Please be patient

I’m sorry that there isn’t much on the site just yet, but wordpress isn’t the greatest service and I’m not an HTML designer so please bear with me until I have more pages added.

Welcome to my site!

October 29, 2006

Hi everybody, and welcome to my site.!  I am new to wordpress so please bear with me.  I am a pokemon fan, even though I don’t openly admit it.  I recently ran into a site that inspired me to make my own.  I have a link to it here.

I don’t think Pokemon is kiddy, because it just isn’t.  I am in middle school, so most of the other kids don’t like Pokemon.  If you are not familiar with Pokemon, here is a description I pulled of of wikipedia:

Pokémon (ポケモン, Pokemon?, IPA: [ˈpoʊ.keɪ.mɑn], although frequently mispronounced [poʊ.kiˈmæn]), is a multi-billion dollar media franchise[1] controlled by video game giant Nintendo, and created by Satoshi Tajiri at least by 1995 (it celebrated its tenth anniversary on February 27, 2006, although the franchise was copyrighted in the USA as Pokémon by 1995). The original Game Boy video games have since been merchandised into anime, manga, trading cards, toys, books, and other media. The name, Pokémon, is the romanized contraction of the Japanese brand, “Pocket Monsters” (ポケットモンスター, Poketto Monsutā?), as such contractions are very common in Japan. Nintendo originally literally translated Poketto Monsutā – indeed, a “Pocket Monsters” game was created in early 1995. A naming conflict with the Monster In My Pocket toy range caused Nintendo to rebrand the franchise as “Pokémon” in early 1996. The game’s catchphrase, in the Japanese language versions of the franchise is “ポケモンGETだぜ! (Pokémon Getto Daze! - Let’s Get Pokémon!)”; in the English language versions of the franchise, it used to be “Gotta catch ’em all!”, although it is now no longer officially used.
