That's almost a litmus test for the Millennial/Gen Z border (for the US at least). Usually remembering 9/11 means you're more on the Millennial side. Though generations are fuzzy and ill-defined.
For me, it's if they can remember a world without Pokemon
I disagree, that puts the last few years of Millennials into Gen Z though. That puts me into Gen Z and I'm a few years before the cutoff.
If you can't remember a world before Pokemon than you can't understand how amazing Pokemon truly are
I was 5 when Pokemon came to the US, so I don't think it's fair to say I remember a world before Pokemon. I have memories from before 5 sure, but nothing that counts as knowing what the world was like. And that's not even counting hearing about Pokemon from my Japanese cousins before it came here.
I also don't think it's fair to say I can't understand how amazing Pokemon are when those games dominated my whole childhood.
I guess it's the difference between a child who lived in poverty suddenly getting rich versus a child born into wealth
What are you even talking about? My point is that's not a good measure of the generational transition from Millennial to Gen Z. It's the wrong timing.
And my point is that you aren't qualified to make that statement because you're too young to remember a world without Pokemon
Just... no. Memory before 1998 is a terrible litmus test for a birth year cutoff at 1996. Perhaps you had too much lead exposure.
I would like to go back to a world without Pokemon.
