"Was there a period of your life when you dropped Pokemon?"

I first played my brother's Red and Blue in the 90s, and got bought Yellow for myself. I watched the anime from the Indigo League. This was around 98/99.Then around 2005 (i think), I was in highschool and it didnt seem like anyone else I knew was still playing or watching it. It felt like it was "uncool" to be into Pokemon as a teenager back then (I was easily embarassed and keen to fit in, oh how I don't give a damn about that anymore 😂).So around this time I totally missed out on Diamond Pearl, and Black White. And I hear these were some of the best games. It was only when I was in University (and joined Instagram and met others who were into Pokemon) that I decided to get back into it with XY and ORAS (my favourite) and fell in love again. I missed it so much and regretted not keeping up with it.Got me wondering if for whatever reason, did you ever have a period of time when you dropped Pokemon or wasnt into it anymore? And what made you come back to it?Thank you for coming to my TED talk. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/vmaAT5u
