'''Chris Chan in the PokéNews''', one segment of [[Chris]]'s [[Christian Weston Chandler...Yep, I'm on TV :)|CWC on TV]] DVD, was filmed 16 October, [[1999]] and aired on [[Richmond]]'s NBC affiliate, [[Wikipedia:WWBT|WWBT]].

The local news media do a fluff piece on the rise of [[Pokémon]] fandom, which is popular among small children, [[Pedofork|suspicious-looking men]], and [[Christian Weston Chandler|emotionally-stunted manchildren]]. Chris happens to be among the small children playing the game. The cameraman seems to linger on him for an abnormally long amount of time, perhaps not used to [[Honest Content|the thing he's seeing]].
 
Chris lists his tenure playing Pokémon cards with children half his age on his [[resume]], and implies that he volunteered at Books-A-Million.

'''Female Newscaster''': Well, if you have grade-schoolers in the house, you'll probably be interested in this next report, and if you don't, ''you'' can learn about a craze that's been sweeping the nation. NBC 12 reporter Jim Babb marched into the marketing breech today to bring us this story of Pokémon.
 
[''A small boy is trading Pokémon cards with another small boy'']
 
'''Small boy''': I'll trade you thi...uh...holograph for a Japanese holograph.
 
[''A woman is shown scanning booster packs of trading cards at a cash register'']
 
[''Jim Babb interviews a small boy with a large binder full of Pokemon cards'']
 
'''Babb''': You've got hundreds of these cards.
 
'''Boy''': I got--yeah, some... yeah, and I've got a lot more at home.
 
'''Babb''': ''[to small boy in orange athletic jersey]'' So, tell me, why do you like Pokémon?
 
'''Boy''': I dunno.
 
'''Babb''': You're not sure why you like it, but you do, right?
 
'''Boy''': Yeah.
 
[''A brief clip from the Pokémon [[animu]] is shown while Babb narrates. Later, footage of Books-A-Million is shown'']
 
'''Babb''': Like so many other fads, it got started with a kids' TV show. And, now, Pokémon is a marketing phenomenon. Kids and parents line up every Saturday at this Chesterfield County bookstore, and they dig deep.
 
'''Babb''': [''to woman with handful of booster packs''] How much did all of this cost?
 
'''Woman''': $30 with a discount.
 
'''Babb''': Then the games begin, with byzantine rules.
 
[''A crowd of small children plays the Pokemon trading card game on the shop floor.'']
 
'''Babb''': [''to [[Niggos|African-American]] boy''] So how do you explain the game?
 
'''Boy''': I can't explain; it's too long!
 
[''Suddenly, the camera lingers on a much older boy, who looks 16-18 years old. He is clad in an ill-fitting, blue longsleeve shirt, under a yellow T-shirt, under a blue vest. A red and white baseball cap and a sports bottle rest next to him. He is playing Pokémon cards with small children.'']

<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris'''</font>: I'll switch- I'll put out my Dragonair... even though it has sixty damage on it... oh, boy, now I have three energy on it. Slam Attack!
 
'''Babb''': [to African-American child] So, if you had the time to tell me, I wouldn't understand it?
 
'''Boy''': No.
 
'''[[Pedofork|40-year-old man]] with [[Pedoglasses|Rapist Glasses]] and molester mustache''': I'm—I'm watching and I still have no clue. [''laughs'']
 
'''Babb''': And think about this: this kind of thing is happening in bookstores and toy stores all around the country. If you hadn't known it before, know it now: Pokémon is ''big.''
 
'''Randy Cost''': The biggest trend in kids' toy history, it's multi-multi-billion dollars.
 
'''Woman''': It's money. Big time money.
 
'''Babb''': You wish you invested?
 
'''Woman''': Yeah, that's true! [''laughs'']
 
'''Boy''': [''holds up card''] Jolteon!
 
'''Babb''': Jolteon.
 
'''Boy''': Mmmhm!
 
'''Babb''': What's special about Jolteon?
 
'''Boy''': He's holographic!
 
'''Babb''': In Chesterfield County, I'm Jim Babb, NBC 12.
 
'''Female Newscaster''': And those little cards aren't cheap; some merchants charge three bucks for a booster pack of— [video ends with a picture Chris created of a large Pikachu entering a Pokemon Center]
