I feel old.
Some people alive today have only ever seen a floppy disk as the save icon.
If we suggest that people 20 years old and younger today, born from 2004, doesnt know the floppy disk.
That would be 33% of the world population. Let that sink in.
My boy is 14 and he’s never even seen a CRT TV. He didnt know where the words “rewind” or “hang up” came from.
That’s actually a big number. There are people that haven’t seen CDs or DVDs.
You feel old!? I was too old to care about all that pokemon stuff when it came out. I don’t remember any pokemon stuff, not because I wasn’t born, but because I was already too old when that shit came out

They’re the first games in the series. My mom got me Red at like 8yo, on the gameboy color. Good memories

have you considered that there are people your age that were broke as kids, or non-westerners, that also don’t remember pokemon red/blue

i’m saying that what you see as generational divide can be partially also class divide

non-westerners
Japan is western confirmed.
I don’t remember Pokémon Red/Blue and am a parent… So this means I am considered young? 😀
Red, blue, and yellow were cool at launch. But I wouldn’t recommend a kid to play that unless they already played the other gameboy/GBA games and want more. Fire red and Leaf green would be the better recommendation, especially for younger first time players.
Ps, check out Volt Yellow
No chance. Graphics so scuffed bro like thats so mid was this peak aura in the ancient era?
Volt Yellow looks very promising! I’ll have to check it out some day. Otherwise I tend to recommend HeartGold/SoulSilver as an introduction to the franchise.
Completely agree with you that without nostalgia goggles RBY don’t hold up that well.
They released almost 30 years ago. Adding a few more years, since you can’t properly play them with no reading skills, we’are looking at enough time for some of them to be grandparents.
Heck, I and most of my peers started with Gen 3 in elementary school. There’s a 3 in front of my age.
There are parents alive today who weren’t born when 9/11 happened. Or the day after on the 9th December.
