..before I depart for a week in Newquay (kitesurfing) I thought I would share some unconfirmed rumours that have been flying around... I managed to catch a few interesting ones. Mainly to do with the GBA :)
In Japan Nintendo are testing many different methods of using the link cable to interact with different electronical goods, mobile phones are obviously the biggest venture with Nintendo actually trying top-up-cards which will allow the GBA to go on the internet (cartridge) with a prepay kind of method. Obviously I can see this working with linking a mobile phone but with a much better screen and the options seem endless and Nintendo are exploring many different possibilities....
...another piece I plucked from a little bird was that of a kind of business like approach, it seems that the GBA is going to have a cartridge released for it which keeps phone numbers, minigames, calenders, and in general a cartridge like a palm pilot.
More rumours and unheard news you want? You greedy people.
Well as I said a couple of days ago Black & White will be appearing on the GB's (GBC and GBA). I would like to inform people of a game which will be launched for the GameCube and apparently it is looking like nothing ever seen before with four player cooperative mode, the games name is Operation Saffire or 'Saffire'. Watch out for this one, many of you may have heard of it but its going to be good... oh yeah!
Well nothing else really great at the moment...
er-no

And before Pokemon they knew more about Power Rangers.
Most adults know more about football than they do Geography. You're bound to know more about your interests than you do general knowledge.
You can't blame Pokemon for kids not knowing where Eurasia is. ;¬)
You can blame the state of education today, but this thread isn't the place for that.

Ian Hislop is the editor of Private Eye magazine.
There's a slight difference.

Ian Hislop isn't the point, it's the words he spoke that I tend to agree with.

I've never been a fan of Pokémon (Pockét monsters?) as I'm one of these prejudiced people who refuses to play it.
I can see Meka's point though. If capturing the pokemon required rather more intelligent devision of traps or other manipulation of the envirornment (eg, block all the exits from some sort of pokemon's 'warren', so he has to use the exit you're waiting at), it would be a good leap forward.
I might even... no, actually I probably wouldn't buy it.
The curse of peer pressure, eh?
