OH IM SORRY! THEY DON'T DIE IN BATTLE! ONLY BECAUSE THEY GET SICK AND DIE LIKE PETS DO. THIS DOESN'T MAKE IT BETTER. I CAN COGNITIVE DISSONANCE THAT MY CAT ISN'T GONNA DIE IN ANIME BATTLE. BUT I SURE CANT WITH POKECANCER.

Hey all. I'm gonna keep playing Pokemon and maybe pop in this thread with anything really good, but I really just wanted to stop the thread here. Mostly to take a moment and talk about this experience. And ask one question: What did I learn in playing Pokemon for the first time?
Show this thread -
One answer is I feel like I caught up on 20 years of pop culture. Like I caught up on weird game tropes and phrases that y'all having been living with day in and day out. I'm now filled with that same understanding and desire to "catch em all!" etc.

Another is that I learned that it's impossible to "miss" anything in pop culture. That you can always come in and have a meaningful experience with something, regardless of timing or context. There's no such thing as being born to early or too late. There's just the experience.

But honestly, neither of these are the big thing I learned.

The big thing I learned is how much you all love pokemon. And why. Because it's not just some meaningless artifact that was a staple of your childhood. That's not its sole redeeming value. It's good because it's GOOD. And more importantly, it is a force of good.

It's gentle, and light, and calming, It's also weird beyond belief, full of the kind of bizarre rabbit holes that can make you have endless existential questions about the depicted world (I will never, ever get over Mr. Mime). But that's part of what makes it so great.

I feel like I've seen thousands of people react to this thread, from all across gender and sexual spectrums, all of whom found tremendous solace with this silly, amazing little phenomenon. You are so lucky that you had this in your lives. And I am so happy for you. <3HULK
