The Legend of Pokemon

[snorlax_32]

Pokemon as we know it has left such an impact on anyone who as ever watched, played, collected or read it. Starting out as a video game in Japan, and growing into the most popular cartoon show on Saturday mornings. I do not even know how to desribe the feeling i have had for pokemon for its 10 years. For me it started out on some school day in 3rd grade. I was probably pretending to be sick that day but for what ever reason i was at home watching tv. It just so happened that at 2 oclock that day a show came on called pokemon. I had never heard of it but the opening theme song was so intreaguing that i just had to watch it. God bless it, it was the very first show of pokemon shown on American Public Tv. After seeing the show for the first time i went absolutely crazy for the show. Everyday i had my father tape the show and as soon as i got home from school, i went straight to the VCR and pressed play and would watch the episode over and over. It didn't end there after word got around about pokemon the toy companies got into it. Shelves boomed with figures, cards, and all sorts of pokemon themed toys. The gameboy games were the best. People that do not like pokemon agree that the Adventure games of pokemon are and still the greatest for the gameboy system but enough of this rambling on.. just excited *first post* but the show as i would like to focus on HAD everything. I employe the word had because it lost a very important part to it... Misty... but the first episodes were so interesting and entertaining for all ages. I miss the old episodes...the ones before max and may... the ones where Ash competed with Gary.. the ones where Ash's mother would tell him to change his underwear everyday... the ones where out of no where Misty would pull out a mallet and hit Ash over the head... and where pikachu and ash had such a bond formed when ash defended pikachu from the spearows in the lightning storm... i miss koffing/weezing and ekans/arbok for team rocket. i especially miss the times where misty would hint that she liked ash but he was always so reluctent to be so invovled with something else or pretended not to notice... those are the things i miss... i remember when you had to wait an hour on opening night to go see the new pokemon movie.... pokemon had captured everyone heart.. i just want the new pokemon episodes to be like the old ones... where ash, misty and brock are argueing because they are lost in a forest and misty is blaming it on ash while brock gets a camp fire going and creates a stew... why did it all have to change... why...:( bring back the VA's... bring back the pokemon ash just has locked up at professor oaks..*snorlax is the best* and most importantly... bring back the girl every guy fell in love with... and every girl wanted to be... misty....:'( may pokemon live on forever in the hearts of the true fans...
