>>54886039I rewatched the original anime and it brought me back, but only because I grew up when it all happened. Playing the original gameboy games (not the remakes) would help. The gameboy TCG game is also another good throwback. Manga? I can do without it
But basically you had to be there, there's no way around it. It was everywhere at the time man. And imo the pokemon go "craze" was just a hollow meme cashing in on that same nostalgia, came nowhere close to the original Pokemania.
