#114, Enough with the Pokémon bashing, okay?

I dunno.. after all, when you think about the evils of Pokemon, isn't it highly likely that the annoying little buggers are a secret plot by the Shadows?

I can see it now.. Gryph and Zoner leading an all out strike on Z'ha'dum in order to destroy the evil that is Pokemon.

*blinks* That's one "Crusade" I could definitely applaude.

Now hey now. Not everybody in the universe thinks Pokémon is the next Barney, y'know. It's a very cheesy show, yes, and the translation makes it worse, I think (I've read a fansub of the first movie, and it made a lot more sense than the 'fighting is bad, mmmkay?' moral of the American version), but I personally find it rather appealing. I mean, cute fuzzy critters pitted against each other in gladiatorial duels... what's not to like? n_n

Heck, I think it'd be cool if Team Eyrie made use of some Pokémon elements in their fics (feel free to point me in the right direction if they have already, 'cause I've missed it). Heck, if they want to file the serial numbers off and have generic cute fuzzy critters bashing other cute fuzzy critters, that's fine by me. That depends on how they feel about it, of course, but I draw hope from their not having declared Eyrie a no-Pokémon zone; they're pretty open about stuff they don't like.

And hey, they could always write a story that is to Pokémon as NXE is to NGE. I wouldn't mind. n_n
