Ze_ro Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 If Nintendo keeps doing stuff like this, maybe they have a chance at losing their "kiddy" image... Unfortunately, for every beer that is drank, there will be yet another stupid Pokemon game... --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 aww you guys are being too mean to pokemon.... Not to worry Jess, I like your site. I even recommended it to a friend of mine, because she is a HUGE Pokemon collector (games, cards, I even bought her a Pikachu carrying case). The only thing I was bummed about was that you didn't actually have a bag of actual "Pokechow" on the site, like a parody of Ralston-Purina dog food.
