In high school math class we got paired up for a worksheet and instead of doing any math we spent the hour listing the first 150 Pokemon in numerical order. Been chasing that high ever since

Just throw the PokéRap on repeat again. It'll come back to you in no time.

It was so over when I had to google Kangaskhan.

I just tried to get through the original list and I have forgotten a lot more than I was expecting.

I can name the first 251(gen 1 and 2) by heart and 3 by sight and name, but not by number. It gets a little easier when you realize Gen2 is only 100 pokemon, the smallest Gen. Celebi is #251 and you can work backwards to Mew.

Easy way to solve most gens if you have to fill out a blank sheet - The starters are always grass/fire/water in that order, so your first 9 are always solved. Then the 2 early game bugs(Butterfree and Beedrill/ledyba and spinarak) and HM rat (Rattata/sentret/zigzagoon)and then from there's it's wild west until the end. The pseudo-legendary evo of 3 are with the legendaries, and those come in a set of 3, followed by the 2 title characters plus their hidden legendary so that's the back 9 solved for most gens. Gen 4 has more legendaries/pseudo legendaries so you get 12-15 for free on the back end.

There's some new ones I like but fuck there's over 1000 now. I'm happy just knowing up to 386.

It's not your fault, there are way too many Pokemon these days.

Honestly, the names of the newer Pokémon are so dumb that I never tried to remember. The old ones are cool and I'll probably remember them for another decade.

Can't forget what you never knew. Just don't forget about Pikachu.

I'm not an expert, but it seems this Pokemon is called Hulk.

How could you forget the 151 original classics such as Eggxecutor, Valporene, and Voltorb?

I got into Pokémon when the card game and anime first came to America. I was in jr high school at the time and collected so many of the original cards. Never finished my collection, though.

I got into the Pokémon craze at first, but stopped following it in my later years of high school. I was too busy preparing to be an adult, so I set it aside and forgot about it for years. I didn't even know there were more than 151 Pokémon until over a decade later.

I learned some of the newer generations with Pokémon Go, but I still remember all of the original 151 Pokémon. The newer stuff is just weird to me.

EDIT: I never got into the games, even though they started releasing when I was a teenager. Pokémon Go was actually my first game in the franchise; although I watched my friends play the classic Red and Blue games back in the day.

I would simply fire up the ol' 3DS (the best handheld console) and revisit any Pokemon game from Red and Blue to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

3 coconut dude

Gorebyss is disappointed 😞

Depends. First 4 gens? Yes. 5 & 6? No. 7, 8 and 9? Yes.
