My secret to remember then is to have children.
Yes, but after naming my first child Bulbasaur and my second one Venusaur, I’m not sure I can sire enough children to fill in the first 150, let alone the full roster…
With enough women, it’s possible.

Plus you already forgot Ivysaur!
You’re right! Now I gotta start over. Drat
How early did you introduce the games (or show)?
Mine are still years away.
They know the most well known Pokémon thanks to merch and a few old cards that my wife and me had when we were children and conserved.
My oldest watched a few episodes when she was 5, and “read” a Pokémon manga after (she watched the images, she didn’t know how to read). I promised her that I will teach her how to play the cards when she’ll know how to read … I will keep my promise and buy her her own deck for her 7th birthday :-)
That’s adorable. I’m so excited to be able to share this with my kids too.
My oldest only knows the name “Charmander” from a stuffed animal, but that’s it.
I got my kiddo playing around 4 or 5. Mainly just watching. Eventually he started playing games like Coromon, and other monster catchers. The newest Pokémon sadly haven’t run well on his switch either, so I’ve been trying to get him on the older but still favorites like Pearl or Diamond.
They are all called Pikachu.
Edit: per my grandmama
Wrong. They’re all pokey man.
Maybe I am your grandma.
I still have an easier time remembering all the original pokemon than I do the periodic table of elements.
There’s antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium, And hydrogen, and oxygen, and nitrogen, and rhenium…
Here you go buddy:
Dear Mr. President:
There are too many Pokemon. Please eliminate 500. I am not a crackpot.
I can still remember the gen 1 starting pokemon, anyway.
Let’s see, there’s Squirdis, Barbarasoar, uh… Chortle? Oh no
Don’t forget Charmonger, Charmelon and Charlizzo!
Let’s play grill brand or pokeyman
- Char King
- Smokin’ Champ
- Charcadet
- Grill brand
- grill brand
- pokie mans
Don’t forget about… WEENUSAUR!
Chortle was my favorite.
Bulbasaur - Onion turtle
Geodude - Punchy rock
Meowth - That cat with the long-ass arms
E’rybody know that’s Big Dick Bee!
Oh that one’s pikachu
Electrode, Diglett, Nidoran, Mankey. Venusaur, Rattata, Fearow, Pidgey.
Seaking, Jolteon, Dragonite, Gastly
Ponyta, Vaporeon, Poliwrath, Butterfree
If I need to say the names of the pokemons I’ll forget something like Tangela, but if I see the image of the pokémon I can remember the name. Things get fuzzy at the same time that I stop watching the anime.
It’s the companys fault for looking at the 151 and saying, what if we replaced all this with random bullshit? I miss the og pokemon. I tried playing newer games but damn, it’s pure chaos.
ah yes
the original 151
with such treasures of creative genius as purple rat
another rat
and my personal favorite
some eggsDon’t forget blackface thing mon
I’ve heard it argued that Jynx was a parody of Harajuku fashion, which really only kicks the racism down one more step
Ganguro girls
Literally two Pokeballs with eyes, one is just flipped upside down. Peak design.
Don’t forget purple snake and purple toxic ball
If you knew what a mimic is, it would make more sense what they were going for.
I always enjoyed how the one mole evolves into 3 moles.
magnemite evolves into three of them
Even Ash couldn’t pass the identification test and he still managed to become a master.
You disgust me OG baby
I get fuzzy on anything after Black/White. Hisuian and Alolan regionals would probably be my saving grace after that, I never found the will to finish Sword and have had 0 interest in Scarlet/Violet.

I still feel confident I can nail Gens 1-4.
Eww
