If Pokemon came out in 2026, would you be interested in it?

Probably not because I just don’t have time to get into and play games like Pokemon now. Kind of sad the think about, but that’s how life works. Right time and right place.

Probably not. I’d probably see it like Labubus or Nee-Dohs.

no, pokemans have to come out when ur a child for it to be interesting

May be no. Because all the interest of pokemon actually starts either from anime, or if your parents too like pokemon.. For me my parents are not pokemon watchers so it’s all from the anime which I used to watch in our telivision. At this age if Pokemon is released I am not sure I will get to know about it in first place as I may not start to watch anime at this age :slightly_smiling_face:

if Pokemon started out with gen 1 today then it would immediately be cancelled into oblivion because of jynx

jokes aside I’ve pretty consistently enjoyed Pokemon for the very balanced and aesthetically pleasing monster designs, so I’d likely still be drawn to the franchise so long as it’s somewhat niche and not like Amazing Digital Circus levels of degenerate fandom-ness

I probably cost Elon like $5 million but that’s what Grok AI came up for me lol. Probably posed the question wrongly, but regardless I don’t think I would as a 37 year old. I feel like it has to be something from childhood.

Ngl that card is sick. If Pokemon did a star or galaxy style pokemon id be for it.

Pokémon is running almost fully on nostalgia for me. I even bought an Analogue Pocket a few months ago so I can play the games while traveling (been raw dogging train and air travel for years now). I mostly play Pokémon Go for the social aspect and shared nostalgia.

If Pokémon would come out now, I would probably give it as much try as I gave to Fortnite; none at all. And shrug it off as something for the kids.

I might be a bit cynical but for very long anything new hasn’t excited me a bit, be it hobbies, movies, music or anything. I find the most joy in things that i know are good and i’ve enjoyed already for a long time
