Even when I added the profile to keyframe’s database, last year, there was in excess of 800 episodes. In Japan the cartoon series still draws big business, as does all the related merchandise. True outside of its native country, pokemon has fallen a bit from the public eye, though as you’ve seen, not completely.<BR/><BR/>It seems that Nintendo’s gold mine of a collective has embedded itself in the hearts of minds of at least some of today’s kids, at least it isn’t as mad as it once was, back at the height of pokemania.<BR/><BR/>I’m not a huge fan of the anime, have never played the card game and have no intention of learning how to play it. However I’ve actually quite liked the various incarnations of the video games that this whole phenomena centred around, but that’s only because I find them themselves to be fun, solid (if lightweight) RPG’s.<BR/><BR/>Never mind the kids, I’m 27 and I play pokemon games on my GBA! I'm also waiting for the DS version/s to come out, go figure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
