Any boomers online that are able to talk about the hype seasons of Gen 2 and 3?I find these the most fascinating, partly because of those wonderful wild west early Internet days, and also because of how unestablished Pokemon was at the time. I was reading the Bogleech reviews of these Pokemon recently, and he often mentions some very interesting tidbits, like how Pineco was one of the first leaked, Mawile was talked about as a bunny with mouth ears, Gligar was assumed as a Golbat evo.
Any boomers on here who experienced either of these build ups, leaks, and hype seasons, can you talk about what it was like, and how the Pokemon community online at the time was like?
