PKMN.NET / Happy 20 years
« on: July 06, 2023, 10:19 »
It's crazy that this forum is still up, since nearly every other forum I went on in the 00s-10s has been gone for quite some time. I made this account two decades ago when Ruby and Sapphire came out when I was 10 years old! It definitely felt like a sanctuary back then when kids my age were already moving onto other stuff, and the internet and the world was a very different place.
Now I'm married with a daughter, and haven't touched a pokemon game since HG/SS, but I guess I'm sort of on a vision quest these days to try and track my origins. I'm really grateful this place has been kept going for as long as it has. We did most of our communication back then on Instant Messengers so a lot of it isn't archived. Luckily I have 1 or 2 messages from 2003-2005 still in my inbox!
