I just don't get it! What is it with Pokemon? My ASD loves Pokemon. When he was younger he had Pokemon cards, where he constantly played with them. I don't understand what the big attraction is, it is all confusing to me.
I remember he would take the cards to school and play this confusing card game, that made absolutely no sense to me. When my son got older he had the game on his Nintendo DS machine,which meant he would spend hours playing it!!! It also meant he took his DS machine to school on selected days where the kids could play with their DS games. My son used to really excited on those special days as some of the kids had Pokemon games.
Thinking back is it because the characters represented something and they were constantly changing. Or is it because they had unusual names like Charmander,Pikachu or Squirtle and the names go on. He just loved Pokemon and still does. Maybe it was that represented the elements Fire, water, earth and wind this was very appealing to him and he especially loved it when a new Pokemon evolved.
Pokemon was certainly a hit in our house.. But I don't get it!!!!

Annette, my husband discovered "Second Life" - an online world / computer game when he had time off in the last school holidays and I do not get this at all. I wandered out the other night and he's line dancing! Something he wouldn't be seen dead doing in real life lol.
ReplyDeleteMy son likes Pokemon too but only the games. My younger NT son collected the cards for a while when he was younger. And no I don't get that either :)
