I gotta admit I have no idea what Pokémon is about

its a perfect game exclusively designed for addiction+ merchandise.
All is about "catch them all".
very simplified RPG type game.
Still, it has nothing of story at all other than "catch them all".
99% of the episodes of the animee were the same, except you just switched the pokemon involved.

many attempted to copy the style of addiction and marketing, a lot failed. (anyone remember medabots? or the crappy beyblades?) all designed to sell the mini toys.

speaking of beyblades.. nothing more fun than to destroy these cheap beyblade "trompos" with a classic heavy Mexican Trompo.


They Mexican trompos look like this(and very solid and heavy):

I used to play Pokemon. Had all but 6 of them then my dog chewed the cartridge. Decided to stop playing from that point on so as to avoid getting sucked in again.

They have their own version and is selling well, its called DISNEY INFINITY.

Bonus, because the "character expansions" are also very well done toys.

Catching them all isn't even the focus anymore, there's too many of them to really say that you can.

The criminal syndicates have escalated from mobsters to ecoterrorists trying to exploit climate-controlling beasts for their personal preferences, a sinister cult trying to capture dragon gods that control time and space to rewrite the universe into one without emotion, an Animal Liberation Group that was manipulated by an abusive jerk that really just wanted to gain power, and another cult trying to either gain immortality or kill everyone in the country by powering some device with beasts controlling Life and Death.

Oh and among those insane legendaries, they did indeed have a Creation God in there. Was one of the event giveaways, but you can indeed put God in your party and have him smite small animals for your amusement.

Be careful, you may upset the Bronies. I mean those could be trigger words and you could cause the snowflakes to melt down.

I know you were joking, and while I don't disagree in principle (boy howdy!)...it made me think of something I saw a few weeks ago...(apologies if this was mentioned earlier, but this thread is L-O-N-G)

Has anybody out there seen BRONIES: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony?

It's narrated by John de Lancie (Q, if you're a big nerd like me) and while I expected it to be cringe-worthy and as such, funny - it was actually rather heart-breaking.

What is WRONG with us in the West (the documentary follows Bronies in Israel, Germany, England and America)? Why are our men so desperately lonely, so hungry for love and approval that they feel they can only get it from a wee girls' cartoon? There were some armed forces guys in the film, it was just :cry:.

Hug your husband, hug your son, hug your brother - TELL him you love him and that you can't imagine your life without him.

Do it now.

Don't make the men in our lives turn to...ponies. ;)
