Reminds me when Pokemon Go was the hot shit that got everybody outside and walking to play it
It felt like a true callback to 90s Pokemania… but only 90s Pokemania. PoGo at the time only had the original 151 in it, and it seemed all anyone had connecting them to the property was hazy nostalgic memories of Ash and Pikachu walking through the Kanto region on the TV twenty years ago.
Meanwhile I, with my 3DS and copy of Pokemon Omega Ruby in hand, far more fascinated with facets of this franchise that had happened long since that gilded age, didn’t really have anything new to connect over with anyone. And then the fad died and everyone stopped caring again. :/
