Your assignment is to write up an editorial focusing on the palatial Pokemon production. Deadline to have your entries submitted is April 25th, at 12:00pm PST

Need some inspiration? Consider the following topics:

- How do you feel about the Pokemon game franchise at this point? Has its decisions to continue to add more beyond the original 150 been a positive experience, or do you perhaps feel that in this particular case less is more and the ever growing numbers of creatures to catch is bogging down the game?

- If you could revolutionize the franchise by rebooting it, how would you start over? Would you go back to the way things were with Pokemon Red and Blue or would you completely retool the mythos that's been created.

- How do you feel about the current online Pokemon tournaments? Do you feel that this is just another eSport or do you think that this is a great way for players to immerse themselves in PokeCulture?

- Where do you think the game will be in the next three years, how about the next five years?

Chalk Talk submissions must include the following:
- Entries must be a minimum of 500 words
- Do not use altered text fonts, colors, and be aware of your formatting.
-Select at least one image to act as your "cover shot".
