>>49986940>why we all obsess about Pokémon or could never let go of a children’s franchiseSame reason people are fans of Marvel superheros, the same reason things like Steven Universe or Star Trek or MLP or Digimon or Sonic or even Mario take off and continued to be loved for generations after: anything that leaves good memories in the human mind will forever be associated with those good memories, thus for many people Pokemon activates the "I loved this, I've got good memories and am invested in this" part of the brain.
>why...so many autistsSame reasons as above, but take everything to 11, and probably more reasons I don't know, I'm not expert on that.
>... mature look into the inner machinations of why the fandom is the way it is...I think that isn't even possible from inside any fandom, and people outside the fandoms generally don't care, so I don't think this is going to happen. A good method might be to compare it to others, because really, the Pokemon fandom isn't all that different from the Sonic or Star Trek or MLP ones. It has just lasted a long time, because the franchise itself has.
>what it is like working at TPC...Probably not great, desu. Though I would love to see a Pokemon Documentary.
