Obviously, I'm watching Pokemon.
Because how else would a grown man spend his evenings?
Today has been a very nostalgic day for me, concluding with watching some Pokemon season one. Did not know they showed off Ho-Oh in the very first episode. Hot damn!
How often do you succumb to the whims of nostalgia? How often are you left disappointed by your memories being far better than the thing you remembered?
It was a Moltres wasn't it? I didn't think Ho-Oh existed at that point.
Matt and I recently watched the first two seasons of Pokemon because Netflix.
And it was a Ho-Oh, which is crazy.
Yeah, that's the thing. My friend walks in to find me watching Pokemon and immediately asks "Have you seen Ho-Oh yet?"
I was sure - yet couldn't believe - it was Ho-Oh, but refused to accept it. Holy trout.
Like, really. Holy trout. That's so cool of them.
I just rewatched the Pokemans not long ago actually.
And the Digimans
I think most of the Pokémon from Gen II had already been designed when they were working on the original games and the anime came a little later than Red and Blue so Ho-Oh was thrown in to tease us all.Originally Posted by Psychotic
Yup, it was Ho-Oh.
I watch Pokemon from time to time. It's always a nice little nostalgia trip. I did Yugioh a while back as well. Yugioh was a bit more disappointing to me for whatever reason, but I had low expectations going into my rewatch. DB/DBZ never let me down though.
Missed the opportunity to say Ho-Ohly trout.

jRed/jGreen, jBlue, usRed/usBlue actually had 190 Pokemon programmed into it. However, 39 of the Pokemon couldn't be implemented fully into the game because of the storage limitations of the cartridge. These Pokemon can be generated and fought as different MissingNo.s by forcing the game to give you an encounter for the corresponding Pokemon's index number.
Eg., Ho-oh is actually index number 34. Victreebel is actually number 190. Rhydon is number 1.
If you can successfully transfer them into the Gen II games, they turn into the Pokemon they were supposed to be. If you generate and catch a Pokemon with an index number above 191, you can't transfer it into Gen II. It's just garbage data.
I watched the first season of Pokemon last year while on the plane to New Zealand. It was amazing! Still loved it after all this time. I also binge watched most of Gilmore Girls while I was pregnant. But that show didn't hold up as well for me. It's oddly racist which I don't really remember it being.
I go on many nostalgia binges. Just recently with Castlevania, Luigi's Mansion, and Resident Evil. Only disappointment I can remember is when I replayed Spider-Man 2 Enter: Electro last May.
Can't remember the last time I watched through Pokemon.
I love this show and still watch it from time to time if I see it on. It has some damn fine moments in it, like a Wingull (or maybe it was a Pelipper) that is immune to electricity because it places one wing on the ground and catches the lightning with the other, supposedly grounding out the attack and totally ignoring the current running straight across its chest in the process, or Brock's grand exclamation that "Cranidos' defenses are amazing!" in one of the Gen IV episodes. Pretty sure I saw Deoxys randomly jack a hotdog stand in one of the movies too.
Maybe I like this show for the wrong reasons.

It wasn't Ho-Oh.
When my sister was very young she was trying to catch that Pokemon in one of the Gen II games. I was only a passive player back then. She still didn't quite pronounce things that clearly since she was still pretty young.It wasn't Ho-Oh.
Basically, for months I wondered why my sister was trying to catch a ho in Pokemon.
