YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY KETTLES MY GOLDEEN? TRAINERS THESE DAYS NOT DOING THINGS THE RIGHT WAY!<\/p>\n
JUST LOOK AT THESE WHIPPERSNAPPERS THESE DAYS. YOU EVER SEE A GOOD OLD FASHIONED POK\u00c9MON BATTLE DONE FOR THE SAKE OF GRINDING? YOU\u2019LL BE LUCKY TO NOW! INSTEAD OF MAKING THEIR POK\u00c9MON FIGHT EACH OTHER TO THE NEAR DEATH OR BEYOND FOR A FEW HUNDRED EXPERIENCE POINTS, THEY JUST SHOVE THEM INTO THE DAY CARE! THE DAY CARE! IT DOESN\u2019T SEEM TO MATTER TO THEM THAT IT\u2019S A RIGHT RIP OFF \u2013 THEY TAKE YOUR\u00a0MONEY EVEN IF THEY DIDN\u2019T GO UP IN LEVEL AND THEN TRY TO PALM OFF THEIR UNCOOKED BREAKFAST TO YOU! RAW EGGS ARE TERRIBLE! BUT I DIGRESS. RATHER THAN TAKE CARE OF THEIR POK\u00c9MON THEMSELVES THEY PAY OTHERS TO DO IT FOR THEM. WHAT LAZINESS!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
OR WORSE YET, THEY SHOVE THEM INTO THOSE POK\u00c9WALKER THINGAMAJIGS AND THEN THEY JUST TAKE A WALK! THAT\u2019S HOW THE MODERN TRAINER TRAINS THESE DAYS \u2013 THEY JUST GO FOR A WALK WITHOUT BEATING UP HELPLESS RATTATA ON THE WAY. AND THEN IT MAKES THOSE ANNOYING BEEPING NOISES! I HATE IT WHEN THEY DON\u2019T DISABLE THE SOUND WHEN THEY PLAY THE THING LIKE A DARN GAME BOY. WHAT\u2019S THE FUN IN THAT? BEEP BOOP WHOOPS I FAINTED. NOT AS COOL SOUNDING AS A FLAMETHROWER TO THE FACE!<\/p>\n
I GUESS IT\u2019S NOT ENTIRELY THEIR FAULT THOUGH. SOCIETY IS TO BLAME! FIRST THEY LOADED THE KIDS WITH CASH SO THEY COULD GO AND AFFORD THE EASY WAY, AND THEN PROVIDED THESE STUPID GADGETS! AND THESE ITEMS! WHEN WILL THE PUBLIC LEARN THAT IT\u2019S ALL FALSE ADVERTISING THESE DAYS? TAKE RARE CANDIES FOR INSTANCE. A TRAINER WILL TYPICALLY RAM THEM DOWN A POK\u00c9MON\u2019S THROAT UNTIL IT GETS SO FAT IT CAN\u2019T BE KNOCKED OUT. THAT’S\u00a0INSTEAD OF DOING IT THE OLD FASHIONED\u00a0WAY –\u00a0WHACKING ITS HEAD AGAINST A TREE UNTIL IT STOPPED FAINTING EACH TIME.\u00a0 BUT WHAT\u2019S SO RARE ABOUT THEM? YOU FIND THESE THINGS DOWN ANY COMMON ROAD NOW! THEY SHOULD CALL IT COMMON MAKES-YOU-FAT CANDY! THERE\u2019S MORE SUGAR IN ONE OF THOSE SUCKERS THAN A SNORLAX!<\/p>\n
OR LUCKY EGGS. WHAT IS SO DARN LUCKY ABOUT THEM? YOU KEEP IT FOR SO LONG IT\u2019S PROBABLY GONE ROTTEN ALREADY! GRANTED, THEY GET YOU BONUS EXP BUT WHAT\u2019S SO RARE ABOUT THEM WHEN PROFESSORS GO ABOUT HANDING THEM OFF LIKE CHEESE TO TRAINERS THESE DAYS!? I\u2019M LOOKING AT YOU, PROFESSOR JUNIPER! NOBODY IS AS GOOD AS PROFESSOR OAK, BUT THAT\u2019S ANOTHER RANT!<\/p>\n
AND NOW THEY HAVE THESE POWER ITEMS! WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THOSE? SOMEONE TRIED TO SELL ME ONE , THE CHEEK OF HIM. WANTED MY BATTLE POINTS, WHATEVER THEY ARE, SO I SHOWED HIM MY SCARS OF VICTORY! THEN HE TRIED TO TELL ME THAT THEY\u2019RE GOOD FOR EEVEE TRAINING! WHAT A STINKING LIAR! I NEVER SAW ONE WILD EEVEE WHEN I USED IT, AND WHEN I PUT IT ON MINE IT COULDN\u2019T WALK ANYWHERE IT WAS SO HEAVY! IT MAKES FOR A GOOD WAY TO KEEP IT IN PLACE SO IT WON\u2019T RUN OFF AGAIN, BUT NOTHING ELSE!<\/p>\n
IT\u2019S JUST RIDICULOUS! BACK IN MY DAY, WE ONLY HAD ONE ITEM WE COMMONLY USED AND THEY WERE STICKS! THIS TECHNIQUE TAUGHT POK\u00c9MON RIGHT FROM WRONG AND THEY ENDED UP BETTER FOR IT! NONE OF THESE FANCY HOLD ITEMS EITHER, NO SIR! WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO PUT BLACK GLASSES ON A ZUBAT OR MAKE SOMETHING HOLD A BERRY? THEY JUST EAT YOUR LUNCH IF YOU DO THAT! SO MUCH FOR USING POK\u00c9MON FOR SAFEKEEPING! OR LEFTOVERS! YOU EVER WONDER WHY THEY ARE CALLED THAT AND NEVER GET USED UP? IT\u2019S BECAUSE WHATEVER IT IS IT DOWNRIGHT STINKS! NO RIGHT THINKING POK\u00c9MON IS GOING TO FINISH ITS MEAL IF IT\u2019S OFFERED THAT!<\/p>\n
NO, I\u2019M STAYING AWAY FROM THESE ITEMS. THEY\u2019RE ALL JUST A WAY TO MAKE TRAINERS BUY MORE JUNK AND GIVE MONEY TO THE CORPORATIONS. LET\u2019S JUST HOPE THEY DON\u2019T TRY TO MARKET IT TO THE CHILDREN! I BET THAT\u2019S HOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TRAIN THEIR POK\u00c9MON NEXT \u2013 JUST SIT DOWN AND PLAY A VIDEO GAME INSTEAD OF TRAINING THEIR POK\u00c9MON THE RIGHT WAY!<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
