Pokémon is an undeniable obsession with children across the country
So what exactly is a Pokémon?
Cute cuddly characters who become super-charged so they can fight their enemies
It's a Japanese term short for Pocket monster
Pokémon are incredible creatures that share the world with humans
It began as a video game in Japan
And has become an international phenomenon
In the form of books, music videos, a TV show, and trading cards
In the hands of schoolkids all over the world
Well, Pokémon has swept the world
Little, reclusive, power-filled monsters
Characters named Pikachu, Mankey, and Snorlax
School officials are finding that Pokémon cards are responsible for fistfights
And the Pokémon is creating a monster of a commotion for American kids
They get into fights, but no one dies
Parents should not let their kids watch Pokémon, play Pokémon, buy Pokémon cards
Have anything to do with Pokémon, because the message is violence
The genius of Pokémon is you have to keep collecting characters
The game's constantly innovating
And so the epidemic goes from being a craze to an entire world order
The constant trading is not only distracting kids from classwork
But turning the playground into a black market
Where they buy and sell rare cards
The children are developing relationships with all these Pokémon creatures
Now kids are going just so wild over this Pokémon
That there's stuffed animals and collectibles, Pokémon trading cards
But why should they carry these monsters in their pocket?
The entire Pokémon phenomenon is the enemy!
Pokémon world is the world of the demonic, of the satanic
Coming soon to a theater near you
Pokémon the Movie joins Pokémon the video game
And Pokémon the trading card
As must sees and must haves, to start us off tonight
NBC News correspondent Herman Cain
I believe these words came from the Pokémon movie
Life can be a challenge
It's never easy when there's so much on the line
But you and I can make a difference
Just look inside and you will find the Pokémon
Pokémon
But you and I can make a difference
Just look inside and you will find the Pokémon
The Pokémon
