ok so pokemon originated in japan, and was brought to the us. the first games, wich featured the first 150 pokemon plus mew,were the best in my opinion. than the
anime series came and kinda killed it, becaus the show was honestly 4 little kids. but pokemon is still strong. i can remember, in 3rd grade your coolness was cordinated with what cards you have. and i had tons and i still do. and in middle
school everyone predended to hate it cept me i had stickers and drawings all over my stuff.... and it was this big thing when me or my buddies found a
girl that still liked it man i remember this one
girl, i new her for like 3 years and didnt know she liked it til one day i was in social studies and noticed she was useing cindaqual as a book
mark. and dont lie and say u dont like it, cause its monsters u use to beat up other monsters with and get to put in red balls. also dont lie, because i know u got up early just to watch the show. i know i did. by the end of the first week i could recite the whole poke-rap.trivia;the first second gen. pokemon to appear in the series is ho-oh, in the first episode. also, i
bet u stay up to midnite just to beat whatever new
game u got. i no i do. the market has been killed by spin-offs and fakes, but honestly even i got a copy of the mad issu in wich they decide how to
kill pikachu. the card
game is great, the video
game are great, but the show kinda sucks. i know that imm way to old to play it
