That is, just to make sure it is understood, it is aimed at children aged 5 to 12 which could make all those adults running around my local park holding out their mobile phones and excitedly shouting 'I got a Jigglypuff' a bit strange but then they may consider me a bit strange for sitting their quietly reading my book so fairs fair.
I have to admit i don't know much about Pokémon having never seen the cartoon or film and could probably name about 15 off the top of my head but i do remember an incident where one episode of the cartoon sparked off epileptic seizures in thousands of viewers and the series was suspended until someone decided, oh well, and started showing it again.
The fad for collecting pocket monsters to fight against each other did die down until 2016 when Pokémon Go was introduced which used augmented reality so you could run around cities and capture certain Pokémon and interrupt ladies peacefully reading their books chasing Squirtles and Bulbasaurs or any of the other 1017 officially registered on the National Pokedex (who knew there was such a thing?).
According to Wikipedia the best type of Pokémon to capture are the steel types but you should avoid bothering to go after the bug types who by all accounts are a bit rubbish but what about the Jigglypuff?
Apparently it's special power is the ability to send people to sleep whenever it starts singing making it the Coldplay of the Pokémon World.
