That sounds so good. They don't make music like that anymore.

hard to quantify but, the times when I still didn't know how many pokemon existed and sometimes I'd get pokemon cards of pokemon I couldn't even find in any of the games I had and had never seen yet and there's something about those days that are just intrinsically better than now. God, I miss having stuff to discover, now it's all out in the open. I fucking hate SwSh but i regret looking at the leaks because maybe if I didn't I could've sparked the feeling of discovering a new pokemon again, after all these years. Last time I felt like I had stuff to discover was the release of gen 5.

Lying in bed with a stupid GBA folding light/screen protector while I carved away at the pokedex or battle frontier medals. I completed the entire gen 3 dex by trading random kids and friends without ever buying the gamecube games, felt pretty good although I had to steal a kid's game to get some johto mons (I gave it back and didn't keep any of them, just took the dex entry)

I started with gen 1 but there was something special about finally playing GSC after all the hype and stupid rumors leading up to it. Being able to play through mostly blind, with only magazines to reference helped.
I didn't think this would ever be matched but then BW seemed to capture the same feeling for slightly different reasons.
For the record, I am not one of those people who skipped any gens

I had an early copy of Silver in Japanese, it was a magical experience to play at the peak of pokemania when RBY had been so popular.

I love how the lead instruments here intertwine. For a certain reason GSC OST has my favorite city music.

And my favorite battle music too.

It was a nice experience to play these games before internet, and, because of having only promotional things like toys, anime, and advertising, gen 2 took everybody by surprise. Then promotional material appeared for the new Pokemon and you, as a little kid put the pieces together.
And when Ho-Oh appeared in the very first episode of the anime and the Dex said it didn't have any idea of what that creature was contributed to that worldbuilding.
Pre-2000 years were a nice time to live.
