Hey, did anyone catch today's Fox Trot? I think Pokémon is still hangin' in there as geekily cool. Bill Amend, so far, has hit on LOTR, Star Wars, YGO, and now Pokémon!
Foxtrot is a comic strip by Bill Amend. The story focuses around a family with a Homer-like dad, a romantically-inclined yet temperamental mom, a teenybopper teenage daughter, a lazy jock son, and a geek younger son who has a pet iguana named Quincy.
EDIT: Just noticed that Mr. Amend remembered to include the ' over the "é" in "pokémon". He should be commended for his political correctness.
Yeah, and if you don't get it in your area, just take a glance at the link above for a few days to read a few episodes and you'll get hooked, trust me. You can also keep up with other cartoons too, if you explore the site; they update daily.
I keep up with Baldo, for example, since I moved and no longer get that comic anymore.
