Download or read book Pikachu s Global Adventure written by Joseph Tobin and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2004-02-05 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initially developed in Japan by Nintendo as a computer game, Pokémon swept the globe in the late 1990s. Based on a narrative in which a group of children capture, train, and do battle with over a hundred imaginary creatures, Pokémon quickly diversified into an array of popular products including comic books, a TV show, movies, trading cards, stickers, toys, and clothing. Pokémon eventually became the top grossing children's product of all time. Yet the phenomenon fizzled as quickly as it had ignited. By 2002, the Pokémon craze was mostly over. Pikachu’s Global Adventure describes the spectacular, complex, and unpredictable rise and fall of Pokémon in countries around the world. In analyzing the popularity of Pokémon, this innovative volume addresses core debates about the globalization of popular culture and about children’s consumption of mass-produced culture. Topics explored include the origins of Pokémon in Japan’s valorization of cuteness and traditions of insect collecting and anime; the efforts of Japanese producers and American marketers to localize it for foreign markets by muting its sex, violence, moral ambiguity, and general feeling of Japaneseness; debates about children’s vulnerability versus agency as consumers; and the contentious question of Pokémon’s educational value and place in school. The contributors include teachers as well as scholars from the fields of anthropology, media studies, sociology, and education. Tracking the reception of Pokémon in Japan, the United States, Great Britain, France, and Israel, they emphasize its significance as the first Japanese cultural product to enjoy substantial worldwide success and challenge western dominance in the global production and circulation of cultural goods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Camp Pikachu, where kids can act out adventures from their favorite Pokémon games and cartoons, battling other teams to earn points and badges and, if they're lucky, make it into the Summer Camp Hall of Fame! During their first week at Camp Pikachu, Marco and his friends on Team Treecko find the perfect secret base: a tree house straight out of Fortree City. They proudly post their team flag out front. But during a game of capture the flag, someone vandalizes their base. Who did it? Marco thinks he knows: Team Fennekin, led by Stella and her brother, Sam. Sam is always up to no good. And his big sister is as mean as Meowth, the cat that prowls the camp. During the next round of capture the flag, Team Treecko bands together and tries every Pokémon trick they know. Logan makes mud balls and Pitfall Mats. Nisha creates a catapult inspired by Clemont. And Maddy? Well, she’d help, too, if she weren’t so busy making Poké Puffs. But when Sam gets hit by a stone mixed in with the mud balls, the game comes to a screeching halt—and Team Treecko discovers that Sam may not be quite the bully they thought he was. Just as Pokémon can Mega Evolve with Mega Stones, can a bully change his ways? Team Treecko is about to find out!

Download or read book The Story of S written by Annalisse Mayer and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-06-17 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if..? After the death of JFK, Jr., the press was flooded with mesmerizing pictures of him, not to mention some rather lurid tabloid articles. The author found herself drawn into repeated, obsessive fantasies of what knowing him or having a romance with him might have been like. Ultimately, she found herself writing down one of her fantasies as a novel. She changed the names to make clear that this is entirely a work of fiction, her own fantasies, not actually about the real people who inspired her writing. She wove in her own life experiences: her son's Asperger's Syndrome, home birth, and information from a suicide prevention course. She also could not resist drawing in some pet political issues, for instance regarding abortion, pesticide spraying, and drug legalization. The result is an eminently readable romance and psychological study, which should enthrall any woman of a certain age who fantasizes about younger celebrities or anyone who is interested in Asperger's Syndrome.
