I’ve never felt more connected and disconnected with my smallest family members than talking Pokémon. "Fuck yeah I know Pikachu, let’s go Chraizard, let me tell you about the beast that is Swampert, me and the folks used to ban legendaries and Garchomp and… What the fuck is a super-size Gigantamax Velaryon-Z mode Gizzantex-o?
Maybe it’s always been a gambling addiction, i dont really know. My kids (and their whole school) don’t play, but they buy and trade like they think they will make money. Some look up prices on TCG, some don’t. They think alt art, misprints, and the one good card you get per pack is worth gold. I only let them buy with money they make.
Same, it’s like a 50/50 chance I’ll know the pikemon they’re talking about.
Gigantamax is just a form they can take that makes them huge, just like mega evolutions back in the day. There’s also EX formes, V, V star and a few others. It’s just alternative forms for that generation, it’s really not that hard to grasp
just like mega evolutions back in the day
Which day was that? I played Yellow, Gold, and Ruby/Sapphire and have never heard of mega evolutions. Though I did know of gigantamax since I bought sword and shield for my niece and myself.
Kids these days don’t know how good they have it. They have over 1000 Pokemon to choose from. Back in my day, we only had 150 Pokemon and most of the good ones were psychic.
Sad Lion
Yeah I hate when young children try to tell me about their interests fuck them I’m smarter
If children were so smart, why are they still children?
