Pokemon players

There's a really cute story by Penny Arcade's Gabe this week. It seems he went along to a Pokemon tournament at his local mall, expecting to find a lot of guys his age, way more seriously into Pokemon than he was. Reality was slightly different.

But what I also liked about his story was something I noted myself when my son was majorly into Pokemon: it's a very engaging world, with cute monsters, a good competition ethic, and it engenders in the kids an enthusiasm that is very positive and nice to behold. Nice to see it continues!
