Acknowledgements

Special acknowledgement to Topaz for the lovely banner for my site. Thanks to Oddish and others who have supported me and offered ideas and constructive comments. A special note goes to Richiesite (the first Pokémon site I visited) and Charizard Valley (home of the best Pokémon fanfic I've read) for the inspiration they have afforded me. Finally (although you may never get to read this) a thanks on behalf of all Pokémon fans to Satoshi Tajiri who created Pocket Monsters and to all those who have worked to make Pokémon the success and enjoyment it has been.

Dedication

This site is dedicated to my children, Anastasia, who shared many episodes with me, David, who introduced me to Pokémon and shared many game experiences with me (I used to call him "the walking Pokédex"), and lastly Nicholas, who has helped keep Pokémon alive in my heart. Pokémon has brought me closer to each of my children in turn.
