Is pokemon for autistic people?

Post Reply New Topic

Hey I wondering is Pokemon for autsitic people?
The show seems addictive and I used to be obsessed on it back in highschool.
I feel Pokemon set me back and my obsession to it prevented me from making friends because it made me in my own world.
Whats your opinon?

Pokemon is not for autistic people at all, and here's my justification for it.

When I was in my mid teens, I worked at a swimming pool. A good number of pre-teens (kids ages 10 to 12) would come there. They were the most hardcore NTs you could ever meet: they talked about things like dating and fashion, they yelled and acted generally rowdy, and they harassed the people working at the pool (me including). At the same time, they constantly talked about Pokemon, and even carried around Pokemon cards at times. By the end of the summer, I was sick of anything having to do with Pokemon.

Moral of the story? If such hardcore NTs can be found playing with those cards, then Pokemon is definitely not for autistic people.

WTF is pokemon?

I liked the gameboy games but all the other crap sucked ass.

SATOSHI TAJIRI

Tajiri, the creator of Pokemon, has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. He has been described by Nintendo officials as incredibly creative but "reclusive" and "eccentric," characteristics consistent with Asperger's.

Pokemon may not be for aspies but it was created by one.

Another one for the list... (grabs Pokeball pen)

I've always loved Pokemon, ever since I was younger.

I think that Pokemon can be for everybody who likes it, reguardless of who they are, what they have, or how old they are. It's like everything else.

Pokemon is stupid.

Digimon on the other hand is much better. and I randomly found all four seasons, plus the movies on ebay. and I bought them. a good 90 dollars.

Pokemon ain't for only autistic people,i know of nt's who play/played pokemon.

I'm not a fan of Pokémen.

I knew a lot of NTs who liked it when they were younger.

Pokemon - Cruel animal fighting made to look cute.

Ah I remember the good ol' days XD..My brother and I grew up obsessed with Pokemon ^^

We both have Aspergers, but I don't believe that is why we were so obsessed. I know a lot of NT people who were even more obsessed by a long shot XD
