pokemon? that's baby-ish, and anime. it's aimed at young kids, you may still have it inside you, but seriously, i used to buy one of these pokemon cards, i had 6 cards in total, beceause i realized i was wasting my cash; it was another of these big moves they used to make cash and we would mindlessly be happy for pieces of papers with text on it.
the concept of pokemon is sick, trapping creatures in ball, so they can serve you mindlessly to fight creatures more mindless. those pokemons trainers are zombies, the concept have many flaws, it's far from pleasant.
i occasionally watch it, but only to take a look at what kind of art he uses, and how anime is weird and have weird proportions, man that Brock ( brown man ) is tall, and his head small. i watch it, and i laugh occasionally when a trainer says " GO, (pokemon), USE YOUR MIND SHOCK! " and then you see pikachu running and avoiding the mind shocks, there is soo much tension here, i almost gasped.
then at the end of a battle, pikachu seems to be wounded, he says "pik, pika", and then he tries to be a smartass and continues to fight, of course he wins, how epic.
seriously, each time i watch it i realise how senseless it is, and it makes me laugh how much it's noobish, but well drawn. people would do anything for money.
i try to avoid those pocket game engines, it's called gameboy right? it's not constructive, while you could be drawing, doing sport, preferably soccer, or taking a bath. gameboys focuses the mind on some game, where the goal is to 'win', your mind feels challenged and try to accomplish it. the adventure games are relativly easy and requires no intelligence to accomplish it. i tested Metroid X, and it was sure entertaining, but what's happening inside your brain, that's what you must think.
sure, they're entertaining, but you could do something else.
they're entertaining, but they don't make you sexy, nor develop your overall intelligence.
