The battle system is one on one so it's more interesting than "Attack the weakest monster" which is what most RPGS degenerate into. You have to learn all the attacks and work out which monsters are more effective, paper scissors rock style. Water beats fire, grass beats rock, ground beats electric etc. 2. My friend's five year old brother plays it and he's beaten all the gym leaders. 3. It's hard to say because what constitutes an RPG is open to interpretation. However I probably wasn't very young because no NES and very few SNES RPGs made it to Australia. 4.

Someone else posted a list, but I'll elaborate. First off, a few years ago AOL was having trouble keeping up with demand, so the connection speeds were HORRIBLE. They waited like a year before they fixed that. They don't seem to care about their users at all, since the only reason they added more servers was because the media finally noticed and wrote about it. Even now their connection speed is generally lower than a regular ISP. Also, their price per month is 21.95, 2 dollars higher than basically every other ISP. They have those annoying messages which ask you to disconnect after idle time. Use of their chat results in huge amounts of porn/spam in your mailbox. The included browser used to suck alot (they use IE now, so it's not as bad). So you see, it's not that people hate AOL for no reason, we hate it for plenty of reasons. It's hard to see why anyone with any technical knowledge whatsoever would use AOL instead of a real ISP.

Just how good is pokemon? It's very addictive, and the battle system is pretty cool, different from other RPGs. I thought that walking around leveling up your pokemon got pretty tedious eventually, but that's symptomatic of all character-building RPGs. A considerable amount of strategy is involved, mostly in choosing appropriate pokemon. It's not just a matter of having the highest levelled pokemon, because a level 30 wartortle (water-type) could probably take down a level 40 Onix (rock type), since rock is weak against water. >2. How old do you have to be to be able to play pokemon? I'd say 8 or 9 to be able to understand the battle system fully, but it's easy to understand, so a 7-year old could probably play it. He wouldn't be good at it, but he could play. >3. How old were you when you played your first rpg and what game was it? I remember I watched my friend play Phantasy Star on his Genesis when I was about 8 or 9, but I never played. I think the first RPG I played would be the first Zelda on the NES. The first turn-based battle RPG would be FFVII. The first turn-based that I played for a significant amount of time would be Pokemon.
