>>36460787>I'd never fully take pokemon out of my life, it helped me cope with my circumstances and I know it's been the same for others too.Same though. Even after Diamond was a disappointment and I decided I was too cool for pokemon, I still couldn't help playing through Emerald every now and then. Got back into the games a couple years ago and they've helped me through some really tough times since. There's just something inherently nice about the combination of nostalgia for better days and wholesome escapism that pokemon games offer.
