Thanks for the comments - much processing still to be done.
A Pokemon game (eg Pokemon Platinum) is an adventure. As you play the game, you go places, acquire and train Pokemon, gain distinctions. Your achievements are stored in the game. The 2cm by 2cm card is irreplaceable.
Readers of this blog may recall a real life adventure, when son and I travelled to a big city, and downloaded a unique Pokemon. Now, somebody else has that Pokemon. Or quite possibly, the game has been wiped, the record deleted.
Son has been (in my book) honest. There are ways to get ahead, often called 'cheats'. He tells me that everyone else uses them. Until now, he has accepted that no son of mine is going to cheat. But what now? He would like something called an Action Replay, which I gather is a device which 'helps' to gain credits which otherwise would take time, effort, and skill to achieve. Arguably, we would be redressing an imbalance. But to me it would still be cheating ...
