late 80's

If you had said in th late 1980's that cute and scary little monsters would take America by storm on cards, video games, TV, and the big screen by 1999, you would've been put in an insane asylum. But look at them now! 2007 and still going strong. 493 Pokemon and counting. I know for a fact that they will make it to 1,000 pokemon by 2015. It's not just a fad, it's bigger than Mario. It's going to make it to 1,000 or more before it's finished. Hell, the kids that play Pokemon right now might have their own kids playing Pokemon when they're 7-40 too. Then the parents can tell their kids stories about when Pokemon first came around in 1998 in America. I'm listing Green Day's Good Riddance [Time Of Your Life] and Wake Me Up When September Ends so I'm getting a little choked up right now.

You probably read this somewhere else by now, I was on Spring Break so I didn't post for a while. Sonic and Mario are going to the 2008 Olympics together.

I really want a side-scrolling Mario game on a home system right now, oh well.
