Oddly enough, I didn't think any of my friends knew (I know some of them still don't), but then one of them suddenly blurted, "Okay, so I hear the next Pokemon game (referring to Diamond and Pearl) is gonna be online... Let's face it," there were six of us there, all highschool juniors, "we're buying this game, and we're gonna crush everyone we encounter online."
And thus I realized, I wasn't alone.
