Q: How long have you played Pokémon?
A: ehhh??? didn't i answer this earlier-
-oh, the earlier question was about individual gametime, not how long you've been a fan, i see...
i guess i'd say, outside of guessing the number like earlier, i've played it long enough where it's affected the person i grew up to be and still want to become. it helped nudge me into being interested in nature and pets, generally having a compassion for life and the people i meet, and i went to higher education thinking i'd get a phd and become a professor... my goals changed from that, but the influence is still there. i'm in the weird 'middle-stage evo' part of my life where i know what i want to be, but haven't gotten there yet. it's discouraging to see i still have a long way to go and continue to stumble awkwardly through life, but i remind myself that i've come so far from humble beginnings and to keep trying.
... last question.
