    What in the fuck is Pokemon? Seriously. Was it a cartoon? A game like D&D? Anime stuff?

    Am I the perfect age to have missed it all? (40)

    Is it because I never got in to comic books? Because I stopped playing video games at like 25?

    Not talking shit, I've just always been baffled..

    • You missed it. It was a card game (think Magic) and a cartoon, with an anime angle, and it hooked an entire generation now in its early twenties.monospaced

    • You didn't miss anything.pango
    • baseball cards and garbage pail kds. those were "card games" not in the sense of boards/points. Trading cards & looking them up in the Becket guide was fun.HijoDMaite
    • I played the first Pokemon on the game boy. It was fun. I tried to catch them all, and failed.

    • I'm 31 and I was super into it in 7th-8th grade. It's a pretty good premise: fighting animals to the death with magic!sarahfailin
