Your right, same thing happens with any semi popular anime.

Also, the only thing I would argue with is the Pokemon snobs. You will run into that with any video game that is popular.

I still say the games up to Pokemon Silver and Gold were fantastic.

But that article was actually alot more interesting and funny than I thought. Pretty spot on too!

Strangely though, when I clicked on the Pokerap I imagined the X-Play and Attack of the Show crew all singing it. Really... I just don't know where that came from. I'm sorry.

My kids 6 and 8 are so into Pokemon right now. They can name just about any Pokemon and the order they evolve. It's amazing what their little brains can remember.
