Pokemania was pretty wild, I was just at the brink of the target demographic, when gen 1 hit in 1998 I was just starting first grade. My older brother was more the target but having a brother a couple of years older lined me up to get into the things my older brother was into. Frankly I don't think anything will ever be that big again, it was like a perfect storm of media and products to keep it as this constant thing for a few years. Things didn't really die down until around crystal's release date - by then I think people were losing interest and even I could feel it as the media became less ever-present. Guess its the fate of all fads.

Still, all the shit that came from it sure was something.
