Pokemon is popular right now because so many hipsters play it ironically.That has nothing to do with this amazing video that you just have to watch to the end.
Is it really possible to play it "ironically?" I mean, I know a lot of people who started playing Deadly Premonition because it's cheesy and has low production values, but they wound up enjoying the game because... well, I haven't played it, but there seems to be something to enjoy nonetheless. I've been playing HG/SS because I like it as a game, and the cheesier/trite elements I find more annoying than amusing. I mean, are hipsters pulling out their DSes and playing them openly in front of coffee joints or something like that?
everybody plays it..
>>7995>Is it really possible to play it "ironically?"Only if you don't know what irony means.
So, people who don't even like Pokémon just play it all the time when friends/other people are around just so they can say, "I love playing Pokémon, because like me, its so unique and whimsical."?Fuck, no wonder people hate hipsters.
>>8011Yep. It's pretty heartwrenching to watch a real fan excitedly try to strike up a conversation about it with one of them.A lot of them don't even both to play it, though, just wear HILARIOUS Charmander shirts and Pikachu backpacks and that sort of shit.
>>7995> I mean, are hipsters pulling out their DSes and playing them openly in front of coffee joints or something like that?Yes, they really are that shallow.
>>This Thread>>Commonly breaks out his DS and pokemon's on the subway, parks, etc.>>Wears Sunglasses and Skinny Jeans>>Is now terrified for being mistaken for One Of THEM!What the Hell do I do now?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND. HOW DO YOU PLAY A GAME IRONICALLY?I always get excited when I see someone play it on the bus or whatever. Sob :c
>>8031The answer is to wear form fitting jeans and only use sunglasses when it's bright outside.
That's not ironic! That's just being a douchebag!
