     Okay, let me explain something to you.
     This is a Pokémon newsgroup. This is where people who like Pokémon come to talk, not where bashing of Pokémon is encouraged. If you dislike Pokémon to such a degree, and think so lowly of those who like it, then you are lowering your own mental activity by visiting this newsgroup and posting TWICE.
     Also, you never did explain what's wrong with Pokémon, besides that it's popular among seventh-grade students.
     You didn't understand that? Okay, let me put it in your language:
     U fuckin' fag, dis is a damn Pokeyman newsgrup! Why da hell are u fuckin' dissin' Pokeyman in a fuckin' Pokeyman newsgrup?!
     There. Did you understand that? Good.

     My kids like pokeyman. I've treated them to pokeyman toys, books, videos, "snap" nintendo 64 game, and even a live show at the coleseum.
     But pokeyman is still not the world's greatest hobby. Not by any stretch.

     And wasn't there an anime about some racer who was speedy? Maybe not quite as much of a phenomenon as Pokeymans or Saylermans (with no sub release like the others mentioned here), but still did well on its own?

     Pokeyman XP (GC) - I got to the bit where you have to put the pokeymans in the big Pokeymag washing machine to clean them from evilness and then I couldn't really work out what I was supposed to do and started overdosing on cheap cider and clarkey cat until I puked up my pelvic bone. What a fucking disgrace.
