Is there more to Pokemon than meets the eye?

What I mean is do you think Pokemon has some kind of mystery behind it, just waiting to be solved? To explain this better I mean how many franchises can go through a seizure episode (Porygon episode), a character being claimed raciest(Jynx), baby chocking on a ball(poke'ball) then that item has to be recalled from the resturant, etc... I mean I know Pokemon has had it's bad moments but it has also had its good moments too. Like, how many franchises can be so good they have a hit T.V show that has stayed very populer for quite awhile,a t.c.g league,video games,toys, etc.. and have been around for 10 years(at least for Japan). Also, fans like Pokemon so much they won't give up on it (saving the original voice actors). I mean Pokemon has got to be one of the most populer T.V shows on the planet. Pokemon has to be pretty special to survive through all of that and more. So, what do you think does Pokemon have something more to offer then what people have noticed or am I just going a little to deep into things?

Well, it may be more to you if you want it to be. Using your imagination will expand what it is and you will therefore find more to it than just entertainment. Example: if you're a true fan, you get really connected and find other ways that it could relate to your style or habits.
Click to expand...

I totally agree with you Comis Patronus! I love to create Pokemon teams that relate to my hobbies and fovorite places.

It's just pure entertainment... you also could get attached to the characters as if they were real somehow.

Yes, it's some kind of government conspiracy to brainwash the children of the world with small cute animals that have magic powers.

Or, it's just entertaining :s

Yes.

That question is the very point of my existance. The true gem of Pokemon is not the games, not the movies, the show, the manga, the anything...it's the potential. Pokemon is one of those rare things that means something different for every single fan. There are no clear cut boundaries to its universe.

I, myself, spend my time devising thoeries about Pokemon biology and how certain technologies work and have even dabbled in the ancient history of the three regions and their government, and the true role of the Legendaries. Other people, however, have their own perceptions about how that world works. For example, a friend of mine devises flight/running speed and patterns for Pokemon and then rides them.

Imagination in the key.

Pokemon has the cute and the fierce. The morals and the battles. The real-life and the fantasy. Everyone sees it differently, which is why its appeal stretches so far.

well in some episodes it has a moral like in the diglet episode jessie and james cared so much about their pokemon that they evolved for them and the episode recently shown in america called hail to the chef had a moral too.

Pokemon survived its fad, it is now an iconic image that will not go away.
In japan it was like this, however for it to achieve it in the US is even more impressive.

The thing is it keeps appealing newer fans, and while it looses most of their older fans it doesn't actually loose all of them so it keeps fans of all ages. most franchises can't do this.

I don't think there is really much more than what they are shown to be, except for the things created by fans/opponents of Pokemon. Jynx wasn't created to be a racist Pokemon, but that one lady made her out to be, so many people agreed with her. If you want to think that "this is the way that Butterfree breeds" or anything like that, go ahead, but don't expect it to be recognized as "official."
