Everyone's Contributions

Seven months ago, I discussed in a post about benefits compared to profits or losses, particularly in relation to what happens with Pokémon and especially me. That post could also loosely be said to describe my ways of contributing toward Pokémon, so I can't really discuss it in that manner. What I can discuss, however, is how everyone can do the same - that is, contribute toward Pokémon. It's something that everyone pretty much can do if they like or are linked to Pokémon, and the results are beneficial too.

The obvious thing, though not necessarily the simplest thing, is to buy Pokémon things. It's obvious because it provides support and therefore contribution. It's not simple because everyone is different in their financial capabilities. That said, it seems everyone can contribute at whatever pace they prefer. It may not have to be at the level of splurging, but some spending is warranted. Hopefully, it would make all parties, including those involved with the specific things, happy and appreciative.

Contributions can also be achieved by acting and interacting with Pokémon things. This would certainly be achieved by playing the games as one of the ways to do so. Watching the anime could also be included, especially through the best ways to do so. Though rather indirect, discussions and debates about all things Pokémon could conceivably serve much of the same purpose. The main thing is that if it gets people together and/or leads to enjoyment, then that would be enough action and interaction.

The greatest contribution would have to be able to make things related to Pokémon, which then could be put through the other two processes above. It may take skill to do so, but if the results are really good, then it might just become successful, and if the results are really good, it may become something of a phenomenon. If the developers can make the games, then the fans can make other things - and between them there may be other kinds of potential, perhaps for collaboration as well.

Pokémon has a lot of appeal to many people. That may be why some of them decide to be involved with it, while others decide to enjoy it, and they all continue to do so as time goes on. Regardless of their links and roles, they all can contribute in their respective manner and beget something good for everyone. It takes a concerted effort, but if the effort is whole-hearted, then the results should be great. If you ask me, that's an amazing benefit for all concerned.
