So I was like "yeah, no more virtual pets for me, thank you very much." I wasn't crazy at all about Ash when I first saw him (I'm still not) so the anime didn't sell me on the whole idea either. Then one of my brother's friends suggested "hey, you should get a Pokémon game with your brother so we can play together!" And after my brother did a load of things trying to get me into it, I was like "oh fine, guess I'll try it for a little while."
And a "little while" ended up becoming 16 years and still going on strong. I figure if I haven't left it by now, I'll probably end up sticking with it.
