I got into Pokémon when the card game and anime first came to America. I was in jr high school at the time and collected so many of the original cards. Never finished my collection, though.
I got into the Pokémon craze at first, but stopped following it in my later years of high school. I was too busy preparing to be an adult, so I set it aside and forgot about it for years. I didn’t even know there were more than 151 Pokémon until over a decade later.
I learned some of the newer generations with Pokémon Go, but I still remember all of the original 151 Pokémon. The newer stuff is just weird to me.
EDIT: I never got into the games, even though they started releasing when I was a teenager. Pokémon Go was actually my first game in the franchise; although I watched my friends play the classic Red and Blue games back in the day.
Exploit the resources and peoples of the past by subjugating them to future tech and making the uninformed believe that we are immutable gods, and… oh wait, you said socialism
Might’ve been my kid. Took him to the doctor a few weeks ago and as soon as we got to the check-in desk he decided to throw up all over the desk, the rug in front of the desk, and me. I had extra clothes to change him into, but of course I didn’t bring extra clothes for me so I got to spend the next hour at the doctors office smelling like vomit.
I can name the first 251(gen 1 and 2) by heart and 3 by sight and name, but not by number. It gets a little easier when you realize Gen2 is only 100 pokemon, the smallest Gen. Celebi is #251 and you can work backwards to Mew.
Easy way to solve most gens if you have to fill out a blank sheet - The starters are always grass/fire/water in that order, so your first 9 are always solved. Then the 2 early game bugs(Butterfree and Beedrill/ledyba and spinarak) and HM rat (Rattata/sentret/zigzagoon)and then from there’s it’s wild west until the end. The pseudo-legendary evo of 3 are with the legendaries, and those come in a set of 3, followed by the 2 title characters plus their hidden legendary so that’s the back 9 solved for most gens. Gen 4 has more legendaries/pseudo legendaries so you get 12-15 for free on the back end.
There’s some new ones I like but fuck there’s over 1000 now. I’m happy just knowing up to 386.
