I'm too old to have had a Gameboy as a kid, and didn't buy one as an adult. My first Pokemon experience was the N64 I got in 1999. I was 27. I still have that and my wife's NES from when she was younger. I have never even held a game boy in my hand.

Have you considered some kids weren't interested in video games?

Have you considered some kids were blind?

Have you considered some kids are dead now?

Have you considered some kids weren't allowed games?

Have you considered some kids didn't know English or Japanese?

Have you considered some kids didn't care for Pokemon to know anything about it?

Have you considered these things were banned in some countries?

Have you considered some kids had no hands?

Have you considered you make comments on the internet for no reason other than to devalue others?

Have you considered why you'd even do that?

Have you considered some kids weren't in the intended market?

Have you considered some kids had different peer cultures?

Have you considered some kids had religious boundaries?

Have you considered a single word OP had said?

There are people poor enough to have never had the taste of {premium food option}

While true, the sentence fails to deliver the same feeling op tried to share with us. The comparison is therefor meaningless.

Specifically “the feeling of still considering yourself to be young while realizing the same people you once considered infantile little kids are now your fellow mature adults.”

The class war is real, brutal and should be talked about. But this was not the right place.

I'm not talking about a generational divide. I'm talking about feeling old. Me, being in my 40s. Perhaps I could've led with that.
