Creatures Of Immense Power

An old craving of mine has come up.



Yep. That's right.

Pokemon.

Don't judge.



There's just something about this little yellow rat that is so . . . indescribable. But in a good way! Lately I've had a beckoning back to my old addiction to this old Game Boy Advance game (in my opinion the best one out there). And when a beckoning to the old school comes up, well . . . you can't ignore that! I realize that many of these blog readers have never experienced the tidal-wave of pure AWESOMENESS that the world of pixilated creatures has to offer.

Shame.

All I can say is that I hope that one day your travels around the world will take you to a far away, magical kingdom where the theme is, "Pokemon To The Max." Whether or not such a place even exists is completely up to you. But let me just warn you:

Don't go up against legendary creatures without the intention to either, a) kill it for exp., or b) capture it

If your choice is the later, make sure you have a variety of good Pokeballs with you and high-level Pokemon to get its HP into the red zone (when it's easiest to catch). Of course, if you have a Masterball you can just throw-on-site, because those bad boys will capture without fail. Just use it wisely, 'cause you can only get one in the entire game! (Unless you cheat, but I wouldn't know anything about that . . . )




I have also come up with 10 reasons why Pokemon is so addicting. If this doesn't convince you, well, you're a hopeless case.

1. All of the people on the screen are the same size (Allie, that means you won't be putting up with short people comments anymore ;)
2. It's technically impossible to "Catch-'Em-All" without either a) having somebody who's willing to trade a bazillion Pokemon with you, or b) cheating. (Heh heh . . . ) Thus, creating the state of mind of saying, "I haven't caught-'em-all yet!" And creating the urge to play until you have indeed caught-'em-all.
3. You can fly on them! How cool is that?!
4. You get to command your Pokemon to do whatever you want them to do! . . . Well, except fetch a soda from the fridge. If you want a pop, you'll have to leave the screen and just drag yourself there. Better yet, just take the game with you while on your way!
5. Some of the Pokemon are actually bigger than humans! Like Charizard.
6. Charizard is a dragon!!!!!
7. Pokemon have mind-boggling powers. Literally.
8. You can catch as many as your heart so desires. That is, of course, accounting for the fact that you have enough space to store all of your little minions. If you don't have enough space in your Pokemon storage, well then just get rid of all those stupid bug Pokemon. Nobody likes them anyway. (And the trainers who do always get pwned by your Charizard)
9. Fact: Mew is easily the most powerful Pokemon in the game. (Closely followed by either Mewtwo or Deoxys) . . . (Or maybe even Charizard)
10. Another fact: Nobody doesn't like Pokemon!

So try it out! What are you waiting for?! The digital frontier of Creatures of Immense Power are out there, just waiting for you to show up in their eternal lives. So get out there! And if you have any questions, feel free to throw 'em at me. I'll answer anything you got.

Gotta Catch 'Em All!

P.S. That's Charizard
