This has been making the rounds of Facebook today. It's basically a 15 year retrospective on the Pokemon franchise by the LA Times. And it's not completely false either!

They actually have a Pokemon tag, and there's about 5 or 6 articles on there about Pokemon. Enjoy!

I like the Wolfe Glick article. Nice of the author to admit he's got no clue and is basically parroting what he's been told. But it was restated very, very nicely.

And a nice interview with Rizzo.
