Pokemon: The Concert

How do celebrate ten years of Pokemon? With an orchestra, that's now. Club Nintendo sends word of a classic concert that features wall-to-wall Pokemon tunes. The event strikes up a tune in Tokyo at the MIELPARQUE on October 28th, at Well City in Kitakyushu City on November 5th, the Hyogo Performing Arts Center in Nishinomiya on November 12th and the Well City in Sapporo on December 10th. Considering my deep, bitter hate for all things Poke, I've tried to have an open mind about this, but passively being forced to listen to Pokemon DVDs my kid watching everyday, several times a day, I'm miffed (and slightly pissed). Somebody please explain what the appeal is here. Brian Ashcraft

Postscript: If the concert is anything like this, I will so go.

Listen To Pikachu [Club Nintendo, Thanks Josh!]
