Default A quick little Pokémon FTW story from this morning

I stopped by a Borders bookstore, not expecting much. After browsing, I picked up five Pokémon books and headed up to the register to purchase them. After quick mix-up of which register was taking which person in line, I set my books down.

"Are you a Pokémon fan?", the about 40-year-old woman asks. Surprised, I reply "I sure am!" and then she offers a high-five, which I respond to. Then my dad comes over, who was shopping for his own books, asking "What are you buying? Pokémon?" The cashier responds, "Yes he is. Pokémon stuff is the BEST!"

Just thought I'd share this experience with everyone. Don't you just love the most random places you'll find Pokémon fans?

Wow! I guess this really shows that there are fans of all ages. Sounds like a memorable encounter to have.

Pfft. The best I've got is:
'Oh you have one of those? I'm addicted to that brain game... what was it now?'
While I was playing Soul Silver. 'Cuz I'm hardcore.

Sounds like they were just talking about your DS, not necessary the imported Pokémon game.

Obviously. Nobody comments on Pokémon 'round here (Unless you're lucky and get the awesome Gamestation clerk). If I buy anything video game related from a non-video-game shop the people on the other side of the counter have no clue what I'm buying.

That reminds me of the dumbass at the game counter of a Toy's "R" Us who reffered to the Wii as the GameCube Revolution despite the fact the Wii had been the announced name for a coupla weeks.

Crap. You sure are lucky.

If I buy something pokemon-related, I either get the passive 'that'll be so-an-so dollars', or the 'wha?' expression.

Nonetheless, that's awesome.
