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
