| 3442 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | @Hoju Before the main ceremony, our class had to wait in the cafeteria, where we put on our gowns, signed the last of our yearbooks and such. A group of friends and I were sitting on one of the lunch room tables. And I don't mean the seats, I mean the actually table top. So at one point the principal comes in to make his final speeches before the ceremony. My friends jumped off the table and left me by myself. Now given my large size, and the fact that I was sitting on the end of the table, the opposite end of the table started to rise in the air. So then I jumped off, causing the table to come slamming into the ground, where a group of kids had to jump out of the way to avoid getting hit. Everyone's attention turned towards me, and then the principal said "Thanks for getting everyone's attention Mr. InsertLastNameHere". Needless to say I had to have one last embarrassing event before I checked out of high school. | Mar 14, 2016 |  | |
| 3443 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Rick Ace Rhodes That is indeed a loud and inescapable moment of embarrassment right there. | Childhood Embarrassment 9021-D'oh! | Mar 14, 2016 | |
| 3445 | Article | massreality | Dude… I blame the packaging for the 90210 doll. There was just something about it that was so alluring. While I never went through with buying one, that doesn’t mean I didn’t want to. One of the character’s name was Brandon, so when I saw a doll with the name Brandon on it, I wanted it. 90210 seemed liked a grown up show, so I somehow convinced myself that because of that it wasn’t a Barbie and would be perfectly acceptable to buy. I’ll never forget going up and down the toy aisle at K-Mart and stopping over and over again at that 90210 doll. Had I been alone, I would have bought it. There was just no way for me to gather up the nerve to ask my grandma for it. Although, after reading your story, I’m so glad I never went through with it. | Childhood Embarrassment 9021-D'oh! | Mar 15, 2016 | |
| 3485 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @massreality You had the same dilemma? That's comforting and disturbing for both of us. I never thought of the "sophisticated" toy angle, but you're right, it would have been a completely mature purchase to make. It wasn't like it was a Polly Pocket, that's kid's stuff. | Childhood Embarrassment 9021-D'oh! | Mar 24, 2016 | |
| 3386 | Article | massreality | That was a great break down of your relationship with the series. I was in high school by 1998, so I missed out on the Pokemon bandwagon. I remember watching all the kids on the bus playing and trading cards, and I felt like I was missing out on something big. Back when Black/White came out on the DS, I bought a copy of Black just to see what all the fuss was about. I can't say that I fell totally in love with it, but I did enjoy the time I spent with the game. My girlfriend has taken over my 3DS XL once I introduced her to Animal Crossing, so I ordered myself a new one that should be here on Monday. I plan on buying Yellow from the Virtual Console, so I can truly dig in on the old school Pokemon. | 20 years of Pok'emon: Looking back to the franchise as an adult | Feb 27, 2016 | |
| 3387 | Article | Benjanime | i did get to play a bit of pok'emon white from a nephew of mine. can i just say that i'm one of the few people that's not fond of the recent pok'emon designs? lol. go for it man. i bought the red version on my 3DS and i've been having a hard time putting it down. | 20 years of Pok'emon: Looking back to the franchise as an adult | Feb 28, 2016 | |
| 3389 | Article | Vaporman87 | I too missed out on the Pokemon craze. I actually had a lot of difficulty understanding it's appeal for a while. I would see and hear about this craze, and just scratch my head. I just didn't see the appeal of it. The same went for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Both seemed really overblown to me. I would be lying if I said I now understand it. I don't. LOL. However, I think I have a better grasp of their appeal to those who did enjoy them, and still do. | 20 years of Pok'emon: Looking back to the franchise as an adult | Feb 28, 2016 | |
| 3406 | Article | Mr Magic | I was really into the Pokemon craze when it was a new thing. I watched the show, I played the games. It was something that just clung to me. | 20 years of Pok'emon: Looking back to the franchise as an adult | Feb 29, 2016 | |
| 3410 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | I still can't believe it's been 20 years. It feels just like yesterday I was watching the original series on Kids WB. | 20 years of Pok'emon: Looking back to the franchise as an adult | Mar 01, 2016 | |
| 3414 | Article | munkysrench | "I was neglected by my older siblings" --- I resent that! Lol. I do remember when it was out for a while and you had started collecting/trading cards that first year. I wasn't sure if you were actually playing the card game, or just collecting them just to have them. Actually, I still don't know. I know we didn't bond much as kids, with what different likes we had, but I still loved you bud. I'm glad you lived with me for those 5 years, because we had bonded so much. Another great read, allowing me to stroll down another one of many memories in our home. | 20 years of Pok'emon: Looking back to the franchise as an adult | Mar 04, 2016 | |
