Monsters in your pocket

After all the high-key events have been over and done with, the inhabitants of Section 2 decided to chill out and think of something to play. After some discussion about childhood toys and experiences, Zhi Yu brought up the topic of Pokemon, which we all know and love so much eons ago. Those cute (and some not so cute) monsters and like which live inside our Gameboys and Nintendo DS. Those were the days when most of the kids all were seen walking around with their parents holding a Gameboy to play regardless whether are walking, eating, talking or even sleeping. The thrill of training up 6 different Pokemon to use to defeat countless baddies and irritating villains was just the norm last time. Now with all the new versions coming out, Diamond, Sapphire, Platinum, Gold, the list goes on and on and on, but the love of these characters never seems to cease.

Once the whole franchise expanded into the virtual world, it began to influence the card game industry, and the Pokemon Trading Card Game began its rule over the whole world(or the gamer world at least). It started out with the very first 151 Pokemon cards, then came all the millions and gazillion more newer cards and Pokemon.
Finally, just about a week ago, the old interest of this game got revived in the bunk and now, more and more Pokemon card decks are starting to appear. Daryl even spent money just to buy his very own starter deck just to join in the fun. I myself don't have any deck to start with, but Zong Han kindly lent me his incredible grass-type deck(for obvious reasons =P) and the Pokemon fire just got bigger and bigger with each passing day. I won't be surprised that there will be a tournament of sorts held in our bunk due to the sheer number of decks being brought in. So imagine 20 year old guys (all commanders-to-be, mind you) gathered around a table, with cards spread out and flipping coins, just to pass the time. What a wonderful way to bid farewell to the 2 months of training we all have gone through.

Anyways, I have downloaded the old Pokemon Trading Card Game into my computer, so despite having no physical deck on hand, I have my own virtual one! =P Oh man, can you say peer pressure?
