>>36107776You people joke but I actually miss the apple pie feeling of waking up on a saturday morning to catch up with the latest episodes of pokemon after the neighbor kids recorded them.
Pokemon felt like an extension of the playground, a virtual jungle gym of adventure with all the other kids.
The character designs PERFECTLY reflected the ideals of a kid growing up in the 90s, dirty and scruffy with baseball caps and jackets.
None of us understood the cardgame but the card art was the shit.
I legitimately believe pokemon's lost its way only to start regaining it recently, I couldn't bring myself to play the games from the intervening years.
I don't understand why nostalgia is something to be ashamed of, we should all be proud to look at that scratchy pokemon cartridge and go "Yeah that's pokemon"
