Has it truly been 15 years? I have been focusing on Pokémon a lot these past couple of months with this post, and this post, and yeah… this post too. A great game franchise can’t exist for 15 years without some great stories, interesting comics, and fan made projects and products. I have collected a few of these for you to enjoy!
This will be a media heavy post, so I apologize in advance.
Pokémon Ghost
The Pokémon ghost story has always intrigued me. I’ve included the first couple of paragraphs to get your attention, and you can read the rest here. It is a very captivating read, whether it is true or not.
I’m what you could call a collector of bootleg Pokémon games. Pokémon Diamond & Jade, Chaos Black, etc. It’s amazing the frequency with which you can find them at pawnshops, Goodwill, flea markets, and such.
They’re generally fun; even if they are unplayable (which they often are), the mistranslations and poor quality make them unintentionally humorous.
I’ve been able to find most of the ones that I’ve played online, but there’s one that I haven’t seen any mention of. I bought it at a flea market about five years ago.
Read the rest here.
Pokémon Comics
A lot of Pokémon comics are poorly drawn and ask the question: “what the fuck?”
Of course there are more all around the web, but those are a few fun ones.
Pokémon Memes
Mudkip is easily the most famous one.
Pokémon Videos
Fair warning about this particular video, please do not watch it if you want to remain happy when you think about Pokemon. Pretty sure this ruined my life for at least a week.
