    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.

      "Kids these days"TM don’t get any references before Pokemon…like McGuyvering, Voltron…so I resent Pokemon because of that…😬
