Pokémon Nostalgia Cycle

A phenomina in the Pokémon Community. About 8-10 years after a generation of Pokémon releases, the people who grew up with the generations start glazing the games to death. Sometimes generations are skipped in the cycle (like Gen 2 and Gen 6) and usually join another generation's fans (like Gen 2 fans joining Gen 4 fans due to HGSS).

The cycle started off with Genwunners in the early 2000s-early 2010s, then Gen 3 fans in 2013 with "Hoenn Confirmed!", then Gen 4 fans/Sinnohfetuses in 2017, and then Genfivers in 2021. It will likely shift to Gen 7 fans in a year or two since Pokémon Sun and Moon turns 10 next year.
"I've seen people praising Gen 7 online more recently. Is the Pokémon Nostalgia Cycle shifting again?"

Pokémon games

When you or someone is out there just increasing their body count and not trying to be in a relationship at all.

Behavior akin to being a slut or someone who sleeps with just about anyone they can. Someone playing Pokémon games can be male or female, and regardless of the gender, make no mistakes, they're out to catch them all like young ash Ketchum, and they travel the land from gym to gym on some crazy adventures.
Michael was easily becoming attached to Stephanie, but she was just out playing Pokémon games.
