Pokemon.

Well, where to start exactly.

Battle of the Planets, maybe. A bizarre Japanese cartoon, but good. Pokemon - a VERY bizarre Japanese cartoon and also complete pants.

However, it's totall hysterical. I CHOOSE YOU, JIGGLYPUFF! had me in stitches for about an hour. But maybe I'm just an old cynic with the mental agility of a 10 year old.

I CHOOSE YOU, GO SHANIA!

}How old are you, incidentally?{

He's about 27 and, thank goodness, can no longer use my alias (I hope).

And, I have to say that I agree with you on the slavery point - who CHOOSES to live in a ball?

Wow! I haven't said anything here in a while. I won. I don't think that the pokemon choose to live in the balls. ... i don't even think that a pokemon lives in a ball. my theory is that it is a dimesional portal of some sort.. .or not.
In any case... pikachu doesn't live in a ball.

}Correct.{

I think pokremon is the best game boy game ever!!!!!!!!
My favororite pokemon is Kabotops. I think its mixture of water and rock. The arm bades are also cool. Kaboto itself is not that good, but if you can get it to kabotops it is well worth the effort.

[male] }I think that a Surfing Pikachu or Surfing Raichu who knows something that can beat a grass-type, as well as Reflect because of its Magikarpian defense rating, in addition to Surf and an electric move, can become unbeatable.
