>>53350753Most people didn't have home Internet in 1996 and 1997 either. Pokemania was spread mostly by word of mouth since kids would tell other kids to watch the anime. I first heard about Pokémon when a girl in my 2nd grade class brought some gachapon toys to school that her father had bought in Japan before Red and Blue were brought over to the US. My first exposure to the games was when my friend from church brought his Gameboy with him on a school field trip.
