I was inspired by this post and the way that Slack also replaced the LMS.1
1. Pokemon is fun to say
Like Schoology or Moodle, Pokemon is a fun word to say. You can also say words like Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, and Pikachu. That’s pretty much a foreign language credit right there! It’s pretty awesome!
2. Mobile
Blackboard Mobile is a thing and phones exist. And so hot right now. App. APP! APPPP!!!!!!
Plus see that kid. He’s capturing a round thing that’s pretty much what you do to win Pokemon. That’s directly from Blackboard’s site. It’s pretty much like they were grooming us for this.
3. Circles
Schoology, Canvas, Pokemon . . . COINCIDENCE?!?!?!?!
Case CLOSED!
4. Reality
That Pokemon is too far away . . . just like your dreams!!!! Pokemon will get kids in the real world!
5. Other Things
Pretty much the stuff! If you can see it. The things! A kid got out of bed to do this once. That’s the bar for exercise now. Imagine if they also rode in a car someplace. That’s like jogging or giving an essay to TurnItIn. Instant goodness!!

YEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! New THING!
1 I’m being obnoxious but come on people. Seriously? How can we do this every single time? The logic is literally terrible.
Well, I want to know if all those points and stuff I have on Ingress can get ported over to give Pokeballs and critters. Because that Ingress was fun for a while too but then it was tired.
Common course cartridge should get us there.
It is tough to poke holes in your arguments. This post will most likely receive more traffic than anything else you’ve written this year.
Sadly that is true.
Given the news recently, current events and such, I’m amazed the Pokemon phenom is ranked right up there as NEWS by real live news organizations. Therefore no reason no to further inflate this trend and ride it to the top of the clickthroooz I say. ;^)
I’m taking Pokemon to the top of the charts. Expect to see the site theme change and my avatar to be some sort of Poke-creature.
