I used to thing Pokemon was giving lip service to the usual moral-of-the-story endings to their TV series. But I was mightily impressed when the hero (Ash) didn’t win the tournament that the entire series was building up to. Neither did his friends nor his new found friendly rival win the tournament. They were losers. But they accepted the loss graciously and were satisfied that they did their best. Obviously, not an American product. Peace. ---

I nominate myself as **Pokemon Master of the SDMB**! Yeah, I’m 23, can’t draw, but _love_ Pokemon. I’m registered with two Pokemon League sites and have more pokemon paraphernalia than can fit in my apartment. I’ve made my own pokemon cards and have handpainted Lego pokemon. I never rip off young citizens when trading cards and am always willing to help clarify the rules of the card game. I can write Pikachu’s name in japanese script and draw my own pokecomics. I bought a second GameBoy to trade pokemon between them. ## But best of all I have a sweetheart that loves pokemon as much as I do. Otherwise, things could get awkward. Sandshrew is my favorite. ---

No, it means “monster in your pocket”. The basic idea comes from a traditional Japanese boy’s game of catching crickets and training them to fight, combined with a hint of old _Godzilla_ movies. In the fictional world of the games and the cartoons, any pokémon, no matter how large, can be caught and held in a gadget called a pokéball (apparently based on a variant of the _Star Trek_ transporter), which a pokémon master can carry in his pocket until he wants to let the critter out. * * * John W.

TIME did a big Pokemon expose a few months back (early october, I believe). Firstly, Pokemon is short for pocket monster - easy. Secondly re: digimon, Nintendo and Pokemon’s creator (an avid bug-hunter) released the first Pokemon games for the gameboy in 1996 in Japan (where it was huge). By the time it came to the US, there was almost 3 years of crap to market with it. SO… Digimon may have been the first to make it to North America (I don’t know if it was), but is much newer than Pokemon. As for the Jigglypuff-in-Pants - WHY? ---

Heck yeah! At 26k it’s maybe not the best for wallpaper… Taken from the back of the _Pokemon Party_ video case for… uh, review purposes. Take that fair use laws! ## This tape has three top notch pokemon episodes: The Bridge Bike Gang: a glimpse into Team Rocket’s checkered past, Ditto’s Mysterious Mansion: featuring a super-cute Ditto and a girl too young for even Brock, and Pikachu’s Goodbye: The saddest, saddest pokemon episode ever. So if you’re ever only able to see the backs of the pokemon movies, you may select one using this information. Take that fair use laws! ---

## To top it off I wasted half an hour in Photoshop for nothing… [Universal Pokemon Network](http://www.upnetwork.com/anime_television/episodes_screens_36.html) has a whole page of screen captures, including the midair unicycling stunt.

you’re taking requests? In that case. . . 😛 hmm… . . my favorite is Farfetch’d. . . I’ve never seen the episode, but how could a duck that uses a green onion for a weapon _not_ be cool.
