Because Pokémon is a very popular game among Aspies (and the creator was an Aspie), I decided to ask the question. I thought it would be interesting to gain an insight into how logical the game is and how better/worse it is than this world (not that I'm desperate to go there - it doesn't exist! But I'm just saying). I thought it would be a very interesting, psychological question.

I would live there for three reasons:

> To participate in Pokémon battles.
>See some of the world's rarest Pokémon.
> The people appear nice.

So, would you go to any of the Poké-worlds, and why?

Only thing that would hold me back would be the attachments I have to my current family and friends.

If I could return to visit, absolutely. If not, I'd probably be depressed after a while. I can be away from them for a while, but the thought of NEVER seeing them again would be a little too much. I use to like Pokemon back in the past, and it would be unreal to live in a world like that.

My HFA/Aspie/Whatever son loves Pokemon.

I love to play the ancient computer game, Nethack.

Both of those games have something in common that other games don't. You get to make pets out of monsters. That's my favorite thing about Nethack.

I would love to live there, but I'd probably rather live in the Mushroom Kingdom.

I don't care if an aspie created pokemon, I think it's basically cockfighting. Why do the trainers have to capture a wild animal and force it to fight, that's cruel :cry:

No, it would really suck to not be able to walk around town without worrying that everyone you meet could stop you in your tracks for a battle, I'd become really paranoid that everyone was a trainer. Plus I don't know if I could handle avoiding walking through grass for the rest of my life. My pets would probably get mauled to death by wild Pokemon as well.

Yes, but only if I was a Gym Leader and I had my Pearl team.

I'd love to live in a Pokemon world. I could breed and train animals, for a living. :P

Interesting...would you selectively breed Pokémon? That would make the Pokédex bigger than the Encyclopedia Britannica!

The only reason I'd go there would be to be a Pokemon Rights Activist. I think it's barbaric to make those poor things fight each other! XD

No because it was a phase for me and I realize Pokemon has gotten old. Plus I'm too old to play a childish game when I'm playing more games for my age group.

Sorry to offend anyone by my views of Pokemon.
