... I really have no idea about Fairy types. TBH, I stopped playing after the Gen II remakes :x

Fairy types are basically something they came up with so that dragons wouldn't be OP. But i don't really like it. Except for the latest addition to the Eeveelution family, there's nothing good with fairy types

OMG. I just looked them up. Like, half of my old favorites are now half-Fairy types. Pokemon is just moving too fast for an old lady like me to keep up with </3

Yeah, but I was like 5 when I first got into Pokemon. It's all relative, you know~

I got into it at around the same time. And i'm only 5 years younger than you. So uh... doesn't that mean i'm old too?

Was your first game like silver or something?

Unfortunately, yes. Positively ancient. You should contact whoever handles the retirement pensions in your country

if you got into it when she was 5... and you're 5 years younger... does that mean you got into it when you were in the womb?

My first game was Gold, actually! I caught my first Growlithe before my first Vulpix. It was tragic.

I knew it had to be a gen 2 game

Pff, typical pensioner. We don't pay taxes just to fund your life of Pokemon, light beer and weed, you know.

I really loved Emerald, but my copy of it must have been a pirated knock-off; it always deleted my save after I beat the Champion.

I don't like beer. And i don't do drugs.

But shouldn't you retire before me? In Sweden you can work until you're 75

"Drugs?" Come on, man. Even Canada legalized it completely. Is /Canada/ more hardcore than you?

Yeah, here in America, you're not eligible for a pension unless you've both paid enough FICA taxes throughout your life and work for a company which provides a retirement plan.

tl;dr: In America, you work until you're dead, unless you had enough money not to have needed to work in the first place.

Sweden haven't legalized them though.

I don't really know how the retirement thing works here in Sweden. I just hope that i'll have a good retirement

Do you guys know anything about the new games for the Switch? All I really heard was that it was really simplified compared to the main games. Is it worthwhile for the sake of nostalgia?

I don't know. I haven't played them. But they look fun
