Every rational molecule in my body is telling me that this is one hot mess of an editorial but there’s something about the combination of fog machines, misty lights, and alien bowl cuts that’s speaking volumes to the pog-slammin-pokemon-training-magic-card-peddling 10 year old in me.

Definitely had sailor-moon pogs. I am so happy that we were lucky enough to grow up with such a simple yet entertaining toy. Although, I shouldn’t be talking, we also were there to witness the beginning of the electronic age with creation of the Tamagotchi and Giga Pet.
love this post!

Why was I talking about pogs in my comment above? You could tell I was completely out of it and that Pokemon had somehow become muddled with pogs in my tired brain.
it’s amazing that an entire generation of unassuming kids were enthralled by the idea that a tower of cardboard circles would collapse if you slammed a metal coin on it (really?)…
Not only did tamagotchi and pokemon require the aptitude of a diligent caregiver but they also trained that same generation of children to develop mad skills in thumb control grooming those little hands for a lifetime of crackberry/iphone efficiency.
