I desperately wish the world of Pokémon was real. It's a fantasy world I can escape in, and it's something I'm good at. My Pokémon are my friends when my girlfriend is being a cunt. Don't get me wrong, I have real friends too, but it's not the same.
I also enjoy the battling, training new Pokémon, the mystique of legendary Pokémon, and I have massive nostalgia which I refuse to ever let go of. The memories of the hype, what Pokémon felt like back then...just watch this video.
