I think we all know it's come to this. Pokemon began as imitations of cute lil' animals and cool, ferocious monsters; we all loved it the first few generations. There was a water tortoise here, and a fire lizard there. It had been all relative to what we see in life today as animate creatures. But now what is Pokemon?
Yes, technically the description of Pokemon is "Pocket Monsters," and it will probably always meet those criteria. Its a creature jumping out of a ball. How hard could it get? But would some agree that it has strayed from what us, the fans, always had described as, a "Pokemon"? Now, sitting at the 5th generation of Pokemon, we're getting trash bags, candlewicks and ice cream cones. None can disagree, Pokemon has definitely warped from what it once was. Heck, I even just saw a Pokemon supposedly going to be released in X and Y that was a sword. A sword! And it unsheathes itself when it enters battle! But is it absurd? Maybe, just maybe, hanging on to this newfangled inanimate object Pokes thing might be the only way to keep the love for Pokemon alive. Some of you may just feel like this:
Due to this, people from across the planet (except for Japan of course. Japan will always play Pokemon) are dropping Pokemon for its new "customs." They think Pokemon has grown into a strange and terrible game. Is this true? Are these customs simply new and original ideas, or is it that... GameFreak is running out of them? I think its time we all faced this topic like Machomps. We tried to avoid the fact that our favorite game series might be coming to a dead end; I know I did.
So in the end, you must ponder on these questions: Would you prefer Pokemon as what it originally was? Will you ever become a person to abandon Pokemon for how "absurd" it became? And finally, is Pokemon actually coming to a hopeless conclusion?
