i choose you, pikachu.

"Gotta catch 'em all!" Who can forget that iconic quote? Ash Ketchem (get it??) was a man for the ages. Along with his trusty sidekick, the always cute pikachu, Ash lead us all through crazy-cool adventures on his way to catching all 151 pokemon and becoming a pokemon master. His truimphs over the evil and really dumb team rocket were legendary. When the pokemon games came out on gameboy, I nearly peed my pants I was so excited. The imagination of an entire generation was captured by these cute and cuddly creatures. Who needed real friends when you had pokemon like pikachu, charmander, bulbasaur, and squirtle? You just can't go wrong with something as cool as pokemon. So here is my assignment: Which pokemon is your favorite, and why? Feel free to mention any unforgettable moments with your companions, and play-by-play accounts of epic battles with that annoying bastard Gary are, of course, welcome.
