The Pokemon games (when they first came out) were fairly entertaining. Was it addictive? Perhaps. Was it fun? Yeah, I suppose. For the longest time only the nerds played it (everyone, when I say "nerd," I mean it as a term of endearment) and all of the popular kids mocked them. Then, when that stupid show came out, all of the "popular" kids starting playing it and it was cool. WTF?! The shows were unbelievably bad. As someone else stated earlier, all of the plot-lines are the exact same (as there is no true plot) and it's just as bad as Rugrats (I'll rant on that later...God I hate that show). Then you had those sh*tty movies, the damn toys, and those horrific Wizards of the Coast, Magic - The Gathering rip-off Pokemon cards. Face it people - Pokemon become a drug without a needle. It was almost as bad as SoulStorm Brew. An air-born disease. Yes, THAT's when it became evil - when the franchise loomed over the horizon like the sight of the dark cloud prior to the storm. Fortunately, time acted as a rehab center for the populous of the ever-gullible audience of the USA and it began to fade to black.
However, there are still some children who are hooked onto this horrible drug. They have been diagnosed with PAS - Pokemon Addiction Syndrome. With a devotion of merely 30 cents a day, you can help heal a child of this rarely heard but often seen disability. Just call 1-800-STOP-PAS to put an end to a six year-old's addiction. Thank you.
