if they don't do another remake of gen ii then how will kids learn what the radio is

how will children understand the desire to get a television interview in a time before streamers and youtube if they never play gen iii or iv

despite the joking tone i do think continuing to re·encode images of the past is a meaningful and worthwhile pursuit, and there isn’t a whole lot of it in New Media outside of pokémon video game remakes

if a new game came out today which tried to portray the 90s or 00s it would do it as a bit or aesthetic (see: Murder by Numbers [still a good game]) but pokémon remakes are remakes of how the 90s and 00s portrayed themselves
