For a couple of days now I've been re-watching the first season of Pokemon on Youtube. Listening to the opening song brings back so many wonderful memories! From the start, the theme song was catchy, immediately appealing to young kids and it's STILL catchy.
I remember I'd come home from school and the first thing I'd do was turn on the TV to Kids WB and wait for Pokemon to come on. I'd watch it everyday with my cousin. We became so engrossed with the series that we eventually began buying Pokemon cards even if we didn't play the game. We simply enjoyed collecting them. I had some cool holographic cards too that my aunt would buy me.
I also had a game for my Nintendo 64 and I would play that for hours! In the beginning I would lose easily to my opponents but as I gained experience I was able to battle the gym leaders on my own without consulting my cousins for help. That was a proud moment in my childhood life.
Anyways, while re-watching the series I finally realized how long the first season alone is and I found out that Pokemon is STILL running and is on Season 8. I thought it was over already? Total mind boggling. I'm sad that I lost interest after the first season was over because afterward new Pokemon were introduced and Brock had left Ash and Misty and were later joined by Tracey. It just wasn't the same anymore. Besides, the new theme song for the Johoto Season didn't tickle my pickle. It wasn't revolutionary like the first. It's a wonderful feeling that I was able to relive and I'm thankful for that. I don't think I'll ever forgot about my infatuation with the first season of Pokemon.
To me Pokemon is like everyone's Harry Potter, hopefully that made sense.
