PokemonGO hits NYC My-Sweet-Home!
PokemonGO is the summer's new emerging fad among kids and older kids/twenty-somethings. They're all walking around town trying to catch the Pikachu of their dreams. If it were that simple, we would have had something like PokemonGO for everything we do, right? Like food and google maps!
The game has Pokemon battle functions there also so some willing trainers may want to fight. If you both agree to a duel, you match your Pokemon with theirs to grow their stats, if you win. The battles can happen anywhere the two players are so they're added to the game's interface capability. Even if you don't battle just playing adds to the PokemonGO system.
It kind of makes us wonder, will Pokemon come out with a DS game with better and more things to do. It would already have been geocached to myriads of millions of places and tech. So play as much PokemonGO as you want and you'll become a Pokemon master before Christmas!

JRPG: Caption Caution
Technically speaking, the Pokemon card game was the most popular RPG card game and trading card game. Each type of card had its own HP, MP, and strategic moves. The play pitted one person's Pokemon against the playable traits of the other person's hand. With dice and special pieces, there were the additions of ailments or powers. It was one of the best RPG and there were mall tournaments all across Japan and North America where enthusiasts played their custom deck against others. A true RPG is one that can be played slower, like cards. Maybe one that can be played fast or real time, reminiscent of Kingdom Hearts or SMRPG. Those games didn't allow reaction time errors on the level of milliseconds, maybe more mechanically in SMRPG.

Pokemon is not dead yet!
How many of your friends have admitted to loving Pokemon as a kid? Just about everyone was on the Pokemon bandwagon, right? But then eventually, like all fads, Pokemon (in the US) faded into obscurity. Diamond/Pearl series is only for hardcore fans of Pocket Monsters (and elementary school kids). But in Japan Pokemon is just another anime. It has a following similar to Dragon Ball Z or other long-running series'. Why else would Japan make a whooping 660+ episodes?
Pokemon is far from being old-news to enthusiasts in Japan. And because of that, many Pokemon crossover videos have surfaced on Nico. Check some of them out!
Clannad - Pikachu Daikazoku
Naruto Shippuuden Op 2 - Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Style
Ash Ketchum Fukkireta
So my (and Ash's) advice for you? Don't underestimate the popularity of Pokemon!

An interesting note
When I was a kid in around 2000, my dad took me and my brother to the first Pokemon movie. We watched it and I think he fell asleep during the movie. As a kid and even now I wondered if people like my father even understood what they were watching... Were they just too old, too outdated, and too out of it to understand the greatness of Pokemon?? Well being an ex-Pokemon master (since now there's over 300) I looked at the trailer below of the newest Pokemon movie and thought to myself, "What the hell is goin on in this??", "What are these animals, if not 'Pokemon'", "What is the point (plot)?!". Interesting. Though I'm still an anime officionado, I might be out of it. So nowadays I can't really look down on my pops for fallin asleep...hahaha

Welcome to
The Otaku Reviewers
The Otaku Reviewers
This blog, "The Otaku Reviewers", was started in February of 2010 on this very same platform, Blogger. At first, it was a venture into the informational and informal world of comics, anime, video games, and Japanese culture. In other words, just a random blog.
Over time, the founder of the blog credited with the pseudonym "RPGhero" was joined by two fellow bloggers and friends with the names "Chansu" and "Deretsun". Together the three bloggers looked up interesting Japanese culture facts, recommended new anime, talked about their own "otaku" interests, and traveled across the United States to various anime conventions.
There have been off periods when the blog ceased production of content and there have been times when there would be dozens of blog posts per week. The schedule varies depending on the lives of the people behind the alias'. However the pattern is that we always get back into the game with even newer information about Japanese culture, anime, video games, and other nerdy hobbies.
The motto of our blog is:
"A cure for your apathy and an inspiration for your dreams. ...Applies to Otaku, anime fans, J-pop junkies, and the like"
The purpose is to blog about cool stuff related solely to anime and otaku stuff. There's no other reason we're doing this.
