Like most people, Pokemon was a significant part of my childhood. And like most people, I haven’t outgrown it.
Back in Grade school, Pokemon was all anybody talked about. These were the days when the Game Boy Color was the pinnacle of gaming technology, and if you had a Charizard card, you were god. “Holy cow 120 HP?!”
Early on in High School, it was considered pretty childish to be into Pokemon. People were into more mature things like partying and alcohol and looking for girls. Obviously, I jumped in the bandwagon. And unlike now, very few people were open about their geeky sides.
That changed in College, thank God.
I still watch the series from time to time. I even have a few of the old games for the GBA emulator on the PC. I’ve also been saving up for a DS. I haven’t played Diamond and Pearl / Black and White yet. *sad face* And though I can’t tell you specifically what significance it had on my well-being or how it helped me develop as a person, all I know is I’d be worse off without it.

Yep, we have tumblr homework for school! Our teacher told us to post a picture of something from our childhood along with a brief explanation. Here’s mine. And all I had to do was log on to the block account and reblog from my personal blog. And now I’m reblogging something reblogged from my blog which is kinda weird but yeah.
