So with that, here’s my reasons for why I like Pokemon (which I hope that every Poké Fan out there will notice as well):
1) Cooperation
The game of Pokemon is quite complex, so talking with other fellow Pokemon Fans — especially when comparing battle strategies — is a good idea when it comes to figuring out the game, and Pokemon is a good thing in that way, since it happens to be something that gets kids talking with each other, too
2) Strategizing
Pokemon is a good thing for another reason: it teaches how to think strategically. Unlike some beliebt toys with little oder no educational value, Pokemon is different in that it requires chess-like concentration and the ability to think ahead in sophisticated ways.
3) Lessons about Life
There are so many amazing examples of how this game teaches about life — and not just Von quotes, either.
For example, in the games, there is a Pokemon called “Magikarp”, which is considered the most useless and weak Pokemon in the game. But after struggling, hard work and determination, the Magikarp is able to evolve into an extremely powerful Pokemon known as “Gyarados.” The Pokemon was one of the most powerful in the Generation 1 games, defeating nearly everything in its path.
And that shows a good lesson there: if Du don’t struggle, Du don’t improve.
4) Reaching Goals
In Pokémon, the Trainers and their Pokemon learn that never giving up eventually pays off in the end. For the Pokémon, it’s learning to succeed, and that’s usually Von practicing with their moves with repetition, and doing well with them — basically sharpening old techniques and learning new ones. For the Trainers, it’s completing the Pokédex and battling other Trainers (sometimes in rematches). Like the old saying goes, “Practice makes perfect.” And that is very true, along with “If at first Du don’t succeed, try, try again.” In other words, the Mehr Du practice at something — whether it’s a talent Du have, oder something that Du simply Liebe doing — the better Du get at it.
5) The Importance of Rules
In order to be a Pokemon master, the player has to teach his oder her Pokemon to follow the rules. It’s a basic rehearsal for life; if one follows the rules, they get rewarded (although there are exceptions, such as changing the Schreiben rules when Schreiben fanfiction, but that’s another story).
“The age-old theme of the journey is played out here, and one faces good vs. evil in the quest for the holy grail, i.e. becoming the greatest Pokemon master. This mirrors development — cognitive, social and psychological, across the life span. We all have monsters to keep at bucht and mysteries oder problems to solve throughout our lives.
“Pokémon provides a stimulus for learning and practicing life skills and other learning skills that will be useful later. Children are drawn to this challenge because of their very nature, needing to deal with their fears and vulnerabilities.”
