People Are Sharing Their Fondest Poké-memories Because It’s Somehow Been 22 Since Its Release!

February 27 might signal the end of the month, but to some, there’s more to it than that. It’s the official day to celebrate all things Pokémon and might as well be a national holiday! The day commemorates the launch of the very first Pokémon games which were released back in 1996. People are over the moon about the anniversary and those passionate fans went on to share their favorite moments over the past two decades. From the Gameboy to classic Pokémon characters, there’s something in here that will bring back all the feels for every Pokémon master.

Remember Raichu?

Pokémon are essentially a part of your family. You raise them from childhood, through their teenage years, and see them become their best version of themselves. Pichu was like the kid-version of Pikachu. I was never that big a fan of Raichu, but it’s good to see that it has its supporters.
