Pants, out of breath

Literally two Pokeballs with eyes, one is just flipped upside down. Peak design.

Don’t forget blackface thing mon

It's a shame they didn't clue into the regional variants sooner. I love all the different Meowths. Would have been cool if each new game was remixes of existing pokemon.

Instead of the increasingly humanoid and spikey looking digimon they've been coming up with.

With enough women, it's possible.

I got my kiddo playing around 4 or 5. Mainly just watching. Eventually he started playing games like Coromon, and other monster catchers. The newest Pokémon sadly haven't run well on his switch either, so I've been trying to get him on the older but still favorites like Pearl or Diamond.

They know the most well known Pokémon thanks to merch and a few old cards that my wife and me had when we were children and conserved.

My oldest watched a few episodes when she was 5, and “read” a Pokémon manga after (she watched the images, she didn't know how to read). I promised her that I will teach her how to play the cards when she'll know how to read … I will keep my promise and buy her her own deck for her 7th birthday :-)

If you can't see it, you can't see it. I can't point it out to you.

The grass Joto starter was literally named after looking in the spice cabinet.

I don't remember exactly, but didn't design change hands pretty early on? The first 151 were designed by a fairly famous character designer, iirc

that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable Pokemon? While their maximum temperature is likely too much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them undeniably incredibly soft to touch. But that's not all, they have a very respectable special defense stat of 110, which means that they are likely very calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day, you can vent to it while hugging it, and it won't mind. It can make itself even more endearing with moves like Charm and Baby Doll Eyes, ensuring that you never have a prolonged bout of depression ever again.
