But then how are you posting?

>>33441274
It will when Game Freak does the following
>Finally decides to become competent developers, expanding their team from a meager 60 to 600+
>Reboot the series. HARD. I don't mean erase the old Pokemon and make only new ones. I mean straight up start over. Red and Blue remakes again, a new starting point for the series.
>Abandon the Ashime, and create a new series more in line with the plot of the games.
>Reboot the TCG. Erase all powercreep and start back at square one.

>>33441265
It was pretty cool. I remember watching a tv show and trying to be the sixth caller to tell them the third Pokemon in the dex is Venusaur. I didn't win.

Truly the best times. Not to mention that pokemon was everywhere; it was on poptarts, backpacks, pencils, shirts, the cards you traded with your bros at school. Fuck.

The tcg isn't actually in too much power creep,
Compare to evolutions to crimson invasion.

130-160 charizard, non ex, gx 150-190 ex non M , gx 180-260 GX era, M ex 230+

Power creep has actually slowed down

>>33441466
>The tcg isn't actually in too much power creep,
the biggest lie i have ever heard
basic pokemon used to average about 40 HP
now its 90 HP

>>33441274
It almost did with poke go

>>33441265
You mean Pokémon GO?

>>33441492
>This is what people born after 1999 believe
Trust me, GOmania was nothing compared to Pokemania. Nothing.

To this day i still thank god for never discovering the Pokemon games when i was a little kid. All i cared about when i was a kid was in the Anime. If only i had discovered Pokemon had games back then i would probably have become like the 90% of /vp/ posters here.
A weeb, lolicon, furry lover who still plays children games and buys videogame consoles.
THANK YOU GOD

>>33441660
it was still a pretty good moment. it was like watching an old cartoon i missed for years, and enjoyed it for like a week before ive had my fill of it

>>33441713
i dont even know why it was a fad in the first place.

>tfw I didn't have a gameboy during the original poke-mania
>tfw I did watch the anime with my sister
>tfw I can remember turning the volume on the tv up all the way so we could record to the pokerap on our computer in the other room.
>tfw we even had a couple starter decks that came with that weird Pokemon play it disc
>tfw I didn't even know Pokemon was a video game franchise until the kanto remakes came out.

I somehow simultaneously loved Pokemon while not even knowing what it actually was.

I don't get how the Pokemon on the right are supposed to be freaking him out. They look just as cute as the ones on the left. In fact they're more on-model than the Gen I mons, which are simplified from their actual designs. The only reason to think they're any worse is because of the dark, cloudy skies in the background.

>>33441265
People back then said it was gonna be a fad, it was gonna disappear like Beanie Babies and Furbies. Yet, we're still here, sure, a significant decrease happened around Gen 3, but those games still sold like hot cakes and continue to sell like hot cakes, and to this day there are still competitors trying and failing to copy Pokemon's success.

I WANT TO BE THE BEST
THAT EVER WAS
TO BEAT ALL THE REST
YEAH THAT'S MY CAUSE
