Fark.comTop 10 Pokemon We'd Like to Eat - GameDaily
My sordid affair with Pokemon spans 10 full years, six of which were spent estranged and bitter at the hyper-collectible bastards. No matter how much you play, there's always tons more to accomplish. This leads to many gamers giving up and moving on to something more immediately satisfying. Then you're inevitably pulled back in by one of the sequels - in my case it was Pokemon Diamond, a game so impossibly deep that you could literally spend years playing nothing else.
You can write hundreds of articles about a game like that. There's just so much to see, do and share. We've been quite thorough with our coverage, from shiny guides to weekly Pokemusings articles that span every conceivable topic in the Poke-verse. I was quite pleased with our broad content, thinking we'd pretty much said everything there was to say. Then I saw GameDaily's "Top 10 Pokemon We'd Like to Eat."
Damn it. Now we can never do this, and it's such a great idea. Of course Ash, Misty and the rest have to eat Pokemon, because they're the only animals you ever see in the game - I wonder how delicious a slice of Legendary Kyogre Pie would be. This does make me wonder if all the Poke-people are vegetarian, eating only byproducts and not flesh. Surely they don't breed, train and then eat their special partners. Ho-Oh eggs, perhaps?
Two complaints. First, no Jigglypuff. That is one tasty looking Poke-pastry. I'd chow down on that sweetness anytime. Second, these gallery features shamelessly enforce tons of clicks for an article with very little text. We post a lot of similar stuff at GamesRadar, but we certainly write more than three sentences per page.
Then again, it's a winning formula and if they want to exploit it, more power.
