Ah ha ha, checking for clearance. I haven't really done that, but I've so far been in the clear with my stories. Care to share that medicine? I'm desperate for it.
Ah, so you're still a bit new. Not a problem, even if a lot of things about the Pokémon games will fly over your head. Thankfully, you have YouTube, TV Tropes, Google and Bulbapedia (of course) for that so you can catch up when you start getting confused about some talk over the games. Then again, you may have gotten lucky enough to find some of the older games and played them yourself.
You can say nostalgia plays a lot when it comes to the Pokémon games, so at times, it gets much harder to explain the older games to a new player when they haven't been exposed to it and know of all the surprises.
