Ben Says: "Pokémon Red, I am a total Gen 1er over here. That opening screen with Charizard roaring? Straight chills. I still remember picking my first starter (Charmander, obviously) and not really knowing how to play, but knowing I needed to find Pikachu. I definitely still have a soft spot for it.

Elena Says: "Pokémon really is a combination of two things I’ve always loved… collecting and cute things!

Eliza Says: "If it was real life I would have a Venusaur, Because… It has a really nice scent, it can help you lift heavy things, it would help you grow nice plants and you could ride on it but you wouldn’t have to worry about getting wet like a Blastoise or getting burnt by fire like Charizard or an electric shock from an electric Pokémon."

We love the logic and the personality behind this choice! 🌿💪" What’s y
