There have been 400+ pokemon added since this meme was made. My knees hurt.

1025, if you don't count regional variants that have the same name, and many have multiple forms now.

I remember being upset that I just learned 2nd gen when they added a third. My hair is turning grey.

my Boomer opinion: there are only 151 Pokemon, the rest are mental illnesses

[-] Zombie@feddit.uk 7 points 2 days ago

Exactly. How else are you meant to "catch 'em all!"? It's a Sisyphean task otherwise

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 2 days ago

It's probably worse than that. Every time it rolls back down, it becomes a bigger boulder, because new pokemon are there

[-] athatet@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

You can’t even ‘catch ‘em all’ anymore anyway. There are too many so they have to keep pulling more and more from the games.

[-] Siethron@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Up to the 3ds games there was always a way to trade pokemon at least 1 generation up (red to silver, silver to ruby, etc) if they continued that trend it should still technically be possible. But eventually you'll get to a point where it will take long to trade pokemon up than it takea for a new game to come out.

Well, I AM pretty happy

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 16 points 2 days ago

Nowadays, the sphinx is another pokemon as well

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

What do you mean "nowadays"? Weren't the ancient Egyptians all pokemon fans? What else did they play on their phones?

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

No. They played Duel Monsters.

Egyptian Go

As somebody who did extensive research on Greek history and tales, I can agree that this is what happened.

Man. Baby crawls on all fours, then walks on two, and gets old and needs a cane as a third leg.
