Benefits of Pokemon

Many people believe there are no benefits to Pokemon games whatsoever. This is just to prove to all those Pokemon haters, that Pokemon isn't really that bad.

Here are the benefits of Pokemon:

• It teaches friendship, and what a good friend should be made of.

• It also teaches, that if you really love something, sometimes it is best to let it go. (e.g, when Ash released Butterfree because he really loved it). This can also be used in real life. For example,  if you have a dog that is ill, and there is a no / slim chance of it surviving and it is suffering extremely, extremely badly, if you love it really much, it's might best to end it's suffering, and let it go to the other world (no matter how sad it may be for you). Well, I would put it down anyway.

Nintendo had released a study about the benefits of Pokemon games. A survey of 2,098 parents was made.





The results of the survey....

• 77% - enhances strategic thinking

• 76% - promotes positive values

68% - improves memory skills
• 60% - increases mental agility and awareness.
