Something will always look stupid for someone else somewhere in the world, but that doesnt make a random teen who sags his pants any less than a teen who doesn't. Why do some people pierce their tongues, or wear all black? Why do some people almost wear nothing at all? It doesn't make a bad person, just a different person who doesn't deserve to be judged.
I have all my pokemon games as a kid (spoiled brat syndrome) plus some of the newer ones, like Diamond. I don't see any point in buying Pearl, it's basically the same game. I just bought an action replay thing for mine and cheat if I need pokemon.
