20 Things Only Pokémon Fans Will Understand

1. You've Just Gotta Catch 'Em All

Pokemon All (gen 4)

Above all else, ahead of all of the battling and training, you all know that there's really only one important thing to remember in the Pokémon world; you've simply gotta catch 'em all!

They may not all be pretty or powerful, or even useful in any determinable way, but the challenge of getting out there and completing the lazy professor's Pokédex is a challenge that will stir the blood of even the most stoic of gamers.

The challenge has increased exponentially over the generations and there are now some 721 Pokémon out there waiting to be caught, but who among us wouldn't drop everything to take up that task if the opportunity arose? Anyone? Didn't think so.

We were all raised wanting to be the very best, and catching 'em all is the ultimate way to reach that goal!
