What purpose does fantasy literature serve?

Agree. This is perhaps the best answer of all IMO. Do you need a reason? You just like it, that's all.

My favourite quote (though I forget the exact text) from MC was: "I've been given half of this planet. What is half of nothing worth?"

Yes, but only a few episodes (couldn't find the time to follow it closely... ). Did watch the film, though. Edgar seems a bit... juvenile... though I quite like Tarzan -- for obvious reasons.

Pukémon MUST be destroyed, though.

I like it how you twist the spelling of Pokemon, Neb. Yup, he certainly makes you puke.
