Well it's not that I dislike Pokemon. I just think that humanizing Pokemon cheapens their value as the kind of creature they are. The point is that even though they are not human, they are still intelligent and able to interact with humans. Making them human just really irritates me... ><; What Valerie did wasn't really gijinka since she didn't actually transfer any of the Pokemon's traits into human traits ...although when people do that, it really doesn't resemble the Pokemon at all.

I don't know... I just really don't like it when people are more concerned with looking attractive/cute than being faithful to what they are dressing up as. :| All Pokemon gijinka cosplayers care about is looking vaguely like the Pokemon, while making it suit whatever clothes they think are cute.
Oh no, I totally get what you're saying and you do make a point. I don't know, I guess I see gijinka cosplay as a way to wear a Pokémon without having to put on a full body costume, and yet *still* easily recognize the character. My inner Pokémon geek can't help but think, "Wow, how creative!" But if you dislike it that much, I don't think you'll like my next ALA post, heheh. *took some gijinka pics* ^^;;;; But I do respect your philosophy about how one should be true to a character and wear it as is, and not something that's made up.
Hey, you should share your Copix Marker drawings from Sunday! They were really great~!

Ohhhhhh. I was wondering what your outfit was on the first day; makes sense now. You looked so pretty!
I never cared much for Pokemon gijinka. And now I officially dislike it. :|
