Pokeclipse Now

Whilst traversing the eclectic realm known as the Internets, you may have come across the term Otherkin, people who claim to be the reincarnations of mythical beings, like dragons and elves.

You may also have heard of Otakukin, people who believe that they're the physical manifestations of modern fictional characters.

So in light of these...interesting phenomena...it's not terribly difficult to comprehend a community of people who believe that, while they are not Pokemon themselves, there is a dimension where Pokemon actually exist, and that man will one day be able to enter this world, where he would presumably then proceed to endeavor toward catching them all, possibly while wearing some sort of jacket and baseball cap ensemble.

I'm still not really sure how seriously to take this. Some people just get, like, really, really into roleplaying sometimes, right? And suppose it turns out they're actually right! We skeptics are gonna look pretty ridiculous then. Everyone else is gonna have Pokemon, and the unbelievers will have to make do with Beyblades or something else totally lame.
