Gotta Catch Em All

I'm a huge fan of Pokemon. I remember back in like, seventh grade, when I had blue and my friend had red. I remember when I had to 'borrow' my friend's Charizard to defeat a realllllyy hard gym leader, and then told him I accidentally set it free when in actuality, I just kept it.

Yesss, in those days we would watch Ash Ketchum and his pal Pikachu go on many adventures. We (..I definitely did) would wonder why the hell Misty would carry that stupid Togepi around with her or why Brock was such an asshole sometimes.

Those were the days.

...Now fast forward to the present. You're in Chile. You see that the nation's youth has decided to take this innocent anime and turn it into something, well, completely different. Calling themselves 'Pokemones', these 15-16ish year olds, with their dyed hair and pierced..faces are a rebelious group that engage in mass public orgies known as ponceo. Why do they do it? Cause they aren't big fans of their conservative parents or their political leaders. Why do they call themselves Pokemones? Who the hell knows.

What I do know is that these kids are turning the little creates I loved love to collect into a sick game to piss their parents off. Shame on you Chilean youth...shame on you.
