Today's Pokémon content is a sweet story of how GayGamer's Pirate Prince came to understand the appeal of the series while in desperate need of a distraction. During a long flight, he decided to play some Pearl, despite not having been much of a fan previously.It turns out that the game was an excellent distraction. In a situation where he was forced to choose between catching them all and paying attention to his claustrophobia and fear of flight, he was able to delve into the game and discover its merit.
We aren't especially scared of flying, which is a surprise considering all of the things we are afraid of, we also took a plane ride this weekend, also accompanied by our Pokemans. It really is nice to have collecting and leveling to obsess about instead of the stress of being on an airplane and the stress of travel in general.

Reminds me of when I used to fly for my old job.
I'd bring a GBA SP with a couple of carts and it would REALLY help kill the time waiting or in the air.
Good times...well could have been worse times anyway.
You want to sell some handhelds, offer them on long flights with involved games and passengers might be willing to buy them so they can finish!

Don't forget to pack a solar charger, in case you get stranded on a mysterious island full of deadly secrets and strange animals.
