>>310503481. Parents bought me Pokemon Blue at the Athens Airport to shut me and my brother up as we were heading home. I had no idea what Pokemon was before that moment.
2. 8, now I'm 24
3. Still vidya, but I appreciate the card game to an extent and the anime has it's moments. Oh and manga was bretty gud but I only read the RB and RS sagas in full.
4. Grass. Favorite mon is
Heatran , but Flygon is a close second.
5. Definitely Mudkip. I probably wouldnt even attempt to evolve it cause the base form seems perfect as a house pet.
6.
Best - the Pokemon themselves. The number one reason the series has become so succesful.
Worst - honestly, the widespread hacking. Playing Pokemon Go and mobile games with gacha mechanics made me realize how much I miss rare shit actually feeling, you know, rare. As a game about collecting, mainline Pokemon is sadly unable to scratch that itch in me anymore.
7. I honestly can't begin to imagine. I just hope the series manages to stay relevant, like Mickey Mouse and Star Wars still manage to feel fresh for the new generations despite being several decades old.
