I've definitely had one of those "if I could go back" style scenarios innmy head and didn't choose pokemon because the question didn't include the 90s.
My plan for that would be to go back to the beginning of the 90s and basically convince Sega that I'm from the future and give them a copy of gens 1 and 2 for gameboy, alongside a bunch of ads for the game, and let them most likely mess everything up like we know they would.
But that plan hinges upon me being able to travel back in time with things instead of Terminator popping into the past with no clothes or possessions. Also depends on whether I could travel back with a translator as well because my Japanese is not good enough for a forced business meeting with Sega of Japan.
That was why I mentioned Gen 2
It dropped in 2000 after a LOOOONG development hell. And one flap of the butterfly's wing would have stopped Gold and Silver from being released
Which in turn would have killed the franchise's momentum.
