Sitting in a McDonalds in 1998 when I was 7, another kid came over to me all excited and talking about this new show that was going to start airing. He had printed pictures of a few stills of the intro, including pic related. My young mind was blown to pieces as I discovered Pokemon and the Internet in the same moment. Very shortly after that a friend of my dad's who worked in Japan sent over a magazine with the original 150 Pokemon listed. No English names or indications of what evolved into what, so I spent a solid weekend trying to figure out if Articuno evolved into Zapdos, then Moltres.
