For Parents

Well, you must be one of those one million parents who has a son/daughter that is totally crazed with POKEMON. "Is it healthy for my child?" you wonder.

Yes, Pokemon is a show where it teaches your kids about all the aspects of raising them into a healthy adult. It is not only a show where little creatures come and say "PIKA PIKA!" Pokemon teaches your children about RESPONSIBILTY, COURAGE, BELIEVING IN SELF, FRIENDSHIP, KINDNESS, AND SORROW. Pokemon is not just a flash in a plan, it is a great role model show for kids.

What is Pokemon anyways?
It is a show about a young ten year old boy named Ash who raises Pokemon. (pocket monsters) He goes around training them, trying to make them strong. (this teaches the child resonsibility) His favorite Pokemon, Pikachu and him are best friends, and they care so much for each other. (this shows us friendship and kindness)

There was one episode where Ash's rival, Gary Oak as put down Ash by calling him a loser about only catching few Pokemon. Ash gets really upset, but once he believed in himself, he was able to catch more Pokemon. (this teaches us believing in oneself)

Pokemon also teaches the kids many facts. It is a great show for younger people. It teaches them such things as how electricity is an insulator for water, and many things. Some kids even do better in school because of this show.

There was one time in in Canada where Pokemon went too far, and somebody even got killed for it. It happened when somebody was trying to get some Pokemon cards back from somebody who stole them from another person, and this theif ended up stabbing the person. Don't let your child do that!!!!

Well, this is 14 year old Meowth Girl hoping that this has helped some parents understand! Parents, if you have any of your opinions, please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]

Bye for now!
