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.
The Team Rocket girl and Misty both have astonishing hooters.

Cross your fingers. Hold your heart.
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.
Sandshrew is my favorite.
Did ya’ll know that Pokemon means “devil in your pocket”?
Can anyone verify that Pokemon means “devil in your pocket”?
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.

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?
Awwww!!! Thank you SOOOOO much for drawing that picture! It’s so adorable! big hug I really didn’t think anyone would do it! Hehe, thanks.
As for the reason why, I’m just weird.

Hope this one works…
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!

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. Guess what I’d like to see him doing? (hint: it ain’t wearing jeans)

If not wearing jeans, then you must want him riding a unicycle!

There’s a japanese legend that says if you ever get lost in the woods and are starving to death, you will come across a bird you can eat. Such will be your fortune that he will be carrying a leek to flavor the dish.
