Quickies: There and Back Again...

One of the great things about Pokémon is the feeling of being able to go to different places in its world and feel like one is actually there, even given the focus on capturing monsters and battling with them. Then, that same feeling can be repeated through different experiences facilitated by different things, not limited to the games. It's that feeling of going and going again that might just explain why some people like me continue to be fans of the franchise, despite the ups and downs over the years.

With or without a full-on quest through different lands and environments, the goal of making oneself (as a Trainer) and one's Pokémon all that one can be is a quest in itself, one that can also be considered as repetitive in one form or another. Based on the efforts, they could stand to be written in a book... though the Pokémon and related achievements might speak for themselves without that having to be done. Considerations too seem to repeat themselves for what species to deal with and when.

It too seems that personally, my Pokémon dealings (including but not limited to raising them for battle) take me to different places and situations, and then again as I deal with yet others that evoke the already familiar places and situations. Some of them might involve this blog directly - perhaps even this post as it is being written - while others might just involve general Pokémon situations that then will lend themselves to be written up later on this blog. It might just be all cyclical in a manner of speaking.

Going to places is a normal part of real life as it is for Pokémon life. Yet there's also something special about how that occurs for the latter and involves making returns (or repeats) for different purposes and objectives. In all, that makes for fascinating and often wonderful journeys across lands and places, complemented by all the wondrous creatures all along the way. Much of that may afford to be gone through time and time again as well as in many different forms... and so, may it be.
