Do you see yourself ever retiring from video gaming? If you think about it, eventually you'll have to, but tbh, I don't see myself doing so any time soon.

By video games, I don't mean just pokemon. Any thoughts?

I'll play video games until the day I die. I'm completely sure of this. For me, retiring from video games is like retiring from watching TV except unlike TV, video games are typically well made and entertaining.

I'm trusting that no one's just saying this because they just really love gaming right now? =P

I'd be nice to get someone in who does plan on quitting so we can start some debate or discussion or something >_>

I can't understand why 99% of old people don't like video games, or are incapable of being any good at them. I hope that I can keep up with the curve and play until I die (while making my kids l337) but something might happen to stop me =/

I'll play Pokemon as long as it is a good series. At this point for me, quitting Pokemon would be like quitting Zelda- not going to happen. Actually, as my life has gone on, I've become more into video games, not less. I would predict that as I age and have more money and free time, video games will only continue to grow in importance for me.

I have discovered one small problem though. My hands are huge, and Nintendo's controllers seem to be built for the slightly smaller handed. I've mostly been able to adopt(as ridiculous as I must look with my hands practically engulfing that SNES controller), but I fear that if future controllers get any smaller at all I won't be able to play those games anymore(the Rev doesn't look like a problem at all though; it actually looks like an improvement). Then again, most of this problem probably comes from my being 5 and 6 when I really played these games a lot and thus my talent is rooted in having hands too small for the controller.

I rather like the controllers, but I guess my hands aren't really above average in size. They can't be that uncomfortable... imo having hands too small is worse than too big.

Um, RSE was better than GSC in pretty much every way. Pokemon has improved significantly every game. RBY was incredibly poorly programmed and had a simplistic metagame(at least compared to later ones). GSC had a terrible overworld(Kanto was empty), a terrible day/night system(I never caught a Ledyba because I don't play in the morning ever, and I got REALLY sick of Hoot Hoot), and a stallish metagame. RSE has a final metagame that is probably a bit too offensive, but it's progress, and the ingame is infintely better than the previous two.

I think RSE and GSC are tied =\ RSE because it's when I got into serious pokemon battling... GSC was just cool... I like the day/night system ._. Just set your clock 6 hours ahead.

I hate the GSC metagame. I can have a team full of snorlax counters, and no be guarunteed to kill the bastered. The damn thing just doesnt die, and makes for a boring game.

I hated the day night system when I was in a time zone a couple of hours ahead because I had to wait so long for houndour and murkrow :(

Gameplay wise I think RSE are the best games so far. The first games were pretty poorly done (glitches, bag system sucked) and GSC's kanto sucked.

RBY is hilarious to play and watch, but I nearly killed myself watching bits of a GSC tourny. I'm so glad I started competative battling after GSC died and people were playing 200.

I don't recall ever seeing anything die in GSC except by Pursuit and Perish Song. Very glad I didn't get into it back then.

=\ I didn't know GSC was that stallish. I came in during early 200 as well, right around them time when Jaskpass got popular.
