Let's Go Pikachu!

Over the last year plus, I think that's right, the kids have showed more and more interest in Pokemon. And, let's be honest, how could you not? The cards are popular again and all our oldest kid's friends seem to have them. There's a trickle down effect even infecting the three year old. The creatures are cute, or cool. This interest thus far has mostly revolved around the cards, the only media they've consumed. We haven't watched any of the anime nor up until recently played

It's funny Link's Awakening is the first Zelda post here, but that's what I'm playing rn. The Legend of Zelda is the best video game...

PoGo

I still play Pokemon Go when I can, make fun if you must. It's long become a game only played by a loyal group of adults, you don't see the adult/children dynamic anymore. I started pretty shortly after release, all the way back in 2016 (mind blown btw). Like with a lot of things, I quickly was obsessed. It helped that it was nostalgic, as I played and loved the original Blue/Red/Yellow games in childhood. Those were generation one, and my knowledge of the series was limited

Fable

Another long layoff. My family was in Maui (post coming later), and I had other priorities. This Christmas, while staying with my...
