Can you imagine if pokemon didn't exist, or if you gave up pokemon. What would life be like without pokemon? For me if I threw away pokemon that is the same thing as throwing away my life no lie. All of my free time I am not on here I am playing pokemon on the Wii or my DS. If pokemon never existed, I don't know what my life would be like.

Everything I'd be interested in would be Mario instead.

*looks around* Well, I don't see any pokemon existing. Are you hiding them?

Heh, Sable made a good joke.

Seriously though, if Nintendo and Game Freak never brought about Pokemon, I would probably never have had an interest in gaming.

If it were such that they never existed, then there's no telling what I'd be into.

If they suddenly ceased to exist, I would be pretty distraught. I... don't want to think about it.

I'm not sure what I would be into had Pokémon not existed. Probably the Mario series.

If pokemon didn't exist...... I wouldn't be playing as Lucario or Pokemon Trainer in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Or any game. I wouldn't even be saying the word POKEMON! I'm happy that it's out though and that's what matters.

Being Serious, I don't know what my life would be like without pokemon. It got me into games, it got me into japan, and it's the one thing I truly call myself a fan of. I may have gotten into those things eventually, but certainly ot at the young age I did. Pokemon was really an amazing phenomenon.

Or if there were no Sableyes! *Gasp*

If all of the sudden pokemon was illegal it would be the end of the world. I would have next to no reason to live.

Its only a game series. .-.

If there was no pokemon, I wouldnt be a coder.

I'd never have met all of you! *in the internet sense*

If there were no pokemon well... let's just say i wouldn't be so awkward to my friends and probably wouldn't game that much.
If pokemon stoped existing... I would commit suicide (JK... no suicidal whales here)

First off, why would anyone even think about imagining life without pokemon?
Anyway, if pokemon never existed, I would probably not be as interested in video games, tv, or even life. If it became illegal, I would start something secret that will still keep pokemon alive. If it just stopped coming out, I would start creating my own pokemon stories, etc. and rely on other fans for other games.

Well don't get mad at me for my mind wandering. I do like how you think. I would also find some way to keep it alive.

Well, you asked "What would life be like without Pokemon?" The logical response would be...

Hm. Let me put it this way. Let's say... I built a machine that could travel through alternate dimensions, universes, and timelines. Let's travel to an Earth in the 1990's where GAME FREAK and Nintendo never came up with Pokemon. Then, let's travel decades later to 2010, in that same world.

The Lite in that world would never have gotten into video games. If he had, he probably would have gotten into them much later, or into a different franchise at the same age. That alternate Lite (Let's call him Darc) would probably be playing a different famous Nintendo franchise. He probably would be playing Mario or Zelda more frequently. He definitely would be playing Metroid, since I only excluded Pokemon. Darc and the rest of the world would have no idea what the heck Pokemon would be if you told them about it.

Let's take a broader view. Pikachu's face wouldn't be filling posters and window signs and kid's bedroom walls, or on their GameBoy screen upon boot up. Competing franchises such as Digimon, Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior, or Shin Megami Tesumi would either be non-existent or be somewhat more popular. Since "our world's" Nintendo is almost completely driven by demand for Pokemon, they would probably push other franchises in this one.

Who knows, maybe GAME FREAK would actually make something different than Pokemon. Maybe THAT would become a blockbuster hit. We couldn't really know for sure...

Allow me to have a moment to ponder about my life with no Pokemon...

A life without Pokemon,is a life without purpose.

Hmmm.... I think I'd play games like Kirby or Mario but I guess no SSBB or stuff like that (unless they added SquareSoft or something)

if there was no pokemon...
there would me more sonic characters on SSBB :>

If there was no Pokemon. Well there goes half my day of activities.

It sounds absolutely horrible. I would seriously go into depression. No really. My childhood, GONE.

Pokemon is something more then 'just a game' to me. It's more then a hobby. Heck, it's more then a obsession. It's a way of life. I first experienced that pure joy when I was at Walmart one day and I played a green gameboy with Crystal version on it, and I loved it.

Strangely enough, for my 7th birthday I got a green gameboy bundle with a copy of Crystal. I loved that thing to death.

The absolute thought that of it leaving, or never even existing, would do bad things to my brain. On the other side, it would keep my memories alive. And if Nintendo gave up on our beloved little yellow friend.......we'd keep it alive. Pokemon forever.

Pokemon actually got me though a tough patch in my life (12-15) so I think I'd probability be a much darker person then I am now. That and I know I'd wouldn't have any Nintendo products in my possession.

Let's see...

If Pokemon didn't exist, I wouldn't have the friends I have now. I wouldn't have an interest in doing music. I wouldn't be much of a gamer at all. Well more or less...I wouldn't be me XD

Life + no pokemon = no life at all.

wow if there was no pokemon my DS would be useless
