You are now reading the pinned post of my Pokemon blog, hello there.
This blog’s aim is to celebrate the golden age of pokemon, which this blog refers to as “The Poke’ Boom”, this blog’s aim was not meant to say things were better back then, just that they were different in ways beyond what one can understand simply by playing the original games or their remakes in the modern day and watching the indigo league on Netflix.
The Pokeboom was an insanely exciting time, and while Pokemon is popular even still today, it cannot compare to the mania it caused during those first few years. EVERYONE was talking about it, not just the fans. Pokemon was in headlines, magazine stands, cereal boxes, commercials for waffles and spaghettios, late night talk shows, it was parodied, there were live musical story driven concerts, the voice actors did sketches with other cartoon characters between commercials, it was nuts. The only recent event that came even close to that was that first year of Pokemon Go, but that still doesn’t compare to the real Pokeboom.
Now, while this blog did not originally exist with the purpose of saying “old pokemon better”, this blog was made around 2015, and things were a little different back then. I don’t have the same respect and admiration for this series I used to have, as I feel like the quality of what they have been releasing has fallen drastically from gen six onward. And I will from time to time voice my displeasure with The state of the franchise. So fanboys, ye be warned. I don’t complain to be a “Big fat toxic meanie poopie head” I do it because Pokemon used to be very important to me and I would like for it to be important to me again. That doesn’t mean being gen ½ again, try to remember that I loved this series up until gen 5.
Feel free to send asks, but please keep it on the topic of this blog. Direct anything unrelated to my main @always-thirsty-pocket or if it’s about video games, direct it to @game-boy-pocket, Digimon is acceptable in relation to pokemon but if you just want to shoot the shit about Digimon, hit up my Digimon blog @digi-egg-in-your-pocket
I will occasionally post non pokemon stuff but it will still be tangentially related in a way, like it was a competitor that emerged in reponse to pokemon such as all the various monster taming games like telefang and monster rancher. But those sort of posts will be rare and tagged with #not Pokemon
I can’t be bothered to tag much more than that, so follow at your own risk.
If you enjoy anything i’ve done, be it art, or the original posts i’ve made on this blog, consider giving me a little tip on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/A057359G So far my ko-fi is dedicated to my virtual pet artwork project alone but it may become a little more in time.
