My sister and younger cousins liked Pokemon in 1999 or so... I thought it was completely stupid, and just for younger kids (remember, I was 16 in 1998 when the game came out here). Tried it for half an hour once, and never again. I mean, I would have said that it's a JRPG so that means a lame battle system I don't like, plus it has no story worth mentioning, and all you do is collect monsters pretty much? Who cares... sounded really dull, and that was confirmed once I tried it. :)
I'm somewhat more used to JRPGs now than I was then so perhaps today I'd like the games more than I did then, but still, the lack of plot, collection-only focus, etc, etc... just don't look interesting. I'd get bored very, very quickly.
The only Pokemon game I actually really like is Pokemon Puzzle League for the Gamecube... which is good because it's a Tetris Attack/Panel de Pon game. :)
Oh, I've watched a few episodes of the TV show on TV before, it's bad but entertainingly stupid occasionally.
