We’re in that time period where we think Emerald was only a decade ago, yet in reality…

I still forgot 2016 wasn’t only 4 years ago. Is that bad considering I’m only 14

Still imo the best mainline game 🙏

I remember my brother gifting it me for my birthday. It was a great time!

Being an adult is lame.

Blows my mind that Gen IV was 2006. And I can’t fathom the truth that Gen III came out the same year I was born.

This was my first Pokemon game. It’ll always hold a special place in my heart. 💜

Lmao it’s funny how I remember putting my Pokémon Ruby cartridge in my GBASP all those years ago. The fact that it has been 20 years I still think it was only a few years ago.

I was 9 yet never got to touch it. Screw being poor…

Wait til you hear that the NINTENDO DS will turn 20 in just about a month

In Japan. It was released internationally in 2005.

Emerald still outdoes ORAS

The GBA came out in 2001, I can’t contemplate that either.

Sit your butt down, I existed for the release date of the OG red and blue; you don’t need to make me feel like I have one foot in the grave.

I’ll never forgive my past self for being apathetic toward mid gen releases… never played Emerald nor Platinum, so I missed out on some real bangers 😭
I want to play them but preowned authentic carts are hard to discern online, and emulating loses a bit of the charm.

I would like to start a movement where we become 90s/Early 2000s Amish-like. Culture was peak, no 9/11 or wars in the Middle East, children could still play outside, we could travel without baggage fees or ridiculous security.

Laughs in Gen 1, yeah how’s that feel?

I think this counts as a “what you thought blank1 was like when blank2 came out vs what blank1 actually was like when blank2 came out ” post. Throw it into the pile

-cries in playing gen 1 in the 90s-
I was 15 days old
Something something elegant, something something a civilized age.
Why has every game anniversary been like within less than a month of each other
