*ding ding!*
SATOSHI: *sigh* <shakes head> You know, It's not like the Rant section is
horrible or anything, but lately it's been taken over by Nit-Pickers.
Look at the rant posted on 4/30. This guy gets all hot under the collar
just because one of the pojo writers made an error while describing
Ivysaur's card. Well, guess what? WE'RE HUMAN!!!!! I don't know if he meant
'Pojo Writers' as someone that wrote a strategy article, or someone that has
a Garage, writes for the mag, etc. but it's it really doesn't matter. We are
all human. We make mistakes. Live with it.
Seriously, guys. If you're gonna rant, make it worth our while. If there is
something wrong with where you play, tell us what you think they should do
to fix it. If someone plays without any thought to the rules at the Pokemon
League, tell us what you think they should do about it. For example, I
ranted(on more than one occasion) about how Archtypes should not be banned.
To strenghten my argument, I wrote articles in the my garage about how to
beat the Big Bad Three.
The rant area was created for trainers to blow of steam, but it slowly
turned into a forum for "I hate this, I hate that" articles that have no
purpose.
Someone complained about how some people 'animate' the pokemon atttacks
(i.e. Charmander, go! Scratch attack!!) I must say, this is pointless. WHY
DO YOU CARE? It's just something to do in exceedingly long games. If it
bothers you, ask your opponent to stop. But if you brought this up just to
rant....
For all I know, this won't be posted, however, I hope it is. The rant
articles that have no purpose (which, believe it or not, is not all of them)
make all of us look like a disgruntled group of children. And that is the
last thing we want to be pictured as...isn't it?

SATOSHI: Before I sign out, I'd like to address the Poke-Haters of the
world: If you're gonna hate a card game/hobby, then please get a better
argument than "it's dumb" or "it's for kids." These got old after about the
10th time they were used. Hey, guess what? The argument "it's satanic" won't
work anymore!! Know why? The Pope gave the game a papal blessing! What are
they going to do? Say that the Pope was brainwashed? Besides, even if
Pokemon was done for, you know all of you would just go find something else
to rave about endlessly. It's in your nature.

That's all for now. See ya'll at the Shop. Good Luck and Happy Gaming!!
