Hi quality, my name is Phil, I hope you like me!
I thought I'd write about pokemon to you!
Hey you! Haven’t heard about Pokemon? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Sorry, if you seriously haven’t heard about Pokemon then you are such a lucky person – I envy you so much! I very much doubt it though, as the little Japanese craze has taken over the world and has become Nintendo’s biggest acquisition, and the whole franchise is said to be worth around $7billion or something obscenely high like that. Ok, so I hate Pokemon, it’s become too big, and don’t think that the craze is over – at least the madness has eased, but still the Pokemon Gameboy games sell out whenever they’re released.
Why is it that you ‘gotta catch ‘em all!’? Surely if they’re so great, one would be enough! But no, you have to collect a silly amount like 149 or something. That’s going to be quite expensive…
I’m not against kids having fun, but when you have children who can’t stop telling you about how they completed Pokemon Gold, Silver or Blue, whatever the colour, you may get a bit agitated! Blame the Japanese! They started it! But is Pokemon actually damaging to children? It’s become an unhealthy obsession, among a few, and I suppose in moderation the cartoons aren’t too bad, but it’s as though Pokemon is a drug – a freely available, and yet incredibly expensive when you think about all the merchandise out there, and in your homes, what else can children, and some adults, spend their cash on?
The cartoon is a load of rubbish from my point of view – awful animations, and really boring, but then I’m not a target audience so I suppose you kiddies like it! Pokemon’s most infamous character is the omnipresent Pikachu – it’s everywhere!! I don’t particularly care if it can transform or evolve - it’s all a load of nonsense to me! I have heard that the video games are actually quite good, although each colour is said to be a clone of the previous one. It’s insanity.
Anyway, that’s my complaint over I’m going to get my son to play football again…

yes, the names list can't be retrieved, I'll try and contact the server admin about it. You can still access the channel, and a list of names pops up when you enter. I'll make a script you can execute via my box to display a names list if you want, as a temporary measure.
true jess, one condition of me going back was that I didn't have to moderate #hp..I seem to get dragged in there anyway =/
We get stragglers coming in to the SR room sometimes, chanserv removes +s occasionally, when it gets bored..

GIVE THEM A MEDAL!!!
Seriously, anyone older than 12 hates pokemon, so you hardly need to preach to the conveted.
Good opening topic, though. Better than a console wars post (ahem, suffle suffle... BYE!)

My name is also Phil (except it's pronounced 'Andrew', and spelt 'Andrew', too.) and I also hate pokémon. I haven't played the game, but anything with so much merchandise surrounding it must be bad.
The cartoon is lame, and so is the TCG. I expect the game is quite good, but I still hate it ;)

Hey, new-phil, is your name really Mike?
Anyway, Pokémon isn't expensive if you just stick to the games. If you paid for all the Final Fantasy games ever released then you'd be paying more than if you bought all the Pokemon games.

Hi, I'm not Phil, but I also too hate pokemon. I did have a list of reasons, but I gave up on them, when I decided no one really could be bothered to listen, nor could i be bothered to say.
