pokemon was both my childhood and introduction to any sort of video games. my first pokemon games were all on the N64; showdown, blue, red, and yellow back around 2008 when i was a wee 6-7 year old, but my true introduction to pokemon was around 2011 with pokemon white. i ate that shit UP and to this day the BW series remains some of my favorite video games ever

my knowledge of pokémon really only extends to the games and (vaguely) the tcg. i watched/owned some of the REALLY old movies, but i never grew up watching much of the anime (especially not the new episodes... what is going on)

my favorite types are fire and ghost and my favorite pokémon (mostly in order) are trapinch, flareon, vibrava, fennekin, braixen, flygon, and mew!! i don't really have a favorite trainer but some of the ones i like are raihan, leon, hau, cilan, n, guzma, kukui, burnet, gladion and lillie (off the top of my head)
