Why are there 4 current Pokemon threads in the Pub?

I never got the whole Pokemon thing; my only experience of it is with the parody episode they did on South Park:
I get how it would appeal to children, but WTF is the fascination on a forum full of grown drug users?

A lot of members were probably children when it came out in the US, things stick. Nostalgia is great.
Plus pokemon is just awesome.

It's just the nostalgia. People in their 20s grew up with Pokemon. I feel like you'd have to be a socially awkward hermit to gain an interest in it as an adult.

Pokémon came out about 20 years ago, so a lot of the people who played it in their youth are probably roughly in a shroomy age now. Pokémon GO being released on smart phones has made it more social acceptable for people to nostalgia trip on it (not that Pokémon ever went out of style).
Personally do not even have a cell phone though, so am missing the bus on the Pokémon GO trend.
Do know that there are also adults raising children and sharing Pokémon with them together, so that seems nice.

I'm in my early 20s and pretty much everyone my age I know grew up playing pokemon games and watching the anime. So like everyone has said, nostalgia's a big part of it. Idk whether or not you're aware, but a new Pokemon game just came out where you basically walk around in real life catching different Pokemon in different areas. It's a mobile phone app. It's fucking huge in my town, I see so many people walking around playing it these days. Blew up quick.

Well, you obviously didn't love them then. You got me all excited there, I thought I was gonna get some insight into the mind of a Pokemon lover...

I don't even know how to reply to that right now, it's simple really..
Different people like different things, just about everything is a marketing campaign.
It's a generational thing..

Are people Pokemon?
Can people be caught by pokeballs?
When people eat meat in the Pokemon world, are they eating a Pokemon?
Doesn't Pokemon just encourage kids to start underground dog/cock fighting rings?

Oh I got plenty 'o that. But when you're stuck behind a desk at work at 5am with 3 hours left to go one can find excitement in the little things...
