  Documentary Script Pokemon,I choose you! A Documentary Written By Rory Forrester The documentary is about Pokemon and how or if it impacts people lives. I'm going to be asking people who play and people who don't their opinions. The idea behind my documentary is to see what people think about the Pokemon franchise and if they think it's going to last and why they play and do they think is addicting. I also want to find out if players think that it's bad for children because some feel that because you're making animals fight it could be a bad message for them and if this really is the case. I also want to get an idea of the Pokemon that people use and why they use those Pokemon.

ADAM I really enjoy the idea of going on a long adventure in a fantasy world, as it provides an escape Cut away of adam walking down street. from reality that i can then immerse myself into that universe. INTERVIEWER Where do you play Pokemon and how long for? Cut back to Adams Room ADAM I enjoy playing pokemon in my room, on the bus and sometimes if I have a free in my timetable. I play it because it is entertaining. Cut to adam playing pokemon. It depends on how long I have free but normally about an hour. INTERVIEWER Do they think you are obsessed/addicted? Cut back to Adams room ADAM I don't think so because I never feel like I am dependent on playing to enjoy me free time. But when the games first come out I can play for much longer as it is a new experience.

  2 INTERVIEWER Whatdo you think makes Pokemon fun to play? Cut aways of stuff in Adams Room. ADAM I think pokemon is fun because of the adventure element of it, it is also very satisfying levels up as it gives you a sense of accomplishment. Also in the games there is the ideal if beating the elite four and the champion you is your rival from the begging but there is also the added incentive of ending the cooperation that is trying to manipulate the legendary pokemon for evil uses. INTERVIEWER Tell us about the Pokemon card game. Do you or have you ever played it? Cut back to Adams room. ADAM No I never really got into the game. I did try, but to buy all of the packs and to find someone else Cut away of adam making food n kitchen. to play with when no one I know was interested in the game I found it to much of a hassle. INTERVIEWER A well-known phrase from Pokemon is 'Gotta catch them all'. Cut back to Adams room. Have you ever tried to catch them all? ADAM I have tried to catch them all in each game I own but because of restrictions and the amount of pokemon I ended up losing (MORE)

  3 ADAM (CONT'D) motivation. The restrictions are that certain pokemon are only available in a certain game. INTERVIEWER Do you have a favourite Pokemon or Pokemon type? ADAM My favourite pokemon type is electric because the animations for there moves look cool and they are only week to one other type. Cut away of Adam watching TV. My favourite pokemon is luxray because I like his design i think it looks cool. INTERVIEWER Do you feel that the games have an influence on children? Is this positive or negative? Cut back to Adams Room ADAM Yeah I do think the games have an impact. I think it's positive because it teaches them companionship and compassion towards there pokemon and it makes them think more strategically. Cut away to Adam playing with baby sister. I understand why some people would think that it's negative because you are making animals fight but i think that because the do not look like animals of this world that children could tell the difference. There is also a big emphasis on how the pokemon are our friends and we should treat them respectfully. Cut back to Adams room. INTERVIEWER Do you watch the anime or just play the games or both?

  4 ADAM Ido both I do watch the anime but I do not watch the anime passionately every week the new episodes come out. Cut away of stuff in adams room. But when i was younger i used to watch the show and others like it and really enjoyed them as it was something really close to the games. INTERVIEWER Do you think that the Pokemon franchise end in the near future? Cut back to Adams room ADAM I think it will end eventually, all things have to, but not any time soon as the franchise is so well known and has a large presence in today, as it has a large fanbase and more children to find the games to play them. Also with the amount of merchandise available I don't think it will be forgotten soon. FADE OUT.
