| Illusion said: This is the second time now that Pokemon has become a fad to the point that it has impaired people's basic reasoning capabilities (the first time being 1999 when entire playgrounds were emptied during recess as kids huddled around in groups trading Pokemon cards). I'm no historian, but I can't think of a past fad that has managed to come back in a nearly identical form and become this popular again. I mean, there aren't even new Pokemon, these are just the original 151, right? |
Star Wars has done it three times.
However, generally once something has achieved massive, multi-generational appeal spanning several decades, it is ok to stop calling it a fad.
