First the reason it was made was to let people have some respect for video games. Why people love them so much and how video games can be useful, stuff like Cool math games on the computer because it’s education. Halo because it’s really famous. I have gotten very many and different people to come and work on this magazine. There are lots of articles that have to do with video games.

By Jordan Huang 10­year­old Ash Ketchum claims to have seen the legendary Ho­Oh while attempting to escape from an angry flock of Sparrows with his injured Pikachu. The young boy stated that he and his Pokémon had blacked out after taking a fall, waking up later to witness something that few humans will ever see. The young Pokémon trainer was just setting out on an adventure many children begin once coming of age: the journey to become a Ash Ketchum, the boy who claimed to see Pokémon Master. Ash claimed that, after the legendary Pokémon, with his trusted receiving his first Pokémon and setting out on hisPikachu. journey, things weren’t quite going as planned. “Pikachu was disinclined to acquiesce my numerous requests, and I tried to take matters into my own hands by battling a nearby Spearow,” said Ash during interview. In a terrified attempt to escape the angry swarm of birds, the young trainer was forced to pilfer the bicycle of another young trainer by the name of Misty, who happened to be fishing nearby. “I don’t care what happened to him,” she grumbled in discontent, “If that twerp has wrecked my bike, he’s gonna be in for a world of pain!” Unfortunately for the young water trainerM, isty, a witness to Ash’s escape from the Ash had already destroyed her bicycle in a Spearows, is also a young trainer with a love fevered attempt to escape the angry Sparrows. for water Pokémon. As the birds circled, and the fresh trainer braced, fearing death, his Pikachu sprang up and baffled the swarm with a flash of lightning, knocking out itself and its master as well. As the clouds parted and the duo awoke from their loss of consciousness, they claimed they were greeted with the most extravagant of sights. Ash believes that he saw the legendary Ho­Oh hovering over the forest as the sun rose over the horizon, and, Ash Ketchum, the boy who claimed to see though few choose to believe him, little can be the legendary Pokémon, with his trusted said what about what really happened on this Pikachu. adventurous day.

Jason has a whole bunch of good information about games and pictures of the games. He is a good editor for his magazine because he has ads and he has all the articles spread out all over the magazine. He also got a lot of help from his friends and workers. Sincerely, Zachary Wahlfeld Dear Magazine editor: I just recently read your last magazine issue. Upon reading it, I had a major disagreement with your “fact” about the best games. You confidently stated that, quote “The best game series ever is Halo.” I have reason and evidence that in most copies ever bought for one gaming franchise is Legend of Zelda.

  • Using Heroes
    HEROES Once you have a good understanding of the fantasy world that your child relates to it can also be a great bridge to explaining things that may seem difficult. Using our heroes as role models is as common in Heroes can also help children and young adulthood as it in in childhood... children may play at people to understand different traits and being Harry Potter but adults too may secretly imagine concepts. that they are Gwyneth Paltrow when they buy their health foods, or Whitney Houston when they are Dumbledore from Harry Potter says this of singing in the shower! bravery… "It is our choices, Harry, that show what Identifying a hero can be really helpful especially when we truly are, far more than our abilities." we are not sure what to do. We can reflect on what — Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the our hero may do in the same situation. Chamber of Secrets And the man himself on happiness… It is important to talk to youngsters to find out what they think about their heroes as this may not be what “But you know, happiness can be found we think.

This way of relating to others can also be done by using other keen interests such as the natural world or science.

  • The Chariot Edition 6 Pokémon Edition
    1 The Chariot Edition 6 Pokémon Edition The Marketing Strategies of Pokémon The Peculiar Gaming Youngster Joey by Joe Cullen The non-player characters in Pokémon are always interesting. Some have legitimately well-written dialogue that makes players chuckle; others are so bizarre that they garner only cringes. A few characters, however, straddle this line with ambiguity. Perhaps best known for this is Youngster Joey of the Johto Pokémon games. Encountered on Route 30 of Johto, Joey battles with only a level 4 Rattata. To battle with such a weak Pokémon is like trying to come back from a 28-3 deficit in the Super Bowl (oh wait–maybe that’s not the best example). Anyways, what he lacks for in good Pokémon he makes up for in confidence, claiming in his constant it is already an entirely new game. either: Lucasfilm and Disney used by Josiah Taylor phone calls to the player that his This is shown through Pokémon. it in the new Star Wars movies to Rattata is in “the top percentage of The conformity of the mainline please fans by replicating major Geographical landscape Rattata.” story mode among the games is plot points.

  • Pokémon: the Games Behind the Phenomenon and Phenomenon Behind the Games Walter Shen
    Pokémon: The Games Behind the Phenomenon and Phenomenon Behind the Games Walter Shen Pokémon. Perhaps the most widely recognized word in the industrialized world in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. For some people, hearing that word reminds them of a worldwide phenomenon that they love. For others, it engenders a feeling of extreme dislike. But regardless of how people feel about it, one thing is for certain, almost everybody has heard about it. What is Pokémon? It’s hard to say. It’s a phenomenon. It’s a card game, a stuffed toy line, a fruit snack, a collector’s card set, a monthly comic book, a candy, a role-playing game, a bunch of plastic figures, a collection of posters on the wall, a cartoon, and a newspaper comic strip. It’s also the best thing to ever happen and the worst thing to ever happen, a way to educate children and a distraction in schools, and a demonic game for heathens and a game blessed by the Pope. Pokémon is many things, but at its heart, it’s just a good, solid video game. The basic premise of Pokémon (as delineated in the video games for Nintendo’s Game Boy: Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, Pokémon Yellow, Pokémon Silver, and Pokémon Gold) is that the world is full of Pokémon (note that Pokémon is both the singular and plural form), or “Pocket Monsters,” that each has special skills. The world is also full of Pokémon trainers that go around capturing and then training the Pokémon for various reasons: ranging anywhere from personal gain to love of Pokémon.

A POKÉBALANCING ACT: THE MANAGEMENT OF JAPANESE CULTURAL “ODOR” IN POKÉMON NICHOLAS RAES 216 Pages In this project, I analyzed two seasons of the Pokémon anime to discover patterns of cultural “odor” management employed by the show’s producers and editors. In the first season of Pokémon , the producers of the anime included many symbolic representations of Japanese cultural artifacts within the visual features of the show. However, between the Japanese and US versions of the season, most instances of Japanese linguistic text were either “scrubbed” from scenes entirely or replaced with English text. These techniques struck a careful balance between including and excluding Japanese specificity within the first season, subtly expressing to non- Japanese audiences the Japanese origin of the show. However, in the twentieth season, producers removed symbolic representations of Japanese culture almost entirely – replacing these instead with symbols indicative of Hawaiian culture.

  • Pokémon in Organized Crime
    Letter from the Chair Hello, Pokémon Trainers! I welcome you all, with building anticipation and excitement, to the first PokéMUN session at the fourth annual Winchester Model United Nations conference (​and it’s virtual!) My name is Elina Chen, and I will be serving as your Chair for this specialized committee. I am currently a senior at Winchester High School, and this is my fourth year in the school’s Model United Nations Club, which I now serve as a club officer for. I have overseen previous committee sessions at WinMUN, and I regularly attend national Model UN conferences each year as well. Aside from being a member of MUN, I am also the president of the school’s Anime Club. I take pride in being an otaku, and Pokémon was the first anime I ever watched as I grew up, although it was quite a long time ago. PokéMUN will be a learning experience for me, so if anyone feels nervous about their lack of Pokémon knowledge, don’t worry! People all over the world fear that societal order will collapse due to the power imbalance that comes with the introduction of Pokémon, and are calling for immediate actions to implement regulations for moderating this uncontrolled power. During the committee sessions, we will be discussing one of the two topics provided to you: Pokémon Labor Rights and Pokémon Organized Crime. There will not be any specific storyline you need to follow, since you will be writing the stories yourselves with the background guide as a foundation. Everyone will have their individual stances on each of the topics, and your goal will be to pass regulations in your favor.
