Do you remember the first time you used the toilet like a grown-up? No? Then how about when you lost your first tooth? Doubtful.

Remember when you first got Pokemon Blue or Red and chose between Squirtle, Charmander or Bulbasaur? Of course you do, it's way more memorable than any of those other boring life events.

The original Pokemon games (along with the trading card game) would have been they only thing your peers would have been interested in talking about back in the 90s, and if you didn't come to class with at least one of them, you excluded yourself from ever being spoken to.Me? I always chose Squirtle. He'll always be the best.
