scrubjayspeaksPokemon is 25 years old! That's a real wild concept for me! I've been playing continuously for 22 of those years!
I don't actually feel old when I think about that. My brain just kind of blithely laughs and thinks, oh, don't be silly, that can't be true. I am but a small child playing on my Gameboy Color in the shade, hoarding batteries and trying to decide who to use this TM05 Mega Kick on. I will always be a kid and it will always be summer.
I'm so excited for the upcoming remake of Pokemon Snap. I played the original N64 version obsessively back in the day. Over the years, I've moved away from most of the secondary Pokemon games--Ranger, Mystery Dungeon, etc--and just stuck with the mainline games and remakes thereof. But Snap? Oh, heck yeah.
I've been really happy to see meta and memes and art for Pokemon on tumblr. It seems that it's still a home for a lot of us who grew up with it. In particular, I liked this one that talks about how Pokemon is a world that would be very nice to settle down in for a quiet life as an NPC.
Also, enjoy this breakdown on the translation and localization involved in one of the most beloved and random lines in the series: comfy and easy to wear!
