My secret to remember then is to have children.
Yes, but after naming my first child Bulbasaur and my second one Venusaur, I’m not sure I can sire enough children to fill in the first 150, let alone the full roster…
With enough women, it’s possible.

Plus you already forgot Ivysaur!
You’re right! Now I gotta start over. Drat
How early did you introduce the games (or show)?
Mine are still years away.
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 :-)
That’s adorable. I’m so excited to be able to share this with my kids too.
My oldest only knows the name “Charmander” from a stuffed animal, but that’s it.
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.
I still have an easier time remembering all the original pokemon than I do the periodic table of elements.
There’s antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium, And hydrogen, and oxygen, and nitrogen, and rhenium…
They are all called Pikachu.
Edit: per my grandmama
Wrong. They’re all pokey man.
Maybe I am your grandma.
Here you go buddy:
Bulbasaur - Onion turtle
Geodude - Punchy rock
Meowth - That cat with the long-ass arms
E’rybody know that’s Big Dick Bee!
Oh that one’s pikachu
Not that weird wasp with the drills?
Dear Mr. President:
There are too many Pokemon. Please eliminate 500. I am not a crackpot.
i can remember all of them from when i was a kid, but that number has since tripled. if i was a kid now i don’t think i would be able to learn all of them in the first place!
Triple isn’t that bad. I knew 151 and then the main ones from the next few games (and didn’t learn all the names, I don’t remember any of the middle evolutions) but there are 1025 now
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.
I wish they had better games rather than just new coats of paint
Imagine how creative they would have to be if they were restricted to only the first 151 for the last 25 years
Electrode, Diglett, Nidoran, Mankey. Venusaur, Rattata, Fearow, Pidgey.
Seaking, Jolteon, Dragonite, Gastly
Ponyta, Vaporeon, Poliwrath, Butterfree
I can still remember the gen 1 starting pokemon, anyway.
Let’s see, there’s Squirdis, Barbarasoar, uh… Chortle? Oh no
Don’t forget Charmonger, Charmelon and Charlizzo!
Let’s play grill brand or pokeyman
- Char King
- Smokin’ Champ
- Charcadet
- Grill brand
- grill brand
- pokie mans
Chortle was my favorite.
Don’t forget about… WEENUSAUR!
If I need to say the names of the pokemons I’ll forget something like Tangela, but if I see the image of the pokémon I can remember the name. Things get fuzzy at the same time that I stop watching the anime.
It’s the companys fault for looking at the 151 and saying, what if we replaced all this with random bullshit? I miss the og pokemon. I tried playing newer games but damn, it’s pure chaos.
ah yes
the original 151
with such treasures of creative genius as purple rat
another rat
and my personal favorite
some eggsDon’t forget blackface thing mon
I’ve heard it argued that Jynx was a parody of Harajuku fashion, which really only kicks the racism down one more step
No… The original is not debatable if you know how racist Japanese artists depict black people.
That’s just some weeb cope and as you mention even then it isn’t even good at it.
Ganguro girls
Literally two Pokeballs with eyes, one is just flipped upside down. Peak design.
Don’t forget purple snake and purple toxic ball
If you knew what a mimic is, it would make more sense what they were going for.
It’s gotta make you wonder if the pokeball or voltorb came first…
In Arceus, they’re grass/electric because they’re emulating the original wooden pokéballs
Prolly the pokeball, they’re based on those japanese gatcha capsules
Voltorbs are just very angry dittos.
I always enjoyed how the one mole evolves into 3 moles.
magnemite evolves into three of them
Even Ash couldn’t pass the identification test and he still managed to become a master.
Yeah but Ash is an idiot
An idiot Pokemon master.
Have we fully considered the possibility that Ash was actually a Make-A-Wish kid?
Which goes to show that Pokemon Master is the easiest degree to get in pkmn world
You disgust me OG baby

Don’t worry trainer, you can always get back together in a big ol’ group of all your friends and between everyone we’ll be able to figure out all their names. :)
A big group of friends? What kind of fucking fantasy land are you living in?
Uhhh… The internet? lol
You can get together with a small group of friends if you’re more comfortable that way, but the sentiment is the same. Find some people and have fun remembering your shared past.
