master_trainer_mike says , "Hi gang! Welcome to the
last Pokemon Chat of 2001!!!!"
master_trainer_mike says , "Of course, by now
shouldn't we have Space stations and listening to large
black obelisks?"
master_trainer_mike says , "Where's HAL???"
master_trainer_mike says , "Where's Sealab or flying
cars or even personal movers?"
master_trainer_mike says , "I suppose GINGER counts
but geez, 12 miles an hour?????"
master_trainer_mike says , "ANYWAY, thank you all for
another great year of Pokemon!"
master_trainer_mike says , "As many of you know, the
new Pokemon League will be starting January 5th in most
locations (others may start a little later in January)."
master_trainer_mike says , "We also have the upcoming
Professor Program, the Pokemon Challenge series, and we will
be introducing team multiplayer rules next year too!"
master_trainer_mike says , "Also, the first chat we
have after Xmas break (the 3rd I think) we will have a
specila guest."
darkmt_mike says , "Gengar?"
master_trainer_mike says , "Keith Strohm, the Pokemon
Brand Manager will be our guest speaker. He will be hear to
talk with you, answer questions, and talk about the future
of Pokemon."
master_trainer_mike says , "Don't miss it!"
master_trainer_mike says , "And as usual, we have
Dark Master Trainer Mike here to keep us from actually
accomplishing anything on this chat :)"
darkmt_mike says , "Whooo Hooo!"
So this is the last
Chat for 2001? Will we be resuming on Jan 3rd or the week
after?
master_trainer_mike says , "Jan 3rd with the
Pokemon Brand Manager as the guest speaker!"
darkmt_mike says , "Yes oh wise Chrisbo!"
what exactly does a
brand manager do? just wondering.
master_trainer_mike says , "The Brand Manager is
the overall person in charge of an IP (intellectual
property). In this case, Keith ha sthe final say and
approval on everything Wizards does that has to do with
Pokemon."
master_trainer_mike says , "They make all of the
business decisions for that IP."
Have you MTs adequately
prepared your Brand Manager for the chat's legion of rabid
question-askers? *grin* Or are you just going to throw him
to the "wolves" (or rabid Sneasels)?
master_trainer_mike says , "He has been warned
and says he can handle it :)"
master_trainer_mike says , "We have been poking him
with sticks for the last 3 months to help him get used to
the sharp retorts we sometimes get :)"
Your Brand Manager can
never handle us! MWAHAHAHA!!!
master_trainer_mike says , "Well, I wouldn't tick
him off too much if I were you :)"
Does that mean no Chat
next week?
master_trainer_mike says , "Correct, Wizards will
be shut down for the holidays next week. Though Customer
Service will have a skeleton crew if you have any
questions."
master_trainer_mike
says , "Make sure you all come to the chat on January
3rd 2002. Keith Strohm, the Pokemon Brand Manager will be
here to tell you about the future of Pokemon as wlel as
answer your questions and concerns about any upcoming
changes."
master_trainer_mike says , "Well thank you all
for coming to the last
Pokemon Chat of 2001! This year was
a lot of fun and I look
forward to even more fun next year!"
master_trainer_mike says , "Make sure you come to
our January 3rd chat
where you will be able to ask questions
of Keith Strohm, the Pokemon Brand Manager."
master_trainer_mike says , "Hope you all have a
very Merry Christmas,
safe holiday, and just a nice break
from the hustle and
bustle."
