Going back to a game I touched upon in the beginnings of Kickass McAwesome, Pokemon. I'll admit it now like I admitted it back then I play the Pokemon games. I have to catch them all.
While I have no problem admitting this in the anonymity of the intronets I will say I feel a little awkward when I buy a new version of Pokemon. While I was with my friends coming home from PAX we stopped by Target so we could pick up a few things. I went to grab a copy of Soul Silver but seeing as this was Target the games are under lock and key. Here enters the first situation where I have to let a total stranger know I want a Pokemon game. Thankfully to my surprise the college aged girl that opened the games for me said picked up Heart Gold the other day. Always nice to meet another person my age still playing Pokemon. Then I had to go to pay for my new game. I placed the game on the counter and the much older cashier looks at me, then looks at my single purchase and asks, "Do you want a gift receipt?" No, it's for me.
