>Gen 1 - 3
I was caught up in Pokemania. I presumed I'd be a pokemon fan forever

>Gen 5
First game I just played on emulator. I didn't hate it, but I never got back to it

>Gen 7 - 8
Around the time I realized I wasn't really having fun with these games anymore. I tried out competitive. Figured maybe the PvP was where the fun was. And while I found some fun, I didn't go back to those games

>Gen 9
Where I stopped giving these games grave. TPC blatantly lied and I felt the fool for defending them for so long. Maybe I was actually defending my childhood and how happy I felt with pokemon then. But I was finally done
