…  on view in a mural on the side of 401 Games on Yonge.  It was painted by Jasmine Pannu and it features a number of characters that gamers and fans of anime might recognize… such as  Picachu, Charizard, and other Pokemon characters…. and  Wizards, sorcery, and flaming dice. I am sure that some of you have a much better idea about the source/name of some of these images!

      Mine too. I was a bit bemused by the whole Pokemon thing when it first came out. But it seems to have endured! All the tie-ins with Nintendo and other gaming systems certainly helped preserve it’s popularity.
