For 90s kids, there’s no need for explanation. For others, well, pokemon was a phenomenon. It was everywhere, on TV, in magazines, toys, stickers. You could trade pokemon at the school excursion on the bus.

You felt alive in this world, pokemon gen 1-2 were the pinnacle of pokemon for me. And in gen2, finishing the game, and lo and behold, there’s a whole other region (kanto) waiting for you to explore it. The night cycle in the game blew my mind in ways that I have been chasing ever since.

I know it will never be reached again, but the memory will remain as powerful as it was that evening of the early 00s. What is your greatest gaming high, that you know will never be topped again, and that you have been chasing ever since?

    Being a 90s kid I feel that there were many mind blowing moments seeing the games evolve.

    My first one was playing Shining Force 2 on the Sega Genesis with my dad.

    Next was gen 1&2 Pokémon, I’m with you.

    Next one was probably FF7 on the ps1. Remember having to switch disks while the game was running? 🤯

    Next one was The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

    Kinda burnt out on games now. Adulting sucks
