It's nearing Pokemon's 20th anniversary, and the company is going to be celebrating all year. The Pokemon Company will be releasing special Pokemon cards, a new game, and even a Super Bowl commercial, among many other things. I'm so happy that Pokemon has come this far, it gave and is continuing to give me and my brothers bonding material and great fun. In this post, I'm going to tell how I came to love Pokemon so much and why I'm still in love with the franchise.
When I was little, Pokemon was extremely popular in school and at home. People watched the anime, traded the cards, and played the games. I was among those people, and though I didn't yet have a console to play the games on, I still enjoyed the franchise in other ways. I watched the anime whenever it was on, I bought the cards and toys, and I read the books and watched the movies. When I got older, only then did I realize how amazing it is to embark on your own Pokemon journey.
It may sound funny to people who aren't fans of Pokemon, or to people who don't know much about it, but Pokemon brings people together. That's what I've experienced. I made friends and strengthened relationships using Pokemon. Once I started Pokemon White, the first Pokemon game I ever owned, I began to understand this fact on a deeper level. Pokemon is about making friends, whether they're animal or human, and to strengthen the relationships you have with those friends. Pokemon is deep, man. I hope that all Pokemon fans enjoy this awesome celebration, and to those who aren't fans, give Pokemon a try. I think you'll really enjoy it. Happy birthday Pokemon!
