    do you still remember vaporeon?

      Did you know…

        that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable Pokemon? While their maximum temperature is likely too much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them undeniably incredibly soft to touch. But that’s not all, they have a very respectable special defense stat of 110, which means that they are likely very calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day, you can vent to it while hugging it, and it won’t mind. It can make itself even more endearing with moves like Charm and Baby Doll Eyes, ensuring that you never have a prolonged bout of depression ever again.

    My secret to remember then is to have children.

    • taiyang@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yes, but after naming my first child Bulbasaur and my second one Venusaur, I’m not sure I can sire enough children to fill in the first 150, let alone the full roster…

      How early did you introduce the games (or show)?

      Mine are still years away.

        They know the most well known Pokémon thanks to merch and a few old cards that my wife and me had when we were children and conserved.

        My oldest watched a few episodes when she was 5, and “read” a Pokémon manga after (she watched the images, she didn’t know how to read). I promised her that I will teach her how to play the cards when she’ll know how to read … I will keep my promise and buy her her own deck for her 7th birthday :-)

        I got my kiddo playing around 4 or 5. Mainly just watching. Eventually he started playing games like Coromon, and other monster catchers. The newest Pokémon sadly haven’t run well on his switch either, so I’ve been trying to get him on the older but still favorites like Pearl or Diamond.

        You can get together with a small group of friends if you’re more comfortable that way, but the sentiment is the same. Find some people and have fun remembering your shared past.

    I get fuzzy on anything after Black/White. Hisuian and Alolan regionals would probably be my saving grace after that, I never found the will to finish Sword and have had 0 interest in Scarlet/Violet.

  • Mango@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    After a certain point the Pokemon started being made with the level of creativity and identity you can expect from AI generated garbage, so I don’t blame you for forgetting them.

    source
    • RadicalEagle@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Honestly I don’t even think gen 1 Pokémon are anymore creative than the others. I was still a kid when the concept was new so they felt fresh, but pretty much every Pokémon I can think of is based on an existing archetype of some sort. Plant/Animal, inanimate object brought to life, spirits, dinosaurs, etc. Then you sprinkle on some regional flavor and there you go, you got a Pokémon.

      “Identity” isn’t something that belongs to the object, it’s something that is assigned to the object by an observer.

        This is why, in retrospective, I’ve really fallen out of love with Pokémon. I could have spent that time learning about real-world animals and plants, since it’s so arguable, whether Pokémon are even cooler to begin with.
