It's been so long

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.

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...
- With enough women, it's possible.

  Plus you already forgot Ivysaur!
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.

They are all called Pikachu.

Edit: per my grandmama

Maybe I am your grandma.

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

There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium, And hydrogen, and oxygen, and nitrogen, and rhenium...

  Pants, out of breath

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.

ah yes
the original 151
with such treasures of creative genius as purple rat
another rat
and my personal favorite
some eggs
- Don’t forget blackface thing mon
- Literally two Pokeballs with eyes, one is just flipped upside down. Peak design.
- I always enjoyed how the one mole evolves into 3 moles.

But gen 3 is when they started getting good.

i can remember all of them from when i was a kid, but that number has since tripled. if i was a kid now i don't think i would be able to learn all of them in the first place!

Triple isn't that bad. I knew 151 and then the main ones from the next few games (and didn't learn all the names, I don't remember any of the middle evolutions) but there are 1025 now
- It's a shame they didn't clue into the regional variants sooner. I love all the different Meowths. Would have been cool if each new game was remixes of existing pokemon.
  Instead of the increasingly humanoid and spikey looking digimon they've been coming up with.

Bulbasaur - Onion turtle

Geodude - Punchy rock

Meowth - That cat with the long-ass arms

E’rybody know that’s Big Dick Bee!
- Oh that one's pikachu

Dear Mr. President:

There are too many Pokemon. Please eliminate 500. I am not a crackpot.

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.

Electrode, Diglett, Nidoran, Mankey. Venusaur, Rattata, Fearow, Pidgey.

Seaking, Jolteon, Dragonite, Gastly
Ponyta, Vaporeon, Poliwrath, Butterfree

I can still remember the gen 1 starting pokemon, anyway.

Let's see, there's Squirdis, Barbarasoar, uh... Chortle? Oh no

Don’t forget Charmonger, Charmelon and Charlizzo!
- Let's play grill brand or pokeyman
  Char King
  Smokin' Champ
  Charcadet
Chortle was my favorite.
Don't forget about... WEENUSAUR!

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

Yeah but Ash is an idiot
- An idiot Pokemon master.

3...2....1

You disgust me OG baby

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. :)

A big group of friends? What kind of fucking fantasy land are you living in?
- 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.

I still feel confident I can nail Gens 1-4.

Eww

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.

What's the meme of this origin?

https://www.knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-hulk-crying
Apparently it was a popular meme format on Spanish social media first, and then it made its way here.

Greymon, Dracky, Haro, Snarf, Polkaroo...

you're just making stuff up now

I'm so old I never knew the names of most digipokes.

charlazard eggsactly broccoli damn

Ok, but what's this pokemon?

Spinda.

The only name you need to know.

My life was shit for most of my early life. I wish I could forget...
