speaking of foom-a-looma's Pikachu dream

Children identify Pokemon more easily than animals

Pokemon "creatures" are far more recognisable to the average eight-year-old than animals and plants.



A study found that British children were better able to identify characters from the card game than their own native species. They were more likely to remember names like pikachu, metapod, muk and wigglytuff than mouse, otter, beetle and oak tree.

And now, I'm off! Happy April-day, dear Journal.
