>>50474080I was about 7-8 years old I think, and a friend asked me if I knew what a Pikachu was. I said no, she said it was a yellow squirrel and showed me her sticker album. Soon after everyone watched the anime, collected stickers and had a gameboy with either Red or Blue. I remember that during the first weeks it was generally accepted that Squirtle was the best starter because it learnt a super powerful move early on (it was Bubble).
