Before I get into the meat of this reblog, I’d like to thank everyone who voted in the poll from last Monday’s Pokemon post. While I’m looking forward to getting started with LeafGreen, I’m leaving the poll open for one more week. Which starter should I pick? Whicjh one would YOU choose? Leave your vote, and majority rules!
So, with Pokemon continually on the brain, I’m sharing here a post on the topic that I wrote last month for United We Game. In it, I explore a little further my feelings about the series and broach the notion of actually playing one of the games after so many years of passing them up (for no good reason, really). While Pokemon wasn’t part of my gaming history, it was for a sizable population of today’s gamers. For a look into one such past, I highly recommend “How Pokemon Made Me A Gamer” from the The Duck of Indeed.
