Q Did This To Me!
I used to be a casual gamer. I would get a role-playing or adventure game and spend a few months just playing around with it. It was a fun existence, and it was made more fun when I picked up my DS. Then my good friend Q asked me, "Did you pre-order Pearl or Diamond yet?" That is the day my career as a casual gamer ended. Why? Because on that day I decided to get a pokemon game for my son and his DS. A week after that I got the other game so I could catch pokemon and send them over to his game so we could share the experience. Ever since then my casual gaming DS has basically become a dedicated Pokemon machine.
The compulsion is there, I may not have a catch 'em all, but dang it I want a full pokedex! How strong is this compulsion? Oh let me tell you. Yesterday, on one of the most beautiful days of the year, I ended up working on filling my pokedex. I went to Toys R Us with my son, the infamous Q and his youngest minor prophet to download a pokemon we'd never be able to get anywhere else. There we were - a pastor, a college professor, and two of our kids together to download an imaginary animal.
Thanks Q!

And the prophet still has your level 69 Raichu to boot!
Seriously though, just wait till you're buying games to get Pokemon you can send to another game. Then the compulsion is real ;-)
And I haven't even started Metroid Prime!
...bringing it to work today is probably going to turn out to be a bad move...
