Pokemon: the Alternatives - Miscellaneous - http://maxpages.com/hbdragon882/pkmn

A common, yet incorrect allegation of Anti-Anti-Pokemon websites is that “AP is killing a little kid’s hobby.” There is only one word that can describe this argument: rubbish. It’s all rubbish. There are plenty of alternatives to Pokemon; when you give up Pokemon, you don’t have to give up fun. Being a little kid also represents many changes in life, and that’s not just playing Pokemon. Better, older, more suitable alternatives exists:

Poke-Monopoly: Get real! Get the real Monopoly, the Golden Deluxe Edition or one of the commercialized ones, like UCLA or the Harley Davidson ones. You will actually learn skills that pertain to real life, instead of concentrating on Pikachu that will get you nowhere except raising your fun level.

Pokemon cereal: Not only is this cereal high in sugar and fat, this also allows you to eat your favorite Pokemon characters. I mean, come on. There are plenty of alternatives, even if you have a sweet tooth for sugar. Honey Nut Cheerios, those are good enough, instead of sugary cereal. Now, you may be thinking (I know that “hey” person) that I was a kid too, and eat sugary cereal. Not true. I ate Cheerios or Raisin Bran.

Trading Card Game: the trading card game, while there may not be as many alternatives, there is such a thing as baseball cards? It’s pointless rubbish, I can say, to have Pokemon cards. Sure, I have them, but I don’t take them out or trade them anymore. Besides, if most still-Pokemon Lovers were like me, then they just trade them because they’re rare and such. So you’re not missing anything with the switch from fictional to fact.

Pokemon food items: You can survive with the normal kind. Besides, what kind of lover would want to eat his/her favorite characters?

Pikachu, I Choose You: The lamest game around, this game targets specifically at little kids who don’t have any friends. How do I know this? Because I don’t have many real friends in life, so when I borrowed Yellow, I instantly discovered what the targeted group is. I mean, go play with the dog that’s “looking for love here” or with friends. It’s not worth $70, even if you want to say “Playstation” into the microphone.

Pokemon Blue, Red, Gold, Sliver, Yellow: Get a grip. Every one of those games has short, addicting, bursts before you get tired of it. It happened to me, under my rigorous tests. Every game I get undergoes this test. The ones that refused to fold are the classics. Get them! Tetris and Super Mario Brothers Deluxe can’t be beat in the long run.

Pokemon Johto. Orange, and Indigo: Uh—no! For that person in the Net Nomad’s forum that said she liked it because it was so silly, there are a whole lot of silly shows like that. Like the Magic School Bus. And as an added bonus, you actually learn something. Something useful, that you apply to real life curriculum. Fire back in the guestbook if you think I’m wrong. I’ll be there, watching.

So you see, when you give up Pokemon, you don’t have to give up fun. To those who are disgusted by this (I can guess who you are), go post your comments in the guestbook. I’ll have a splendid time reading and cracking up at your counter-responses.
