I never really got into Pokemon growing up, but happy 30th anniversary to those celebrating!
"At such a milestone, with an IP that has spanned at least ten different consoles and over 1300 episodes of primetime anime, it only makes sense to look back with fondness at the humble, sometimes bizarre, and other times gorgeous, beginnings of one of the most treasured video game series’ of all time.
For what it’s worth, I’m always going to love these weird little monsters."
