The word "capture" means many things to different people. It may mean to possess, grab hold, or take control of things. In the context of Pokémon, the word is often tied to the creatures, which are caught by Trainers for different purposes, including but not limited to battling with them. It is no wonder, then, that the word may resonate with many Trainers, including me. That was what exactly happened with me when I saw the word used in a different context, yet in my mind still conjures up Pokémon visions.
About a month ago, I heard that a TV channel was being launched with an optimistic outlook toward the future, which is reflected in its slogan, reflecting the fact of being able to capture toward that very future. The channel is about as distantly related to Pokémon as one can get, so if anything Pokémon is even featured on the channel, it would be rather tangential. That's not to say that it is impossible, but it would be on the verge of not having anything to do with it. But from this, the "capture" part of the slogan speaks to me as a Pokémon fan.
In relating the slogan to the Pokémon affairs of my own and other people, the link becomes quite fascinating. Capturing is an action that is commonly performed for and within the realm of anything related to Pokémon, whether for the Pokémon themselves and thus it is fair and not hard to say that capturing is an essential action to move a person or a group of people toward desirable situations, including that of the future. In this regard, one really does perform the action literally in order to move toward the future.
Effectively, the optimistic outlook of that new TV channel is validated. Obviously, the TV channel through its programs possesses and executes a different approach to capturing in order to move to the future, which is not necessarily what Pokémon fans like me would think of, but it works and is meaningful for the channel. For Pokémon fans like me, though, capturing can hold many significant meanings, particularly for the creatures of concern. But if it's anything like the TV slogan, the same actions can and should result in a significant future.
