When I read this...I thought about Arcadian of course!

When Chris Herbert decided to pop the question to his girlfriend of three years, Belle Starenchak, he picked the most romantic place he could think of: Anime Weekend Atlanta, with both dressed as Pokemon. It ... kind of makes sense for them.

Belle, or "PikaBelleChu," is featured in the Guinness Book of World Records: Gamer Edition for her massive Pikachu memorabilia collection, and Herbert met her by staging a Pokemon auction. So while we might be tempted to laugh, it would seem that the pursuit of 'em all is a major component of this couple's lives.

And now that they've done this -- a proposal in Pikachu and Raichu outfits, all floppy fake mouse ears on their hats and yellow glove slipped off to try on the ring that came out of the Pokeball -- we believe that the world's quota for Pokemon-themed proposals has just been filled.

By the way, it was super effective. See the moment after the break.

They can't reporduce. Why?

Even if married, the law of nerdom says that they have passed the lower limit on being able to get laid.

I'm all for a little outside the box approaches to the institution of marriage, but this seems pretty out there. I guess whatever works, but do you really want to do something that your hypothetical kids are going to so likely be unproud of?

I was about to make a snarky remark, but then I thought of all the people recently involved in the twilight business... and I realized maybe I'm just the odd one out.
