Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Can you explain how you play the same game for 20 years? Like a basic description of how the game works and what keeps you in it..

It isn’t necessarily the same game just the same franchise/series. You can catch new generations of pokemon every release and most of the time you can transfer your old pokemon to your newest game. You can catch, train, battle and trade with other players around the world.
