I was chatting with Dtoider Hkun (and others) one night when he brought up the ”SOON.” Magikarp picture. That got me thinking. On a good day, I feel like a level 19 Magikarp with about one fifth of the experience bar filled. More often, however, I feel like a level 11 Magikarp, entirely too cognizant of the soul-crushing reality of life. This awareness, however, does allow me to warmly embrace pedantry and philosophize, which is the basis for my newly established goal of becoming the greatest Poke-Philosopher that ever was. There’s little money in the field and I doubt I will be seen as an equal in the field of general philosophy. However, my first axiom is one that aptly pertains to this path. Remember, there are no rare candies on the path of life. Each experience point is a self-contained journey, and invaluable.
