My story is more modern, I was born in 2006 and grew up with x and y, gen 6, I played the game a tiny bit and grew up with the xy anime and the classic one too. I feel out of love during gen 7, sun moon, the games were confusing, the anime was different, so I left. My brother told me to try out sword and shield years later, I reluctantly got sword, and..... I feel in love again, I loved pokemon again, sword was so much fun. It was my first pokemon game I actually beat. Pokemon journeys on Netflix was even a series along side the games that I loved so much. Now, in gen 9, I'm a full fledged fan again, with no sign of stopping

I... what made sun and moon confusing to you when you were a kid?

[@Magma-Idiot-2001]

Sun and moon was pretty blunt with what GF were testing out, how was it confusing?

I wish i had more of a Pokémon childhood, these stories made me jealous that i wasn't able to create memories like that. But i also felt immense happiness for you and all these wonderful experiences you had with something you love, and how Pokémon made such a big impact and wonderful memories like this. I feel inspired.. just to add: You also inspire me a lot bcs in the future i want to create a channel like urs 🩵✨ Ty for everything.

Unlike many others, I don't have a special story about a missconception made as a kid about Pokemon. But you see, I was a emulator fan (we didn't have much access to portable consoles in Argentina when I was born), and with my older broded we shared that love for Pokemon and we were excited to unwrap the mysteries of the Hoenn region with a keyboard. One of my proudest memories was figuring out that both Kyogre and Groudon were available in Pokemon Emerald, and running to the next room to tell my older brother how I caught them and proudlly showing him my collection. Then we would sit smiling and sharing a moment that made me feel just like this video did. Now, lots of things are moving way too fast in my life and this video reminded me of simpler times. When all I cared about was that Kyogre wasn't getting inside the fucking Super Ball ('cause of the matching colours) and why my brother's team was so powerfull and well balanced. Love your content Karim, I'm really happy that you've grown so much as a professional.

My tragic story was losing my first Pokémon game. I had accomplished so much and having it stolen broke me. And insult to injury I couldn’t play gens 6-8 because I couldn’t get another 3rd or a switch at that time. However I still kept up and love Pokémon, and even though you aren’t directly involved with something doesn’t mean you can’t love it.

[@Hex.A.Decimal]

I'm really sorry you went through that. The loss of something that expensive with that much time invested is really devastating especially when you're young (and broke). Thank Arceus for emulators, as you can play old games with new Pokemon added. Have you gotten a new system?

[@andrewharris1344]

@@Hex.A.Decimal it’s fine I got over it, but yeah I finally got a switch so I’m playing LA and SV i didn’t bother with SWSH because gen 9 was coming out 2 months later. Luckily I was able to get an emulator and was able to play black 2 again however it’s blaze black 2 which is also fun.

[@Hex.A.Decimal]

@@andrewharris1344 Blaze Black is super awesome, Radical Red too. I'm happy for you.

I’m a odd case…. but, yet again… there’s always a few Oddballs, right? I was never into Pokémon when growing up, in fact I nearly despised it, or more accurately, despised Pikachu. However this despise was because my Little Brother was into Pokémon, and I constantly was forced to hear “Pika Pika” on the TV when the anime was on. However one of the episodes captured me. I’m pretty sure it was the Gen 1 Anime, and it was the one where Ash and the Gang went to the Pokémon Tower and befriended a Haunter. I was into paranormal stuff, and still am, but when I asked my little brother what those were and he replied “Ghost Pokémon”…. I was intrigued. I then did some research of my own and went down a rabbit hole. Around this time I was into Creepypasta’s and you can imagine my excitement when I found out of stories like The Unown King and The Lost Silver. Some even mentioned of a Glitch Pokémon called MissingNo. I was then hooked. Some time later and my Little Brother gets Pokémon Sun for Christmas. He gets lost easily because he keeps skipping dialogue, but has a fun time, and I was there with him. I later decided to get my own copy of Moon and….. well… now we are here. I’m currently enjoying the Paldea Region with my Mimikyu as the head of the pact just like how he was in Moon. I have chosen the Fire Starter for the 4th Time in a row and was delighted when I found out he was Fire and Ghost, filled with the same delight I felt in Hisui with Typhlosion. I currently am getting pumped for the DLC, and for Mimikyu to be added to Pokémon Unite. Can’t wait to see what happens next… and with that, I Hope Everyone has a Fantastic Day! ^-^

Clarification: I made the Unown King art :D

[@PokemonFan-bk6vc]

I got into Pokémon around 2016 when Pokémon Go came out! I still really love it today & I cherish my Pokémon friends. But it was not easy because back in late 2020 someone in my life drove me crazy & because of that, I started having very bad negative thoughts & every time I would try being with my friends, my brain would start making fun of them & it made it impossible to play. That went on for 5 months until May 3rd of 2021 when I had my 2-year anniversary with Feraligatr! A fun fact about me is that I loved my Pokémon so much even treating them like my own kids. Even to this day, I still do that, but my friendship with Pokémon like Feraligatr is better than ever. Pokemon makes me super happy & I enjoy taking care of them. It is about the only thing that makes me happy now, so if I lost it, I would not be in a good place mentally!

[@user-jl8td7tb9y]

I was born the day after its first anniversary so I have some connection to me.

[@ShortRacoon]
