gotta catch 'em all

   The past week my grade has rediscovered their love for a childhood game. Pokemon. The fever has caught on all over again. You'll see kids walking down the hall with their gameboys bumping into people and not even looking up. Red, Blue, Gold, Fire, Ruby, or Saphirre, doesn't matter what version you own, everyone has dug up the games from their past. I laughed at first when I saw my classmates playing their gameboys during class, and thought of it as stupid until i got home that night.

    I dug out my old Gameboy and starting looking through some old games. That's when i started to remember how fun it was. When I found my dusty pokemon cartridge i spent a good minute blowing it all off then plugged it in. The theme song clicked on and immediately brought me back to 5th grade. I started over and deleted my old game partly because of the fact it was filled with all sorts of pokemon I had named in 5th grade, like my level 55 charizard dubbed "boobs".

   Once I started I couldn't stop. I forgot all about my homework and 3 hours later I was stuck in Saffron City with a blastoise that wouldn't even obey me. I realized how my grade could become so sucked in to the game, so practiced a little restraint and put the game back into the bottom of my closet so i could begin to study for finals, I don't think I'll be getting sucked back into pokemon for a while though.
