Gen I I was in kindergarten - 1st grade, super into it. Pokemon everything: pencils - underwear
Moved across the country (Illinois to Texas) and missed out on half of Gen 2 cuz I jumped between 3 elementary schools in a short span of time.
Got into Gen 3 alone and no one at my new elementary school was into it (this part of the US hadn't gotten the WB channel that Pokemon used to air on at my old state)
Abandoned Gen 4 to make friends and get laid. It worked.
Gen 5 by the time I was in college, got back into it after my friends moved out of state.
Gen 6 dropped out of college, still into it so I wouldn't blow my brains out while my friends were becoming doctors and shit. Rekindled my love of this franchise and jumped back in hard.
Gen 7 back in college and still as into it as I was in elementary school, married, and happy.
