I have to agree. I've accepted that the Pokedex part of my brain is never going to be reclaimed. What worries me though is that it will end up being even worse than standardized testing. I fear that these "games" will be nothing more than smaller, more frequent tests that will be used to generate metrics which will be used to "fund" individual students.

That brings to mind a classic issue - it isn't the tech but how it is used. The same standardized test approach which combines the worst features of feudalism and bueracracy with the virtues of neither was there before. The games or lack of them won't change that. I vividly remember how in Elementary School they had workbooks after workbooks of multiple choice analogies with words used within occasionally unexplained. They insisted it was all very important when we asked why so overboard. The real answer became obvious when the SAT was changed to have a writing section instead of an analogies one and they promptly vanishes into the void only to appear on standardized tests four questions a year at very most. They didn't even have the honesty to say "It is used a lot for in important test."
