Normally I don’t care about or understand the Pokemon craze. But this bit of news does give me the opportunity to mention I was almost trampled a couple of years ago at Nintendo’s E3 Pokemon exhibit.

Pucca: Kung Fu Kisses & Ninjas Love Noodles – A Kids’ Show In Theory, But Definitely Not In Practice!
Pucca is an animated series about a girl with super strength who loves a ninja with super speed. Sounds pretty basic, doesn’t it?
