Why I love Pokemon so much. · 10:40pm Jan 27th, 2016
This year, Pokemon is turning twenty years old. The series is very personally important to me, and I will tell you why.
It saved my family after my dad died.
I'm not kidding. My father died on October 9th 1996. I was two years old, and I didn't understand what was going on. My brother was angry at everything. Mama was constantly sad. And daddy was gone. I didn't understand why everything was bad, but it felt like it would never get better.
And then on Christmas Eve 1997 it did.
