Pokemon Potentiality - Possibilities in Evolution

OK, so Pokemon evolve and when they do they usually emerge with new, formidable powers. This is why, in the Pokemon Card Game for example, a relatively harmless cute little guy with a little sting may be worth a lot of Pokemon points because of his evolution potential. But the Pokemons' powers are always static, that is to say that their powers don't necessarily fluctuate due to factors like sunlight or isotope intake for example. The Pokemon game could be made more dynamic if the strength of any given Pokemon's power at any given time were less predictable. Just as keepers of a Tamagochi need to feed their chick to keep it happy, so too could exposure to variable elements make a Pokemon more formidable in battle. Conversely, a search of empowering elements that does not result in a find could result in a battle with a Pokemon who is not at full strength and must therefore count on its maneuverability rather than solely on its power. This would give the game more levels, texture, and guesswork. Since an opponent would not be at the actual strength of his rival beforehand, he would have to evaluate his strategies as the battle went on. I think it's an excellent idea. The second addition that could be made to Pokemon power would be to add the number and types of powers that the Pokemon already possess. Other possibilities are add-on powers that the Pokemon could acquire by 'ingesting' various power pellets that would morph then into the Pokemon's physiology. Extra power would come at a cost however. What kind of extra powers we could add is only the limit of the imagination. We could make up new things, or draw from physics. I like the idea of a 'quantum trap' in which the Pokemon is suddenly at all places in the arena at the same time. By absorbing sunlight into the eyes (star gazing), certain Pokemon could develop the power to project lasers from their eyes, and each spectrum could produce different destructive powers (blue to vaporize, for example, red to melt). There are also many rays that we cannot see, such as gamma rays that could become invisible weapons. The list could go on and on. To change the topic, did you know that the latest craze in Pokemon merchandising is Pokemon Black and White? This summer, wherever Pokemon goods are sold, you can be sure to find Pokemon Black and White Plushies (plush dolls or stuffed toys), and the card game is now full of new Pokemon Black and White cards, including shiny raikou and shiny entei. Whether it be you or your child, enjoy! To find the rarest Japanese Pokemon items, check out the store that has every kind of Pokemon plushie that you can imagine. Also an incredible selection of Pokemon pokedolls, charms, straps, plush toys, promo cards, keychains, binders, deck boxes, sleeves, plush toys, and just about anything you can imagine. Delivered right to your front door from Japan.

Pokemon Training - Not Unlike Horses

Welcome to the Pokemon Cafe! The Pokemon cafe is for those who, like me, know next to nothing about the world of Pokemon that our kids are so excited about. I myself am a mother of an 11-year-old boy who spends a great deal of his day thinking of Pokemon. These days he's especially crazy about Pokemon Black and White, including the Pokemon card game and also the new Pokemon Black and White Plushies (Pokemon stuffed toys that look like stuffed animals). Since Pokemon Black and White came out, I admit to caving in and buying him a large plush toy and two small plushies. No more! Today's topic is training- how it is done and the attitudes of the trainers. Practically speaking, there are the attitudes of trainers in the animated Pokemon storyline and the attitudes of gamers. It is the former I want to focus on; it's more interesting! Like any other animal/human relationship, the core of the Pokemon/trainer relationship is based on trust. Beyond that, there may be a great deal...

Behind the Scenes The Changing Role of Women in the Film and Music Industries

  Behind the Scenes: The Changing Role of Women in the Film and Music Industries The film and music industries have historically been male-dominated fields, with women often relegated to roles in front of the camera or the microphone.

Organizations like Women In Film and the Alliance of Women Directors ha...
