What is Pokemon? I've seen some things on TV about it. There's a yellow thingy and the characters have weird faces.
 I'm guessing it's a cartoon but there's a pokemon game? Erm?? |

It started out as game on Nintendo (gameboy?) or something. Then I think they made it into an anime and manga. It's one of those Japanese rpg games... Wait, Pokemon's an rpg, right? With leveling up and stuff.
lol w/e Sandra, you know you think Pikachu's cute. ;x |

Sandra lives in Belgium, so maybe it wasn't big over there like it was over here.

I never played it or watched it. I've heard of it and it was a huge craze but never got into it.

But I'm shocked not everyone has heard of Pokemon... It's like a cultural phenomenon since like.. 1997 or something. I forget.
Of course, Gundams and Haruhi Suzumiya (or w/e her name is) have like.. cults. jk :P Those Japanese! |

I still play pokemon (: I'm about to beat the Elite Four! haha, I'm sure no one knows what I'm talking about.
Anyways, pokemon is more of just a videogame than trading cards, like it used to be. (At least I think so) And I don't know if they still makes shows? Basically there's a person (trainer) who collects these pokemon, who are pretty much like animals that you take care of and train for battles against other trainers. The whole point is traveling through these cities to beat your enemies at the very end and along the way you win money and get to capture and train other pokemon. |

I beat the Elite Four a bunch of times in Crystal and Silver (yeah, way old versions). It gets boring after your Pokemons' levels are a lot higher than the Elite Four's, but it's a nice way to earn lots of money fast. |

I remember my Pokemon days, I still have my copy of Ruby with a complete Pokedex, and Lv. 100 PKMN. The elite four were a bunch of noobs to me. I used one pokemon to wipe them out, I was much more of a pokemon nerd back then.

I had about 2 thousand dollars worth of Pokemon cards. But I didn't get as into that as I did Yugi-Oh. I have about 50 thousand worth of those. I'm planning on selling them in a few years when the price goes up.
One of the spelling suggestions for Yugi was Yuri

holyshit, sandra you have to be kidding.
or well probably not, you live in Belgium, I believe it was? Anyway as others have posted well its a series of episodes and story lines. Pretty much there are trainers and they are put on theses quest to fill their pokedexs which store facts of every pokemon they encounter. |

My elementary school principal would announce over the PA system, "No Pokeman cards are allowed." I never understood how anyone could pronounce it "man" since Pokemon is clearly spelled with an "O." |

Pokemoooooon!
Lol, a while ago my friend and I downloaded allthe games for the computer... VERY good way of procrastinating... 'Oh, I know, instead of starting my essay, I'll just beat all the pokemon games for a minute.' Good times. Grass starters FTW, btw. |
