about slowpoke
Slowpoke is a Pokemon first brought into the world in 1996 along with the creation of the rest of his colleagues. He is a pink creature with four, clawed toes that is similar to the hippopotamus. He is one of the only 151 (out of the 700+ now) Pokemon to have existed for all 6 generations of games and anime episodes. Consistent with his name, he often has slow reactions. In it's very first anime appearance, it was asked for help when Ash's Pokemon get trapped on an island. However, instead of responding to the pleas of help from the others, he just sat with his signature dumb look; completely unresponsive. His first action was at the end of the episode, when he evolves into Slowbro. Over time, the community grew to love the slow mongrel, and was eventually turned into an internet meme, where he reports about things that happened long ago, but in an excited way that suggests that he thinks it is current news. Example. That of course, is what this site is about; reporting on historic happenings in the way Slowpoke would see it.
