>>49948457>Pokemon MemoryVery hard to pin down. Maybe playing Gold under the covers when I was supposed to be sleeping as a kid? Or the first time I ever played it? Or when I first saw Eevee in the anime and instantly knew that I loved that Pokemon, then the moment I got one from Bill in Gold? Watching the movies with my family? Reading the games text to my little brother because he wanted to play them but couldn't read yet? Getting an Eevee plush from Build-a-Bear? Playing aganst my friends in Pokemon battles with the Eevee team I raised up in Heart Gold? Too many, anon, too many. There is a reason Pokemon stays relevant to me all these years later, and all the memories are one of the biggest reasons.
>Holding up mentally?Well, hard to self-diagnose, but I do believe I'm fairing quite well, compared to what I'm seeing in this thread! I wish I could help the people here with more than words, but I do think that, if the world is allowed to continue, things will get better... after they get a little worse. All the stuff going on in the world is terrible, but still seems "far away" for lack of a better way to describe it. The worst that I could say for my own life is I just don't have as much free time as I want, ever. I know this is a very wrong thing, but I'm jelly of those who got to self-isolate during lockdown. Also, I think having Covid twice has literally made me dumber, or just... different in a way that is hard to pin down. But I might be wrong, nobody else has noticed anything.
