Pokémon has been a huge part of my life, from the trading card games and anime to the plethora of video games. I remember my brother getting the Game Boy Advance SP for his birthday and watching him play FireRed for hours on end, dreaming of the day I could play it myself. I remember my grandmother surprising me with Pokémon Black on the DS, completely unaware of what a Pokémon was, but knowing it meant a lot to me anyway. I remember spending countless nights under the duvet playing Pokémon, hoping my parents wouldn't catch me.
