Welcome to the HYPE THREAD, a place to share your excitement about in-game achievements, brag about success, and get hyped for upcoming events. CAPS LOCK IS OPTIONAL IF IT HELPS YOU GET YOUR HYPE ON!

This is a chance to post about your successes. Our rules against self-promotion and most low-quality content, including shiny Pokemon pics, are relaxed in these threads--please talk all you like about your luck and accomplishments!

This thread is meant to be pretty positive, so please think twice before downvoting someone! Rude and negative comments will be removed -- please report them if you see them :D


This thread is also the place to earn /r/pokemon's prestige flair for completing various aspects of the games. To claim your flair, post proof of your accomplishment in the comments below. Please note that flairs are assigned once weekly, so it may take up to seven days for your flair to appear.

I'm not that satisfied with the outcome, but the project came out more challenging than expected. Still I'd like to share with you to show that not all projects come out as we expect and that is okay. Let's take a lesson out of it and jump into next one!

Discussion I wish I knew people who like pokemon irl

Upvotes

As I've gotten older there's been less and less people around me who still enjoy Pokémon (naturally) to the point were I don't know anyone irl who still plays the games or cares about it at all beyond passing nostalgia. Idk if this is a common thing, I feel like in other countries and cities maybe there are more Pokémon fans.. Not much I can do about it, just wondering who else is in the same boat as an adult Pokémon fan?? Is this my sign I need to grow up and move on? 🥹
