i can remember all of them from when i was a kid, but that number has since tripled. if i was a kid now i don't think i would be able to learn all of them in the first place!

Triple isn't that bad. I knew 151 and then the main ones from the next few games (and didn't learn all the names, I don't remember any of the middle evolutions) but there are 1025 now

It's a shame they didn't clue into the regional variants sooner. I love all the different Meowths. Would have been cool if each new game was remixes of existing pokemon.

Instead of the increasingly humanoid and spikey looking digimon they've been coming up with.

I wish they had better games rather than just new coats of paint

Imagine how creative they would have to be if they were restricted to only the first 151 for the last 25 years
