25. Pokemon GSC

To me, Pokemon was more of a social thing than something that I fully had genuine interest in. It was nowhere near my favorite cartoon, but I watched to discuss with friends. I preferred collecting baseball cards and playing spades, hearts, or euchre to Pokemon cards, but once again, I and my parents probably spent several hundred dollars on them during the time they were popular with my friends. The video games were no different.

I was a Monster Rancher guy. Approximately 0 of my friends were. Now I liked the first trio of games to a certain extent, but it wasn't until the following generation that I would say I became a true Pokemon fan. I'm sure that superficial stuff like color were factors since I was 9 or 10 then, but I was blown away by simple features like the night/day cycle, berries, the phone, and breeding. You can guess what my reaction was when I found out the postgame was going back to Kanto and getting all the badges there again.

Within two years after the games came out, my friends had moved onto DBZ and other stuff. I tried out RSE, but came to the conclusion that I had grown out of Pokemon. I recently bought XY to see if being away from the games for almost 15 years may change things, but even if they don't, I still look back at my time with GSC quite fondly.
