(1/2) Trust me, I want to see good in life. I don't want to be a monster. With what I've experienced in my life though (depression on and off for 15 years, anxiety on and off for 10 years, a crush in high school that morphed into obsession, working fast food way longer than anyone ever should, and the upcoming election in November where s*** is gonna hit the fan regardless of who wins) I just don't know how.i know your not perfect, but your life and mind seems to be in more order than mine.
But seeing how Pokemon was a huge part of many childhoods, especially during its heyday, u don't think that may have had a major effect? Even if it's not the root cause, I feel it definitely has an impact especially on younger more impressionable kids.my negative energy comes from how my mom said I was much different when I was younger than I am now, and not in a good way. So looking back on my life and seeing where it all went wrong, Pokemon is the one furthest back that I can recall having such an impact on me.if it were just the Pokemon games, or just the anime, or just the trading card game, or just one individual aspect of Pokemon, I would agree it could apply to almost anything, but Pokemon wasn't just a game; it was a way of life; you had the game boy games (and special Pokemon edition game systems), the cartoon, trading cards, figurines, books, clothing, and just about anything aimed at kids you can imagine, All hitting our minds at the same time. That's a lot for a young mind to process. Pokemon took game freak from nobodies to legends, raked in billions for Nintendo, and left a pretty big impact on almost everyone under 30; that is how Pokemon is different.
