Naw, Poke'mon's cool!
It was just overdone and the show sucked.
I remember being 10 and I had slept at my nana's the night before the show was to premier on CITV. I got up that morning at about 6am just to make sure I didn't miss it ;D
Once i'd seen the show, that was it, I was off! Well, until age 11 1/2ish, when it became 'uncool' ::)
But I had a few of the games and I was actually quite good, don'tcha know? ;D
RIP Pokemon ::) :P

I went to TJ Maxx Home Goods the other day and bought some cool vases and a small chest to go on top of my kitchen cabinets. Oh, and a framed mirror to replace the mirror in the guest bath. You can get some really good deals at that place and the store were I live has tons of stuff and it is a very clean store (which makes me very happy).

I couldn't believe it... last night, when I came home from work I was going through some old stuff in the spare room cupboard, trying to find my old DT revision guide, when I came to an old shoebox. Thinking 'Oh, what could this be?', I opened it, and would you ever - there was my old Game Boy Color! - With my old Pokemon game still inserted! :D
So, I played it for a while and it felt kinda nice, you know, reminded me of when I was a little kid and I used to play on it 24/7 :)
