This is extremely embarrassing but I need to share it.

>be on the French side of the German/French/English bantz wars for years
>suddenly realize I'm being quite sympathetic to the britbongs lately
>wonder if it's because the new pokemon region is taking place in the UK
>realize I'm changing minds about something I had been doing for years just from a new pokemon announcement

It gets worse

>wonder if this has happened before
>track back to the hype train before the Hoenn remakes
>realized it was around the time I made my largest trip yet (two months abroad, just travelling).
>decided to make it a land trip because I prefer land travel over water or air travel
>spend hours upon hours of my vacation riding buses just because I decided I like Groudon more than Kyogre or (more importantly) Rayquaza

It gets worse

>go back to the release of XY
>check the time of announcement
>it's around the time I started learning French
>I gave up a year of German classes for this
>I probably chose France on the bantz war because fucking pokemon is French now

It gets worse

>chance to study abroad
>time to apply for universities
>accepted in a few
>select the university located in my favorite pokemon region at the time
>literally based a life changing decision on pokemon

tl;dr: My whole adult life has been made up of decisions based on Pokemon. Being vague on the details (and omitting a few more examples) to avoid getting dox'd.

Worst thing is that I didn't even finish any of the 3DS games. The only thing pokemon couldn't do was make me overcome my dislike of tropical islands, hence why I skipped PokeHawaii entirely. And before you say anything, Kyushu is not actually tropical.
