My secret to remember then is to have children.
It's been so long

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…
zloubida@lemmy.world 1 year ago
With enough women, it’s possible.

Plus you already forgot Ivysaur!
The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 year ago
How early did you introduce the games (or show)?
Mine are still years away.
zloubida@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.
gearheart@lemm.ee 1 year ago
They are all called Pikachu.

Wrong. They’re all pokey man.

I still have an easier time remembering all the original pokemon than I do the periodic table of elements.

MercuryGenisus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s the companys fault for looking at the 151 and saying, what if we replaced all this with random bullshit? I miss the og pokemon. I tried playing newer games but damn, it’s pure chaos.
caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
ah yes
the original 151
with such treasures of creative genius as purple rat
another rat
and my personal favorite

Everything past gen 2 isn’t legit anyways
Randomguy@lemm.ee 1 year ago
But gen 3 is when they started getting good.
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Bulbasaur - Onion turtle
Geodude - Punchy rock
Meowth - That cat with the long-ass arms
SpraynardKruger@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I can still remember the gen 1 starting pokemon, anyway.
Let’s see, there’s Squirdis, Barbarasoar, uh… Chortle? Oh no
thorbot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Don’t forget Charmonger, Charmelon and Charlizzo!
0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago

Chortle was my favorite.

Dear Mr. President:
There are too many Pokemon. Please eliminate 500. I am not a crackpot.
ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
If I need to say the names of the pokemons I’ll forget something like Tangela, but if I see the image of the pokémon I can remember the name. Things get fuzzy at the same time that I stop watching the anime.
L0rdMathias@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Electrode, Diglett, Nidoran, Mankey. Venusaur, Rattata, Fearow, Pidgey.

Even Ash couldn’t pass the identification test and he still managed to become a master.

RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Don’t worry trainer, you can always get back together in a big ol’ group of all your friends and between everyone we’ll be able to figure out all their names. :)
CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 1 year ago
A big group of friends? What kind of fucking fantasy land are you living in?
RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Uhhh… The internet? lol
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.
ssj2marx@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Pretty much as soon as gen 2 came out 13 year old me said “yeah I’m not gonna remember all these goobers”.
davemeech@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
I still feel confident I can nail Gens 1-4.

NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 1 year ago
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 1 year 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.
RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 1 year 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.
BakerBagel@midwest.social 1 year ago
The grass Joto starter was literally named after looking in the spice cabinet.
Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
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.
Mango@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If you can’t see it, you can’t see it. I can’t point it out to you.
The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m pretty sure the only ones that have truly stuck with me are the first gen.
taiyang@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t remember exactly, but didn’t design change hands pretty early on? The first 151 were designed by a fairly famous character designer, iirc
MonkderDritte@feddit.de 1 year ago
Ok, but what’s this pokemon?

Apparently it was a popular meme format on Spanish social media first, and then it made its way here.

do you still remember vaporeon?
ICastFist@programming.dev 1 year ago
Did you know…
The_Helmet_Stays_On@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
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.
