Pokemon is 20 year old franchise and there is no way to monitor who comes here so it is just easier to let every one in.

I was originally content just watching friends play; I cared more about fun with friends than fun alone. By the time I asked for a game, Crystal and the GBA came out. My dad is really into new tech, so he shelled out for those instead. One of the coolest things he's ever done for me, in hindsight. I should thank him.

Not that guy but I turn 21 in a couple months. My parents wouldn't have spent that much on me, I had to get a paper run to by it myself. By then it was gen 3 and I got myself fire red. Always loved the show for as long as I can remember sorry my parents didn't buy me everything cunt.

I've started out with Red and I honestly don't care when someone started playing. Infact dare I say the kids are better off not experiencing the Pokemania. Atleast they'll enjoy the Pokemon games for what they are, instead of bandwagoning because of a fad and then leaving, only to become jaded assholes who hate on every game after Gold/Silver.

Yeah no, I'm actually really glad kids now don't have to fucking suffer. They deserve better. This game is so fucking bad because it's shoddily programmed, and you can say all you want "b-but the programming at the time! and m-muh gameboy ram/rom size!"
Fuck you, they would've fixed that shit by stadium, or at least yellow, but they didn't. The hyperbeam glitch is still in yellow but not stadium.

Also the Gameboy Color is essentially a gameboy but with color, so RBY have no excuse for being shitty when GSC was miles ahead of RBY's "quality"

I'm not a grandpa. I started playing in 2006.
I first watched the anime in 2001, and stopped watching when d/p came out. Funny enough Pearl was my first game.
I didn't even know games existed for pokemon until I was old enough to buy them.

I started in summer 1999. I actually got my first Pokemon game at the day care I went to. I collected the cards before even playing the games and ended up trading a holographic Jolteon for Red version. Started the addiction to the games and got Silver for my birthday, which was 9 days after launch.

I we're obsessed with pokeymans when anime first aired, skipped school to watch new episodes. Nobody had any gameboys in my country at the time, so I never even thought about playing games. Then they stopped airing it after kanto league, and I had to buy Johto adventures and movies on bootleg vhs cassettes. Got tired of it pretty fast, so I never watched anime after johto and only started playing games recently with firered

When I was a kid the big draw of Pokemon was trying to "catch 'em all," and while 150 was a big number it was nevertheless a realistically achievable number. The slogan was dropped when it was becoming painfully obvious that the tally was entering the multiple hundreds and no kid could be expected to accomplish it. So I can see OP's point and really do wonder what the draw of these games are for kids who never experienced its humbler beginnings.
