    Hello, it's been a while, but I've been lurking on and off, like a lot of people have been doing I suppose. I'm going to be doing some more posting because I have some writing that I'd like to have hosted on a website less buggy than Fanfiction-dot-net and because my oldest kid is turning into a total Pokemaniac and I'll have some fun stories to share and questions to ask as a result.
    Is the Discord server still a thing? I'm, like, ten years behind but I finally got a Discord.

    Welcome back! I don't have kids of my own but I do have nephews and I think it would be fun to get them into Pokemon as well. But yeah, glad to see Pokemon is still going strong through the generations.

    I think the Discord is still active. I kind of dropped out of most Discord community things as I'm kind of fatigued by it and I really only use it to chat with Chakra and for in game voice chat.

    Believe it or not, I didn't try to push the Pokemon thing, but I had some old books lying around from when I was a kid, and he found them, and then he had questions about them and, well, what was I supposed to do? I tell you, it was really humbling being corrected by a four-year-old about how Ursaring actually [i]does[/] have an evolution now.

    Hey, we all got started with Pokemon from something, somewhere! For me, it was from my brother, so it seems only right I get his kids into Pokemon when he got me into it! xD

    But yeah, my oldest nephew is only 2, so I don't think he'd quite understand Pokemon at the moment. Soon, maybe!

    Hello! Welcome back! :)

    That's so cool your son is interested in Pokemon! It must be really nice to share that with him! Does he have a favourite Pokemon? I wonder what the kids like these days xD

    It comes up faster than you'd think! I think right around the three mark was when my oldest caught the bug, and once the oldest is into something, the younger siblings aren't far behind. One of his baby brother's first words was "Zigzigzagoon," after all!

    My kids tend to like Pokémon that are similar to the animals that they also like, so for my oldest it's Bewear and Stuffel because he is obsessed with bears, and for the next oldest boy he likes Bellybolt (who I had to look up!) because he likes frogs, and Litten because he likes kitties. The youngest is still too fresh to have a favorite, but our third boy likes "Zigzgizagoon" because he heard his oldest brother say it a lot after he got a Pokémon encyclopedia for Christmas.

    Part of it is what they're exposed to, we found a DVD at the library with the Sun and Moon series finale on it, and that really got them into Alolan Pokémon. Or when I told the stories of Pokémon Colosseum and XD as bedtime story, all my oldest wanted to pretend to be during our games of tag was "Shadow Ball Lugia!"
