This may sound kind of dirty, but when people bring up, "The good ole days of Pokemon", it makes me think of the SNL parody skit for the old fashion menstruation pads. The commercial basically starts with women talking about the good ole days, and hilarity ensues when they make fun of the aforementioned product. Just the beginning of that skit makes me think of how pointless it is to just say that the "good ole days" is the only good thing about Pokemon, when there were flaws in the series at that time as well. For the record, that is the reason I find the skit funny. I'm not being perverted or anything.
