What Is The Pokemon Evolution?

Pokemon are different from other creatures in that many of them can spontaneously mutate and acquire new powers. In Pokemon parlance, this is called 'evolve' though though of us with an interest in paleontology know that evolution only occurs over a period of thousands or millions of years, while a mutation is something that a living creature is born with- it doesn't generally happen at a certain stage of life. However, animals do change as they grow older and furthermore in the insect world there is the phenomenon of metamorphosis, which is really what the Pokemon do- they metamorphose. I don't know if the latest incantation of Pokemon, Pokemon Black and White, are 'evolved' or not, but they sure look as if they are. They have evolved and may be found anywhere they are selling Pokemon goods- in fact they dominate the shelves and any Pokemon fan who wants something new can't get enough of them. Check out the new Pokemon Black and White plush toys, the stuffed toys and figures, the new Pokemon Black and White Promo cards, and the latest in Pokemon Black and White Zuken and Tomy Figures. I myself am not familiar with how a Pokemon undergoes evolution, though if your child is a Pokemon fan, I'm sure he is. I would imagine that the Pokemon go somewhere private to do it, but maybe it just happens spontaneously. I do know that I can spot the evolved Pokemon manifestations on Pokemon charts when quizzed by my son, though I don't seriously think that's any great feat. Unfortunately, my interest beyond picking them out wanes; I don't even know their names or powers, a fact which never ceases to horrify my son. He just doesn't seem to be able to fathom how anyone cannot spend his or her entire day and night not thinking about Pokemon. It has managed to sink into my head, vaguely and through shear repetition, that each Pokemon is associated with some natural element like grass or water. It is sometimes said that the Pokemon therefore emerged from the 'kami,' or gods, of the Japanese Shinto religion. While that may be true on some level (I've heard it was not), it is also true that there is only a single god for one thing in Shinto- rain, for instance, while the Pokemon are grouped. Actually, and this as far as I'm concerned is a much more accurate reference to the mutation of Pokemon, the Pokemon game was conceived by the children's (mainly boys) habit of collecting and battling insects. Now while we adults may conceive of that as cruel, it is after all just something boys go through. Anyway, the metamorphosis of insects would explain Pokemon 'evolution' better than anything else. To find the rarest Japanese Pokemon items, check out the store that has every kind of Pokemon plush 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. However, significant shifts have occurred over recent years, with more women stepping into and excelling in key creative and leadership roles. This article delves into the evolving presence and influence of women in these industries, highlighting the challenges they face and the progress they've made. Breaking Barriers in Film In the film industry, women have traditionally been underrepresented, especially in roles such as directing, producing, cinematography, and other key behind-the-scenes positions. Recent years, however, have seen a promising shift. Initiatives and advocacy groups have emerged, focusing on gender equality and the inclusion of more women in these pivotal roles. Organizations like Women In Film and the Alliance of Women Directors ha...

Seance - The Daisey Mae Story

Monday 26th September - Preview of New Show. It is common for Theatre shows do run preview events and performances before the formal run of dates begins... It is common for comedians to try out material on a selected audience before going on tour... I would assume therefore that Magicians would do the same... For me this was the first time of running a dress rehearsal preview of a full two hour show in front of an invited audience and I'm not sure why it's taken me this long to do it! OK, the downside is having to cover the costs of hiring the venue BUT the pluses far outweigh these costs. It's almost impossible to rehearse a mentalism show without an audience, and despite the scripting, blocking, routining that needs to be done its not until there are real people watching what you do are you likely to get any sense of the 'effectiveness' of your show. Seance: The Daisey Mae story is a two hour show ending in a seance. I spent ages on a back story linking the...
