Pokemon Gold is best pokemon

Tech deck reporting in

Digimon was better... 😒 <:avtism:359037377919844352>

man the 90s were the best decade

Digimon? oof...

The only time I've ever been to Ikea @DairyMaxx and I rolled our tech decks over all the furniture

That's the time everything went to capture-things and battle them

Japan was going through an economic crisis and wanted to create things that gave people a warm feeling of companionship.

really..?

Hence tomogatchi, pokemon, robotic dogs.

Yes.

The Japanese did 9/11

wow..

@Logan 9/11 *did* bring the US together...

It also brought the US and the middle east together

Digimon started out as Tomagachi that linked up for fighting. It was developed independently of Pokemon game boy games. And of course they both got shows.

I will say pokemon is the better game but digimon had the better show

@ThisIsChris pokemon sales went *up* after 9/11.

Iyashi (癒し) is a Japanese word that means to heal, focusing on the whole person.

That's what they were trying to cultivate during the economic crisis in the 90s.

I was done with pokemon long before 911

@Selma were the first harvest moon games as a result of that?
