Do you remember when Pokemon Go was the absolute biggest deal ever? I'm still waiting for it to make a comeback, because honestly that was the most enjoyable couple weeks ever. Every one was so friendly suddenly, so helpful, so willing to converse with strangers. It was good times. Suddenly everything Pokemon became cool again and I was so okay with that. Even I wasn't immune to the hype, even as a long time Pokemon fan. Suddenly everything was new and exciting again. I dug out my old Gameboy pocket (oh yeah, I went THAT far back. Retro is cool.) My bro grabbed his old Gameboy and we picked up right where we left off when I was like...twelve. Trading and battling and all that good stuff on tiny pixelated 5 cm screens. Definitely the best of times.
This is exactly what this crop tee brought me back to, and that's exactly why I love it so very very much. It reminds me not only of the new rekindling experiences I had with Pokemon Red, Blue, and even Yellow. It also brought me all the way back, to my elementary-school self, sitting in circles on the school yard trading for rare Pokemon.
This tee is my youth.
