That said, for me personally, they did. When I played Silver, I was a kid. I didn't even know Ash and Red were different people. I had seen Brock and Misty, along with "Gary" prior to this, so seeing "Ash" wasn't a surprise at all. I thought it was cool and I found the battle to be immensely enjoyable, but that was it. No real "hype". What topped this for me, though, was a really simple moment. When they revealed Red and Blue would be in SM. The music, the unpredictability, and their new look made me scream out loud in a high pitched voice, like a little fangirl. I proceeded to spam to board with them for the new week. It was much more "hype" than meeting Red in Silver for me.
>>32301491>battle with the autistic child of PETA that is also obsessed with mathIt was awful and you know it. And I mean it. It was shit. I thought the entry the Legendaries made looked great, but the rest was shit. I hated how they forced me to use a Pokemon I didn't want to. They went against the spirit of Pokemon because "muh tragic villain and rivalry". Fuck that.
