Gotta clear up after 'em all!

Readers over the age of 12, with no children of their own, can simply pass on. The rest of us probably need no introduction to the Nintendo franchise Pokemon, and won't be surprised to learn that once more as Christmas approaches another Pokemon game is being wheeled out. It's a wonder that they can still find something new to do - having tried Pokemon Snap; Pokemon Pinball and even Pokemon Ranger. Pokemon is of slight interest to The Ranger.

The thoughts and writings of The Virtual Ranger, since 1995 the host and mascot of Naturenet, the UK's most popular independent environmental website; along with interjections from his real-life alter ego, Matthew Chatfield, and others. Featuring not only Naturenet and countryside related stuff, but, as on Naturenet, plenty of other material - more or less at random - that takes The Ranger's fancy. But you can be confident that soon enough he'll be rather sarcastic.
