Only 151- Paddy

Today Alex and I, met at a mutual friend's house so that we may work on our various history courseworks, the first drafts of which were each below our own high standards. The aim of this event as that the other two may be able to point out the flaws and potential improvements that we my not have spotted within our own work. For the first hour and a half or so this went well, I myself added roughly 50 words to my piece. That may not sound like a lot, but I had to work within the limits of my word count, and without changing my line of argument too drastically.
However, we then got peckish and ordered pizza and steadily our attention spans shortened. For whatever reason we became embroiled, the three of us, in a fairly in depth conversation about Pokemon. Now, I'm sure you are all aware of Pokemon, and depending on how old you, you probably have an opinion on how many Pokemon there are. Alex and I are of the original generation of Pokemon, so we believe there are only 151, from Bulbasaur to Mew. (On a slight tangent, why is Mewtwo number 150, but Mew, who it was cloned from 151). Our other friend continued to play slightly later into his life, so he is of the opinion that there are 251 species, all the way up to Celebi, whatever the hell that is. Anyway, the point I'm making is, there are only 151 Pokemon, all others don't count. This image expresses my sentiment exactly (apart from the poor spelling).
