I don't particularly care who you are talking to at any given time. Stop being wrong.  

Then why talk to me?  

Because you were wrong.  

I'm wrong for conceding my initial argument and pointing out that you took no notice to it?

In any event, I'm glad you're taking time out of your extremely tiring work day to speak to me. It makes me feel good as a person to argue on the criterion of an RPG and its application to a video game franchise originally targeted at children with an employee at Lowe's.  

Correct.  

Glad to see you're a logical person with a powerful air of superiority and flawless reasoning. Add me on PSN, we can play some sick RPGs together. Like Battlefield!  

You're using someone else's reasoning against me. I never said that I agreed with what's-his-name, I only said that you were wrong in stating that Pokemon is not an RPG.  

Man talon is getting owned.  

A role-playing game (RPG and sometimes roleplaying game[1][2]) is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting.

By this definition most games would be considered an RPG. In fact, I can't think of any games that don't involve assuming the role of characters.  

Role-playing video games use much of the same terminology, settings and game mechanics as early pen-and-paper role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons.[2] Generally, the player controls a central game character, or multiple game characters, usually called a party, and achieves victory by completing a series of quests or reaching the conclusion of a central storyline. Players explore a game world, while solving puzzles and engaging in tactical combat. A key feature of the genre is that characters grow in power and abilities, and characters are typically designed by the player.[1] RPGs rarely challenge a player's physical coordination or reaction time, with the exception of action role-playing games.[3]
Role-playing video games typically rely on a highly developed story and setting,[4] which is divided into a number of quests. Players control one or several characters by issuing commands, which is performed by the character at an effectiveness determined by that character's numeric attributes. Often these attributes increase each time a character gains a level, and a character's level goes up each time the player accumulates a certain amount of experience.[5]
Role-playing video games also typically attempt to offer more complex and dynamic character interaction than what is found in other video game genres. This usually involves additional focus on the artificial intelligence and scripted behavior of computer-controlled non-player characters.[3][6]

But really, if you've been playing video games all your life you should at least be able to look at a game and determine its genre. The inability to do so with such a history is enough to consider ******ation.  

Are you stupid or do you have the biggest superiority complex on Earth? "Looking at a game and determining its genre" is absolutely subjective on that specific person's criterion on defining a game genre and for the most part, it's not absolute and it is debatable. Even so, you haven't given **** on defending your claim other than quotes from random websites which goes against what you're saying right now. You can't go around with your tinfoil hat and say, "hurr his game is an rPG cuz wikipedia says" with zero reasoning on your part at all. I'd suggest if you'd like to boost your e-peen and satiate your crave for ego, you find a website where people give a **** about brainless sarcasm in some horrible attempt to amuse yourself and others.

On another serious note, have you been tested for autism?  

o**** it's getting real

Holy crap calm down.  

Gamestop's website also classifies Pokemon as an RPG (which it indeed is)
