Pokemon



I've always really liked Pokemon, but it feels like the older I get the more I appreciate the whole experience. A lot of this has to do with the nostalgia, but I think some of it also has to do with the fact that when I was a younger kid I had a pretty bad home life, and Pokemon was one of the few things I was allowed to enjoy, and it was how I connected with a lot of my kids who ended up being my friends. I'm a big fan of the games (I went to VGC last year) and I always have loved the first series of the TV show despite the fact that it's actually kind of bad and really corny. There's just this feeling of pleasure that I get whenever I do something with Pokemon, but it's different from nostalgia. I feel like I'm kind of rambling here, so I'm gonna cut this short.

  1. pokemon is actually really cool nostalgia or not. But only the first 150 from red blue and yellow... okay maybe silver gold and crystal as well, but that's as far as i'll go.

  8. Pokemon was, is and always will be awesome. But the more pokemon they make, the more repetitive it gets. The original 150 will always have a special place in my heart no other pokemon will get.
