I haven’t been a pokemon fan for years – I’ve only played (and beat) Red, Blue, Yellow (and maybe Green). I never played any of the others. My knowledge is limited to 151 pokemon, missingno, togepi, and pichu.

I wasn’t planning on getting Pokemon X and Y. But I realize….if I have a 3DS and Z has a 3DS. Now I can actually have 2 games, and trade! (So different from when I played the games on emulator – and couldn’t).

But also – my nephew, 7, just got a 3DS XL a month or two ago. I’ve actually played (and destroyed) him in 3DS Star Fox Battle Mode. TAKE THAT SEVEN YEAR OLD. IN YO FACE. But anyways, my nephew’s a pokemon fan – has trading cards but no one to play with.

I was thinking…I might get him a Pokemon game. We can play together! Despite his free time, I’ll probably be able to beat the game before him (I’m slightly more intelligent). And then I can help him out! Right now, I’m that cool uncle for him. I watch Ninja Turtles and build lego with him and play 3DS with him. I think that’ll last until he’s 12. Then, depending on what type of teenager he becomes, I may continue to be the cool uncle or the crazy old embarrassing uncle. “You’re 36 and you still watch cartoons? LOS3R!” (that’s future slang). 5 more years til that tho….

Nintendo’s holding a “Canada’s largest pokemon gathering” tomorrow and I plan to go. The pikachu shirt I purchased a while back has been property of my girlfriend for the few years or so. Pikachu looks obese when I wear the shirt Q_Q. I have no other pokemon shirt but I’ll likely wear either my Zelda shirt (to support Nintendo) or my Kirby shirt (also to support Nintendo, but also – maybe I can trick people into thinking it’s jigglypuff). Oh yeah, people that dress up can get a Pokeball Game Case. That’s why I’d wear pokemon clothes…

LOL I was just thinking about when I was watching MasterChef Season 4 recently. Z asked me who I wanted in the finals and I said
“Hmm…Jesse….James….TEAM ROCKET!”

….nevermind, guess you had to be there :(
