<description><![CDATA[About three years ago, when I was first considering joining the exciting world of 3D animation and design, I found myself overwhelmed by the possibilities and various types of advice that were available to me. As I listened to those who would be my colleagues, whether they were veterans of the industry, or were new, eager, presences on the scene, I felt dizzy by the array of opinions about what would make a superior visual effect company truly stand out from the pack. Now that I've been in the industry for a few years, I feel like I've come to...]]></description>

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.]]></description>

And in Pokemon stores it is now Pokemon Black and White spinoffs- from the Pokemon stuffed toys to the Pokemon card game with the new Pokemon Black and White cards- that are red hot and flying off the shelves.

<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Pokemon story has been developed in an animated TV and film series of course, and also in 'manga' (comic books). But my beef with Pokemon is that unlike Mario or other simple games, the basic premise of Pokemon is quite sophisticated and entertaining, and deserves much better development. Pokemon, as far as I'm concerned, has the potential to be entertaining to adults as well as kids, but so far Nintendo has declined to explore that aspect. The only thing it would need to do is sell the idea to the major film producing companies, which I'm sure would jump at a chance at the project. Given its options, in my opinion Hollywood would definitely be the place to take the idea.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There is a new wave in evolutionary theory known as 'intelligent' design. Natural selection, essentially unchanged since Darwin since first postulated, has simply become for many naturalists too clumsy, too implausible, and 'too dumb.' In the pokemon world, there is really no concept of natural selection either- in fact, it's rather like evolution on steroids. But still, behind the nuts and bolts of how the capabilities of the pokemon work, there still lies, as with all animals, the mystery of how they developed. Some pokemon can spontaneously evolve in mid-life, a concept known as metamorphosis in the insect world (and limited to only a few) and not know elsewhere in life in large part.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Pokemon, such as the new creatures emerging in Pokemon Black and White and already being sold as plush toys, do not actually have their origins in a science fiction scenario of evolution gone wild on some strange planet or in an uncertain future on earth. They actually came from the practice of insect collecting!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[My son is ten now and we live in Japan. As a Mom, I'm not too worried about leaving him alone at the Pokemon Center to window shop for himself. This being Japan, however, I am worried about him getting lost in the huge crowds. So after much deliberation, I figured I should hang out with him here at the Pokemon Center here in Fukuoka. I do confess that after 20 minutes I was pretty much going out of my mind, and said to him point blank, "OK, Jojo, time for us to get a move on," but his look of distress made it clear that physical prodding and subsequent brooding would be what I would have needed to endure to get him out of there.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Pokemon is a phenomenon and kids are going crazy over it. Around the core video game, there is a whole solar system of spinoffs: Pokemon plush toys (Pokemon stuffed toys), pokedolls, Pokemon Zuken and Tomy figures, Pokemon cards and a whole multi-category within that such as legendary Pokemon cards, promo cards, and holofoil cards, not to mention the huge profits being made off the media of Pokemon DVD's, movies, and the TV series.

<description><![CDATA[Pokemon is, fundamentally, a game produced by Nintendo that is popular among boys and teenage boys (mostly) all over the world. For them, much of the 'spinoff' trade of the Pokemon phenomena- the plush dolls, the Pokemon figures, the Zuken figures- is quaint but not particular relevant to their main quest, which is to win the game by becoming a champion. For gamers, the interest and concentration lies in a totally different part of the psyche than it does to a young fan. Their concentration is on strategy and technique vis-a-vis a computer interface, not on the particularities of the characters themselves.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Well, no, not really- not if Nintendo wishes to keep its lucrative spinoff market of Pokemon plush doll (or 'plushies'), stuffed toys, figures (such as Zuken and Tomy figures), and the media line including the animation and the manga going strong. Not only are children not attracted to dark, complex doomsday scenarios, they would just end up frightened by the whole premise and have nightmares.]]></description>
