The first sign of pokémon in my world was the TCG. My whole school of roughly about 100 kids fell into it, EVERYBODY knew what Pikachu and Vulpix and Gyarados were. And the glittery cards were treated as holy grails, I once got a whole deck for my Gyarados... and regretted it. Later, pokémon TCG and all TCG were banned, because kids got fooled too often by older smarter ones, into unfair deals.... I loved that school, all the stupid reguilations took place first after I'd already left ^^ (enough of sidetracks now)
I just remembered I have to bake like three dozens of cookies for tomorrows meeting.... nah, I think I'll go buy some instead. Hm, time for maths, I think.
And noo, this week's not over yet, and I've been sooo good this far :D Let's say this: on saturday or friday, I'm turning over to the dark side with you, my dark twin. Ok? ^^"
