Ah, the good old days in 1998 where my biggest worry was whether there was enough charge left in my Gameboy when I faced down the Elite 4. I remember being ecstatic when I played Pokemon Yellow for the first time, getting Pikachu as my starter and realizing how horribly unprepared I was for Brock’s gym (hint: get a Caterpie and evolve it to a Butterfree. Psychic makes quick work of Geodude and Onyx)
I’ll admit it — I’m a bit of a geek. But how couldn’t I be? Pokemon kept an entire generation of kids spellbound, with the hit TV show, a trading card game and countless games…
