OK, so this sounds like it might tie into the "Pokémon Is Everywhere" discussions from the past few days, but it's more of a "bonus" since it's not about a particular thing, but more of my own thoughts about Pokémon situations, both mine and others. It's also structured by way of something that I occasionally bring up on this blog for all its relevance to me and possibly other affairs, including Pokémon. With that, the rather oxymoronic title provides the insights for how things will go down in this discussion.
The phrase is actually one of my "yearly themes" from way, way back before I started this blog. At that time, I felt like I was being constrained with my activities - which I was - but at the same time, I also felt like I could go anywhere with them. That applied to my Pokémon affairs, which at the time involved fewer games and forms of entertainment than today; I couldn't or did not have the leeway to go anywhere, but by partaking in the activities, I felt like I was somewhere else - a good feeling amidst all my business then.
Nowadays, as Pokémon becomes present in literally "everywhere", as indicated by the previous posts throughout this week, fans can revel in the Pokémon experiences wherever they may be, yet also revel for other fans around the world for their other Pokémon experiences. This would be even more so if they can't go to other places for that purpose... although they may and do indeed desire just that, for which there is nothing wrong with that. The "nowhere" impressions may be as equally strong.
With that, I still have the interest to partake in other worldly Pokémon experiences - one of them being to meet certain figures who are intimately connected to Pokémon, like a certain Sarah - to break out of my "nowhere" state and allow my reach to be able to go "everywhere". For now, I still have this blog, and that's an "everywhere and nowhere" situation in itself, allowing me to provide my takes on Pokémon happenings anywhere (like the World Championships) while being confined to be present in certain locations.
It might seem that being "everywhere and nowhere" is conflicting and thus would be regarded as an oxymoron, as stated previously. Yet the phrase itself seems to present opportunities for current and future happenings, which in the context of this blog includes ones related to Pokémon. That means that even in the middle of nowhere, there is the potential to reach "everywhere", at least in a satisfactory form until one can truly go anywhere and everywhere. The hope is that Pokémon can tag along to all that.
