I'm a huge fan of the Diamond and Pearl box art! Totally reminds me of the old style #Pokemon holos. It really pops in the light and reminds me of the hype and excitement around it when it first released... Unfortunately this was also around the time in my childhood where it became "uncool" to like Pokemon. I never understood why I couldn't play sports and play games, and why I was made fun of for liking certain things. It never made sense to me. That brings me to this community. I've been asked to reflect using the #retrocommunityfriends hashtag and all I can think about is how welcoming this awesome group of people is. I feel so myself here, so supported, and free to do my thing. Thanks to every single one of you I've met on here, or in real life, and have had the pleasure of talking to. It's almost been a year, and I am so excited for what the future holds for us!
