>>35698855I still wish i owned that magazine issue. the cover is just so awesome
my first real exposure was when my mom picked up a Pocket Pikachu during a business trip. then it went all downhill from there. I still wonder if id still be on the same hill if she hadn't introduced it to me
Prior to that, i just saw pikachu on store windows, and geocities webrings lumped in with neopets, digimon and monster rancher and thought nothing of it
