It's kind of disturbing how when we all first got Pokemon RBY for our Game Boys, Professor Oak's intro claims that Pokemon are pretty much an every day part of life and that like everyone has one.

We were all thinking, "what like dogs and cats and trout?" and our parents thought Pokemon was the most bizarre Japanese assraping that they couldn't prevent their children from being delivered, so they just shut up and let their kids do their "pokeman". and in some cultures, they were demons and a direct link between Japan and Hell.

Now, in today's real world, it seems that if you don't like pokemon, you're some kind of insensitive piece of tit with no taste. I believe this is something to keep our eyes on.
