents are middle-aged and play Neopets, Pokemon is nothing.

Playing with yourself is a sin, Pokemon isn't, play with whatever dolls you like; although I think it's rubbish, crudely drawn, bad plots with no real insight, but then I am over 20 so I would think that, I'm not exactly its target audience.

Why? If you know anything about it, you would know its a simply designed yet complex RPG.

Having friends who play it, I have to agree with Xanikk999. They spend hours looking up how to get special stats, moves, etc, and it seems to be quite time-consuming for them...

Well if he won't knock anyone up I'd be willing to pull his weight for him. See...no harm done.

I know exactly what it is. My pre-teen male students used to be obsessed with it a few years ago. Now they're into things like preparing for college and dating.

So are you saying dating and video games are incompatible? Thousands of people who are married and still play video games would disagree with you.

 

[Technocactus]

Video games and dating are not incompatible. Pokemon and dating are socially incompatible.

 

[warpus]

IMO it's like asking, what's wrong with being over 12 and playing in the sandbox?

 

[Xanikk999]

Only if you talk about them during dates.

But then again.. girls play pokemon also, so i wouldnt be suprised if it worked for somebody...

Yeah the plot sucks. But its not as retarted as the TV show was supposedly.

If your basing it on the childish plot, then werent all video games over 15 years ago only for kids then? And before then many didnt even have plots!

 

[Virote_Considon]

Civ has a plot? Must have missed it...

I really meant linear video games. Simulations really dont count if you have to ask.
