I 
 am working at a camp this summer and a lot of the kids are really into 
 Pokemon (a series I still have not seen) The most important things is that 
 the kids actually know Pokemon comes from Japan. Many of them have Japanese 
 Pokemon cards so I think that we have a good chance of Otakuzing a decent 
 part of the younger generations. >>

theres not a chance in hell that we will be able to do that
one reason is needed and only one 
the kids are convinced that it is only a cartoon, that what they are watching 
is the original and that nothing has been cut or changed, if we were to give 
them it subbed they would not like it nearly as much due to the "changes" 
that we made to the dialog and the stuff that "we" added for teh subbed 
release.
same reason why if you give a kid sailor moon ronin warriors or DBZ in its 
original form they wont like it as much. the newest gen is convinced of the 
role of "cartoons"
beleive me i work at a comic shop that sells pokemon cards(both versions) and 
i hear many many many freakin times that the children think its from japan 
but the english version is the "real" version.
U2R
hates kids and their idiotic rationalizations
