But you still gotta catch 'em all

quote Me

To catch 'em all, or not to catch 'em all? That is the question—
Whether 'tis more sensible to master but a select few
And simply ignore the countless beings across the land
Or to charge courageously, capsule in hand,
And, by destiny, turn monsters into allies.

To catch, to befriend—
No more—and by catch to say we understand
Their power, and pledge to learn and fight arm in arm
With each until all have been realized. 'Tis a challenge
To face with a heart so true.

To catch, to befriend—
To uphold the vast quantity of existing creatures: Ay, there's the test,
For by taking that path what numbers may arise
When one searches far and wide
Must give us pause to acknowledge the heavy load. There's the confession
That makes the task of befriending them all appear tedious.

For who would bear the challenges along the way,
The changes that must be made, the rightful places to claim
The battles ev'ry day, the opposing beliefs of others,
The limitless strength that each monster possesses, and the elements that
Define the very laws of nature itself,
When those too appear unstable and unpredictable?

Who would take on such an intimidating dream,
To work endlessly to discover what the world may send forth,
But that the dread of missing something of mythical proportions,
The legendary beings, from whose frightening, terrifying existence
No mortal can fail to revere, leaves the beholder in awe,
And divides th' masses between contradicting forces:
Nature and technology, land and sea, time and space, truths and ideals?

Thus conscience does make trainers of us all,
And thus the simplicity of befriending few
Is wrought with abhorrent thoughts of chance encounters lost,
And the effortless preference of sustaining few acquaintances
With this regard their paths turn awry
And lose the apathetic approach in favor of mastery.
