Hey guys, how are you?
Im opening this topic to talk about pokemon.
What is pokemon for you?
I mean..
When I first played pokemon, I was child, my friends and myself as well, we have always "seen" this game only for child, and it's embarassing for me to tell my friends "I play pokemon".
Infact nobody of my friends know I play pokemon, this would be embarassing for me, really.
When Ive discovered Smogon for the first time, but when Ive seen the competitive aspects of this game in general, I could never believe my eyes.
And woah! Everytime I was used to turn on my nintendo DS, everytime I dreamt to be Ash Ketchum, I thought a lot.
I had the opportunities and the honor to play with formidable players, but the most incredible thing was..I was not the only one!
There were/are lots of players who compete to be the best, to win trophies..
What does it mean to win a Trophy, in pokemon?What does it mean to be considered one of the best?do you think u feel good?
Well, these were the questions I always asked myself.
I remember the time I felt sad when I lost the smogon tour playoff, or the classic playoff..I really felt sad! And I did not sleep for few hours!
Bcoz I think this is more just a game for us! Bcoz I still cant believe there are million of users from all over the world who compete to be the best...we started with a funny game and then, it become a competitive game.."like" soccer, or NBA.
Ive always considered this game like a game, but tbh, when I lost classic and stour playoff I felt rly rly sad.
I often look myself into the mirror thinking about pokemon, and I wonder "whats this game for me"?
No1 knows I play pokemon,no1 of my "real" friends know I play pokemon and I dont want they know it.
I "divided" my life in 2 lifes..
The first is about my real life, my girl friend, my friends, sports etc..
And the second part is about pokemon.
Yes bcoz when I feel bad I come here. This is for me a "hidden secret" to escape from the real life.
This is not just a game, I think. This is more, I guess.
But dont know what is it?
And you?
Is it the samething for you?
