Recently got asked by a youngster whether I know Pokémon.

Kid … I was there, 3000 years ago at the beginning.

My kid is getting into Minecraft and it’s so hard to not stop their excitement by being like “yeah, I know, I’ve been playing this for longer than you’ve been alive” because I love how excited they get learning about how to make basic shit (and they’re playing ATM10,so there’s a TON of shit they haven’t even come close to seeing) and sharing that with me.

i prefer vintage story
Show threadjj4211Mar 27

Reminds me of a time when my nephew was playing vintage Super Mario Kart and started trash talking me about how long they had been playing and that I didn’t stand a chance.

“I was playing this since before you were born kid”

Most kids these days don’t get any references before Pokemon…like McGuyvering…so I resent Pokemon because of that…

I was 22 when Pokemon started becoming popular in the US. You really feel being a Gen Xer in a Millenial nostalgia world!
Show threadMinnesotaGoddamMar 25
yeah, i’m an older Xennial and my younger sibling was not allowed to watch anime for reasons. My first handheld gaming console was my first smartphone in 2014? I don’t understand pokemans at all.

I have a neighbor who’s four years older than me, but the rift between 1983 and 1987, technology, seems insurmountable, it’s insane.
Show threadMinnesotaGoddamMar 25
yeah. she had a smartphone when the first one came out. i didn’t get my first cell until 2007 because who wants people to be able to get ahold of them all the time

Started getting popular… The original release of games in 1998 was an enormous success here in the US, Pokemon was popular from inception; when are you referring to?

    I tell my kids that any pokemon beyond the original 151 is a fake pokemon.
