Unfortunately people have gotten dull since the olden times. Before, the more well-to-do people cared about poetry. Nowadays no one does. That tactic would never work with today's women. Not unless they are literature geeks...
As for Pokemon, yes I was in the craze too. I was in Russia, in 1st-3rd grade, and I spent it in Pokemon. At that time, every boy had what we called kepsi, or plastic, round trading cards that were slammed against the floor, and if they flipped to the picture of the Pokemon, you won the round. The two players would go on util one got the picture, and one did not. Then that round card would go to the player that got the picture. I also know all of the original Pokemon. Ahh, those were good days...
