Pika, pika?
Hi, my name is Lobo and I'm a Pokémon lover. There I said it and I'm not ashamed to admit it. But before you start calling on your buddies to have a look and laugh in synchronization at my blog post, read the rest of this first. Who knows you might think otherwise by the time you finish reading.
By the way those fasting might not want to click on the 'Read more...' because there are pictures which might be risky...
What? You don't care?
Whoa..Slow down buddy...are you sure?
Ok then...
I am sure everyone knows about the whole Pokémon or Pocket Monster. My favourite Pokémon is of course the ever loyal Pikachu since my first exposure was to the anime series back in 1998(it was actually in mid 1999 i think). I was a skeptic at first, like most people who was strictly into 'manly' games like C.S and Quake. Back then I was occasionally babysitting my 3 cousins who was obsessed by the anime and the game. Having 3 rowdy boys to look after was quite a task and the only way to keep them still was to put on the Pokemon show. After a while of watching it I started asking them questions about what the story was and so on. Then the would lend me their Gameboy and asked me to play the Pokémon Yellow version game. I was hooked within a week. It was not only fun but I think at a certain point educational. At the time there was only like 100 Pokemon characters and we would try our best to memorize them. Now there's close to 500 I think. The whole concept of the game was simple. You are a Pokémon trainer, you try to collect as much Pokémon as possible, train them and battle the hell out of other trainers.
So I played the game, traded Pokémon(using the Gameboy data cable), collected the 3" figures(I had close to 70) and even had the poster/checklist of the original 100 Pokemon. Then sadly, someone took my Gameboy out of my room and I never saw it again. My cousins outgrew the whole phenomenon and so I lost my 'partners in crime'. Yet I tried my best to continue watching the series though once they branched out to other arenas I started to get lost and just tried to pick up the movies only.
Now, the Pokémon Chronicles series is playing on Cartoon Network and yes, I'm back to watching the damn show. Will I outgrow it? Definitely, but not any time soon. So in closing this 3 a.m. pointless rant all I have left to say is..."PIKACHU, I choose you!"
