>>382370512
Yup. Friday nights were when we usually went to Blockbuster to rent movies, or N64 games for me. Remember renting Hey You, Pikachu over and over for at least a month straight.

Not sure why, considering the game frustrated the ever living shit out of me as a kid.

In my elementary school we didn't really have cliques within the classroom, basically the class was divided into all the boys hanging out together and all the girls hanging out together.

Pokemon was an event for all the boys when it happened.

Every boy in elementary school played Pokemon. We'd have a "bring your own toys" event at the end of every friday, and it basically meant everyone except the girls battled/traded Pokemon on their GameBoy.

This lasted until DBZ came along, at which point all the normal kids branched off onto the newest fad. Elementary school was pretty much over at that point, though.

Pokemon was insanely popular, at least when Red and Blue hit. If anything it was weird to be a young boy at the time and not have a GB with at least one version.

There was even an 'Elite Four' outside of our library where the best players sat on the steps and hung out during recess. A buddy of mine started selling Gameshark generated Pokemon to dumb kids and made extra cash as well.

Kids born in 2000 will be able to post here next year (assuming they respect the rules, which never happens kek)

I remember getting a TV with RCA cable inputs was one of the best things to happen to me because I kept having those cables lying around collecting dust and I fucking hated having to either unscrew RF Switches when I had to travel or daisy-chain them when I'm plugging the shit to my VCR or cable.

I was 7 when I figured that kind of shit out.

I had no idea Poe wrote about that. Are those just intrusive thoughts?

Also I remember an anthology of cartoon shorts that we used to watch on laser disc when I was a kid, probably hosted by Shelly Duvall, and one of the shorts was about a "bad word" (depicted as a tiny furry black thing that leapt from mouth to mouth at a party) that suddenly seems like a retelling of Imp of the Perverse.
