Tell me about Pokemania in your area

>2nd world country
>few people can afford to buy their kids a game boy and games
>even if they do, you would have hard time finding anyone to battle and trade with
>Pokemania starts in 2000 and is centered around anime and tazos added to chips
>(most kid crazes back then consisted of tv show + some cheap collectibles/toys)
>on top of that, tons of other pokemon merchandise, not always actually licensed lol
>some people played pokemon on PCs but it still wasn't common, pokemania was mostly little kid thing and it would be hard for them to get emulators, roms and play a game in foreign language
>in 2005 it kinda comes back but its far from being as big as first time
>3th gen anime is aired and corresponding tazos are released
>this time I am able to actually play the games which is nice
