We will never get our childhood back :(
Holy shit imagine peaking as a child, yikes!
>You'll never play Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, the best generation, as a kid again
GTFO normalfilth, everyone's greatest years are their childhoods kys
You zoomers irk me.
Had some of these but most of this is stuff my parents refused to buy me. Except the fucking Pikachu keychain. Why were those Pokemon keychains so popular again?
>zoomers
Are you retarded? zoomers start being born iin 1997 and up, they were too young for most of this stuff.
You must be in your 30s.

i miss it bros
I just made one of my childhood dreams
Come true. I always wanted an arcade racing game in my room and I got a serious steering wheel for my Xbox plus a stand
Actually better than the arcade machine because I can play any Xbox racing game and have Forza, the dirt games, and a few other niche games. Pretty fucking sweet
Same, my mum was a cheap scap so I never got to experience pokemon on gameboy.

You must be a massive norrmalfag
i am a zoomer and i played with beyblades and on the ps2. also had pokemon cards and the other thing i don't remember its name.
I think my parents didn't want me to watch Pokemon or play video games as a kid. We weren't that religious either, but they just didn't like it. I get why for the video games, but I still don't get why my parents didn't want me to watch Pokemon as a kid. Shows like Spongebob or whatever were fine. I'm not sure if it's because they were afraid I'd get into anime or they just saw fighting and thought it was bad. I was allowed to collect Pokemon cards though.
2000s were shite. Everything is better now.
High school was fucking hell. The Space program got executed in favour of 2 endless Muslim wars to flood Europe with immigrants. The smart phone ruined the internet.
Worthless time.
Anime is so fat edited it was feared it gave kids ADHD or epileptic seizures. It also has no educational value.
What year? 2004?
>Everything is better now
Die
i pawned or threw away 100% of everything in that pic, minus the gay anime shit.
toys are toys, they get thrown out.
I guess that kind of makes sense about anime. I didn't even realize Pokemon was from Japan til I was a teenager though, but I can't kind of see where it's coming from.
yea I still say I never watched anime. Forgetting Pokemon and Digimon.

This stuff got more media attention than it deserved and it soured alot of parents to Pokemon etc. Also people thought they were full of subliminal programming.
I loved anime in that era too. Everything was more creative, and you didn't have as much generic harem shit. Both characters (hero and heroine) actually had development.
I hear you. It seemed like there was more stuff to physically explore, without the scrutiny of being judged. I really think 9/11 became the turning point, that fully manifested our society's paranoia around 2012 or so.
Lol I remember this episode from /b/ as soon as I saw "epileptic seizures." I get it now thanks.
I'll somewhat agree with the guy. Things are easier to do now, but then what we choose to do with it is another question.
yeah i remember how much freedom kids had back then. i do recall there were whsperings and rumors about razor blade being hidden in halloween candy which was a pretty big scare pre 9/11 but nothing really came of it and it died out quickly. i miss just going outside and knowing other kids would be there to play with
Yes yes everything is shit!
I still play with beyblades though, who cares? im just 20 now and can buy all the soft drink and lollies I want
This. I'm the kid above who couldn't play video games as a kid. I own 3 consoles now and I play whatever the fuck I want. At least now I can recognize an actually good game from complete shit. Kids literally can't do that.
yeh I mean it was fun having those experiences as a kid, I'm not gonna lie it is different as an adult but ill take freedom over innocence
The fuck are you on about? I'm an early (97) zoomer and grew up playing Pokemon Red with my cousin, using DOS (my first computer was a Pentium 133 laptop), and using a vcr to play tapes in my room.
Being a poor early zoomer was like being born 2 or so years earlier technologically speaking.
You can emulate4 GBA and PS2. And Yu-Gi-Oh is still alive.
>mfw 26yo and I still got a PS2 and never played a PS3/Xbox360 or PS4/Xbox One because I am too poor
Do you niggers remember this shit?
idk looks rad though
>holding onto your childhood instead of embracing your current age and looking forward to your future
Weakness. Your childhood was determined mainly by your parents, random chance and instinct. You can shape your adult life however you want to and being stuck in childish fantasies is a dead end.
I prefer my life rape free
>giving a fuck about your childhood past 16
any of you nogs remember these?
God fucking dammit. My entire life for the past few years has been just reminiscing on childhood and role playing with my brother. Fuck.
Zoids were cool but the other things were pretty fucking retarded, for some reason I liked it as a kid tho
Yea, the older generations of leaders moved on and were replaced by shitty people. That I think is the biggest culprit.
>We will never get our childhood back :(
just fuck my shit up
You retarded? I was born in 98 and all the stuff I'm op's picture is what everyone I know and I grew up on.
>ps2
>remember playing mgs3 with brother
