Is Pokémon your favorite franchise? Are there any you also enjoy? Also what makes you keep returning to the series?

For the first part, refer to this question from a few days ago: http://pokemaniacal.tumblr.com/post/69464174209/first-off-thank-you-for-the-amazing-content-ive

As for what keeps me coming back… hell, I don’t know.  I think by this point it’s mostly force of habit and sheer bloodymindedness.  The bastards have brainwashed me.  That, and I just like thinking about it sideways; it’s fun constructing arguments about culture and ethics in this universe.
