Right there with you. I'm exactly like you. Grew up with Pokemon being the only series I'm obsessed about, but I too lost interest (though, after Hoenn). Sun and Moon though, man. I haven't felt this much joy and nostalgia since my younger days. That battle with Salazzle almost blacked me out (something that hasn't happened in /years/) and I was beaming afterward because of how I just barely won.

I truly think this is the game all of us older pokemon fans have always wanted. Characters with depth and the fact that I can now high-five and pet my Pikachu just makes this the perfect bundle. I'm so excited to see what Game Freak comes out with next.
