In training...

I thought our boys had got tired of Pokemon, finally.

But, no! With the release of Pokemon 'Diamond and 'Pearl' for their Gamethingies it's all gone mad again. Due partly to the fact that we are really nasty parents and only let them play these gamethingies for 1.5 hours per week, Pokemon fever appears in other ways apart form computer blindness.

Such as Pokemon card game playing, making Pokeballs out of wads of tissue paper and insulating tape and of course Campbell now dresses like a pokemon trainer ALL the time.

Today he decided to train Nibbler in the art of Pokemon. Which mainly seemed to involve running around and throwing the aforementioned pokeballs in the air. Nibbler seemed to catch on quite quickly. But I don't think he will evolve into Psyduck no matter how much training he gets.
