Penny Arcade discovers Pokemon, already knew how to curse
Here's something for the grown-up Pokémon fans: after checking out Pokémon Battle Revolution at the Nintendo Media Summit, Gabe and Tycho were struck by a sudden bout of Pokémania (the uncontrollable compulsion to be the very best, like no one ever was). They both became hooked on the latest DS Pokémon. As it turns out, they often draw comic strips about video games they enjoy playing. It's a hobby of theirs.Their resulting Penny Arcade strip, titled The Coming Apokélypse, illustrates the sadistic hatred that drives every Pokémon trainer to imprison and abuse his or her adorable little creatures. We recommend it for the more seasoned trainers out there (read: not children) because dropping F-bombs is another hobby in which Gabe and Tycho dabble.

how's about we get a "Slow News Day" tag?

I'm sorry. I'll try to keep your free video game entertainment more substantive in the future.

Slow news day? You've got to be kiddin' me, its freakin' Memorial Day!
Besides, if you don't consider a Pokemon-related webcomic "newsworthy", then perhaps you should change the definition of 'news' on a BLOG.
