Okay let me get this straight an idea started by
meshing Pokemon with the real world, which includes
"The Jusenkyo Spell Dump" as a primer for the setting,
and has MEGUMI that seems a blatant ripoff of the
goddesses from 'Ah megami-sama' CAN'T include other
anime?  Mr. Nolen please lets be honest here.  This
whole setting of Pokegirls is a mish-mash of several
animated features put together for the purpose of
entertainment.  Which means logically other sources of
anime and manga could be included here with reasonable
effort.  And that is what Shade has done hes added
things and taken away things to create something that
has the potential for something different.  Which is
what your next comment is all about:

And that is something I agree on at the end of
prologue 4 I was rooting for Greg, his room mate, and
Bee-girl.  I wanted to know what happened to them and
the fact that the author skipped out on this in his
fifth installment made me realize that Shade had made
me care about these fictional characters.  Which as an
author is a major accomplishment.  Now what I hope Mr.
Shade does is avoid the whole 'sex-slave' issue I have
with Pokegirls and try more for like
'partners/companions/best friends forever' but that is
a my on bit of wish fulfillment there.

Ah have you and I been watching the same main stream
media Mr. Nolen cause last I checked there were some
Christian religious figures *cough*700 club*cough*
that publicly stated that America DESERVED 9/11
because of tolerance of homosexuals and other sins. 
And if you take a look except for Fox news (fair and
balanced my rump) most mainstream media tries to have
no bias.  That is the whole ideal of journalism.  To
report the truth no matter what and yes that ideal is
not often meet because we are fallible beings.  But we
try and that is the whole point but I'm ranting so I
apologize.  Sufficed to say Mr. Shades is just
expressing his views (right or wrong) in a work of
fiction that was meant to entertain.  For my own two
cents Mr. Nolen, no my college professors did not
preach 'death to whitie.  They just taught me to look
at the facts and make up my own mind.  I looked at
history and seen that while the white male does have a
leg up in the world he like the rest of us is only
human and at the end of the day we are all capable of
great good and great evil no matter what our profiles
are.

Peace and long life to us all.
