An easy way to remember all eighteen Pokémon types.

My little girl understands the rules of the game and can reel off the different types in some sort of inherently logical order.

I find it easier to remember them in the following order

ELECTRIC(ity) is used to make
STEEL which comes from iron ore, which is a type of
ROCK which is found in the
GROUND on which grows
GRASS in which you find a
BUG which might be
POISON(ous) or it might be
FLYING. Something else which can fly is a
FAIRY which is a kind of
GHOST who talk to people who are
PSYHIC who have séances in the
DARK which starts with the letter "D" like
DRAGON which breathes
FIRE when it is
FIGHTING.
NORMAL people fight fire with
WATER which when frozen turns to
ICE.

I hope that this comes in useful one day, I wasted ten minutes working that out and memorising it.

Pokémon GO: rapidly reaching parody singularity.

Two headlines which caught my eye...

Pokemon GO 'is un-Islamic', Muslim cleric suggests

Warning: Pokémon GO Could Be A Death Sentence If You Are A Black Man

Bonus points for the first person to see the game being described as a gateway drug or claiming it reinforces gender stereotypes, and double bonus points for spotting the first article in The Daily Mailexpressgraph saying the main reason young people don't "get on the housing ladder" is because they waste too much time on it.
