Recently got asked by a youngster whether I know Pokémon.

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

I was 22 when Pokemon started becoming popular in the US. You really feel being a Gen Xer in a Millenial nostalgia world!
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.
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?
Okay xoomer, I bet you don’t get spongebob references either do ya!
Not directly! Only if they’re repeated a lot online.

What a sad, depraved life… 😔
