    Being eight years old wouldn't have been as amazing without Pokemon.

    Oh man....the nostalgia. I remember spending hours and hours playing pokemon yellow as a kid. I loved that game to death. Ha I remember how pissed Pikachu looked at me in the beginning of the game. The cartoons were great and sometimes even though I'm in college now I love to go play a good ol' pokemon game as a guilty pleasure. But not too often because let's be honest, 10 years of pokemon games can kind of wear down the formula a bit

    Same. It's an annual tradition for me, playing through the original Game Boy games.

    Pokemon defined my childhood. My best friend and I spent countless hours playing. I looked forward to car trips, because it was the only time my parents wouldn't get mad if I palyed nonstop for 8 hours.
