Not that guy, but you actually missed the height of pokemon. When it first came out it was nuts. You could literally talk to any other kid and instantly make friends and discuss a thing you both loved. You could talk to kids in older grades or younger grades too. Everyone was talking about it all the time. I remember going to a swimming lesson and making friends with a kid instantly. His favorite pokemon was zapdos.
It's not about the games as much as it was just being alive during the time where pokemon was everything for everyone in your world. I'm a teacher now and some kids still love pokemon, but they are rare. Most kids know some pokemon, but lots don't give a frick about it and the ones who love it can't just go talk to anyone about it.
This. I cant really imagine getting into the franchise to begin with if you were not there for its first big boom. It really is a generation milestone that old fricks decades later will probably still be able to relate with to others in their age group.

So will you and 99,99% of humans. Barely anyone accomplishes anything worthy of note to the rest of the world in their lives, you're not going to invent anything or create a company or concept that outlasts you, you're not going to write a best seller book or produce anything that people will care about in 100 years. The few people who actually care about you will die too.
Enjoy the ride homosexual.
Joke's on you, the games and the pokemania arrived i my country almost 8 years later than the rest of the world, therefore i could be 4 by the year 2000 and still experience the full extent of it
not him, but I'm actually from an alternate timeline where red and blue was pushed back to a GBC release. SO I experienced pokemania later than you. There is no Pokemon Crystal, as Gold and Silver were both similar to this timeline's Crystal. A lot of 'third installments' weren't released as a result, since it never became 'a thing.' Emerald and Platinum don't exist, and the series almost died when Gen 4 came out. Gen 5 were the first 3DS games and suffered because of it. XY are regarded as the best games in the series with all of their content, especially post-game.
You can't name a single thing related to pokemania that i had not experienced

pokemon poptarts had a limited run. Did you have them?

We didnt have poptarts at all until very recently but we had local products with limited pokemon editions that were not shipped to the US so it's pretty much even in this regard
El troony, you don't even have friends, you didn't even have a normal childhood , you have no family and no one to love you, people laugh at you behind closet doors, you spend your life on an american troonyshit forum because even at a young age you don't manage to have a social circle. Every previous generation did it better and was less lonely than you. All old people laugh knowing they lived a good life and were loved while you're counting the days to your suicide and will never even reach their age or an adult age. You proclaim your zoomzoomtroony techniques on sites that state you have to be 18+. Your autism pushes itself around in the hope of grooming more children to be as miserable as you. Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss of reality
If you were "12 by 2010", or in other words born in 1998, then you were a newborn infant when Pokemon first released in the west. You would be younger than the series itself, and depending on how late in the year you were born, even the English release of Red and Blue may predate you. Pokemania spread across the globe and then subsided while you were effectively primordial and had no concept of your surroundings. Why would your opinion on gens 1 and 2 matter, if age is a factor at all? Could it be because you were 12 in 2010, OP?
>I'm 31 so my opinion matters more than most of you.

You can't be the best because I'm objectively and observably better than you, you have never surpassed me and never will.
Just double checked and I am not anything resembling scum, you are a liar and projecting your own status as scum to feel better about yourself.
You are delusional.
I don't have to cope because I win.

lol lmao even
If you weren’t between the age of 9-12 in 1998, your opinion on the entire Pokémon franchise doesn’t matter
If you fell off and stopped playing during the gen 3-4 dark ages because it wasn’t cool to play anymore, your opinion on the entire Pokémon franchise past gen 2 doesn’t matter.
Smart man
If you weren't at least 12 by 2000, then your opinion on the first 2 gens doesn't matter. Simple as.
Go start a family grandpas why are you on a cartoon board on a Chinese website still
I'm here to make zoomers seethe by reminding them how they missed the peak of this franchise and will never be able to experience it.
This.
Anon I can play literally any of the games right now, besides I was fully mature for USUM anyways

>proud to be part of commercial culture
dont worry im sure they have other things to feel like an idiot for participating in
No amount of trolling le zoomers online will change the fact that you will die alone, sad and bitter, with no legacy left behind.
???
So will you and 99,99% of humans. Barely anyone accomplishes anything worthy of note to the rest of the world in their lives, you're not going to invent anything or create a company or concept that outlasts you, you're not going to write a best seller book or produce anything that people will care about in 100 years.

By legacy, I mean offspring. But that, as well.
calling offspring a legacy is a cope too. congratulations you threw more gears into the machine.
You could have just posted "have sex" anon.
Doesn't sting enough.
idk anon, obsessing over a fad from nearly 30 years ago is pretty damn sad
A fad that became the biggest ip in the world and is still going strong.
>nearly 30 years ago
23 years is not nearly 30
Joke's on you, the games and the pokemania arrived i my country almost 8 years later than the rest of the world, therefore i could be 4 by the year 2000 and still experience the full extent of it
So you live in a third world shithole that never experienced actual Pokemania.

No way, gay. Give it another 18 years and we'll see.

Go post on Reddit child, that's the site that was literally made for you as this one was made for us.

The opinion of no one born after 1996 matters
yep, simple as that
Wtf is Ganker doing on this board?
I literally thought this wasn't even/vp/
Zoomers who wienersuck nugens (6-8) are the ones to hate five, which is why you came to your conclusion.
Zoomers wienersuck the DS games. If anything they hate the GB games
Anything after gen 3 is Zoomer territory.
Gen 6 onwards is arguably gen alpha.
If you're under 25 your opinion doesn't matter on anything.
If you were "12 by 2010", or in other words born in 1998, then you were a newborn infant when Pokemon first released in the west. You would be younger than the series itself, and depending on how late in the year you were born, even the English release of Red and Blue may predate you.

*20
Fixed that for you, op.
>20 years later:
If you weren't at least 12 by 2030, then your opinion on the first 11 gens doesn't matter. Simple as.
by this logic none of us have any say on how gens 6-9 turned out
So you were born in 1998? newbie
>12
>not 20
>OP carefully worded it to include himself
