Throwback Thursdays ~ Pokemon

Like most kids born in the 90's, I cached up the obsession with Pokemon. Those video games, cartoons and many other types of merchandise were part of my entire childhood, and still today they're part of me; that's why I chose them to be the first ones listed on my series of 'Throwback Thursdays' from today until I get to  be 18, or in other words ending this on October 11, 2012.

One of the greatest memories that I have since I was very young (about 5 years old) is that it was a long weekend, and that meant no school, only TV for 4 days! Lucky me, I had a TV in my room with cable and everything, so also getting lucky, there was this non-stop marathon for 48 hours and no commercials, which happen to be a Pokemon Marathon in Cartoon Network, where I remember they transmitted the entire season one, a.k.a. Indigo League; and I specifically remember this moment when it was about 3 or 4 in the morning and I desperately wanted to sleep but I couldn't let my laziness win, as I was trying to stay awake to see my favorite TV show back in those days!

Now, some may say, ugh come on, it's just some stupid cartoon, franchise, whatever. But well, for me it was way more, it mean loads of things, including many lessons that I still apply to this day. So I'm happy to say I was part of the Pokemon Generation and that also, they all still are in my heart.
