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?"

When someone says something to which you havent a clue what they're talking about.... you stare at them blankly and after a pause say calmly, "sorry dude, im not into pokemon" and then just walk away. just walk away.
Craig: "Hey Jeff, I just finished that relativity project i was working on with the group. Sort of crazy how Billy figured out that "E" wasnt really equal to the square of MC because he took out the mitigating factor. You want to come down to the lab and check it out?"
