What does this mean for the hobby?
A chunk of Pokemon’s popularity is nostalgia based. Will the realization that an entire decade has come and gone push more people to Pokemon?
Wouldn’t have thought so
This makes me feel old lol. I’ll miss the 2010s.

I hope so. Growth of the hobby means more money. And more money means more revenue for the company so they can make more content. I’m for anything that expands or enriches our universe.
*When people say “Ten years ago”, I still think it’s like 1997.*Stop making me realize things I don’t wanna realize.

This thread reminds me of that brony cringe video where all these men said “when i was a young philly…”
Are we reaching peak meme potential?
When I was a young pokemon trainer, you needed a link cabel to trade.

Pokémon will be entering their FOURTH DECADE…1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.

It means it will have been a decade without any new Pichu cards released in Japanese (October 2009) and almost a decade without any released in English (February 2010).

2016 was 20 years ago 
I like to think pikachu was fat cause he lived in oaks ball for ages before Ash got him. Slowly through out the decades he’s lost the weight through adventuring.
