At my local mall, there is a guy that is absolutely nuts over Pokemon. Everytime I see him, we get into a conversation about Pokemon, even though I am not that well-versed with the franchise. That's okay...I get up-to-speed everytime I see him!

Just yesterday, he was talking all about the preorder bonus for Pokemon Platinum. He has his game paid off already, and can't wait to get his figurine! The excitement on his face and in his voice made me realize that I'm missing out on something big here. I really need to put aside some time and get back into Pokemon like I used to be.
