Pokemon.
The word evokes many emotions, for me I feel the slow and tedious process of training and evolving the damned things, the empty feeling I get when I realise that pokemon is a vacum that is sucking up my youth and the rage I feel when you press A one time too many at the pokemon centre.
Yes, it is a terrible, terrible thing yet why can't I stop?
I get pokemon urges in the middle of the night I will wake up in a cold sweat and think to myself:
""My God I have it, I'll give pikachu a thunderstone!"
It is painful because I have realised that I don't actually give a damn if my pokemon are good or not but it doesn't stop me playing pokemon.
I spent days people, I kid you not, days growing berries to evolve pokemon. Feeding them to make them love me, my total play time is 250 hours plus the 33 I just wasted on platinum.
So now that I have gotten all this off my chest what am I going to do tomorrow you wonder, when Jack says to me:
"hey Chris, how are your pokemon?"
I'm going to look him sternly in the eye and say:
"really good man, how are yours?"
and pull my DS out of my pocket and continue wasting my life.
because despite pokemon being physically painful it is awesome.

You have such a hard life Chris. Such a hard life...
ReplyDeleteChris do you know why you have such an empty feeling while playing pokemon?
ReplyDeleteYou see Pokemon and see tools, tools that are useless if not efficient enough.
Get 6 random Pokemon, don't care about their type or how strong they are just love them for what they are, and you wont have to stuff berries down their throat for them to evolve.
You will have a much fuller experence
