Ah, the Pokemon craze. Makes me wish I was born 10 years earlier than I was so I could of experienced the beginning of Pokemon. Instead I started the series with Diamond :/
The swedish dub was creepy af.
Oh well, the really old Pokemon cards and games even if it was more 2000's here.
I'm kinda glad Pok?mon came out in late 1999/early 2000 over here so I was able to witness the beginning haha xD (Still a big Pok?mon fan here.) I was only 6 years old when Red/Blue came around but I remember it all so well! We were all crazy about Pok?mon! I spent most weekends with friends playing Pok?mon Red/Blue, then a little later Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal etc. etc.
By the time Ruby and Sapphire were released, the craze was long gone... or at least not as big as it was at the beginning.

Ohhh lordy, the Pokemon craze was great. Pokemon were simple to remember and you were dubbed the coolest kid in your class if you could remember them all. 1999, my dad bought me the yellow Gameboy Colour, along with Pokemon yellow. I remember being the ONLY kid (along with my younger brother) in my elementary school who had the game, haha. Ahh great times.
Funny story; when I reached Lavender Town, I got really scared because of the whole "Pokemon graveyard/dead pokemon" thing. I hid the game under a pile of books and never played it again. When I was 16, I found the game and decided to play it again, finished it, and realised it took me 8 years to finish Pokemon Yellow :'D

Lol, that is an interesting story. At least you finished it, even though it took years
When I was 7 I started at a new school and I'd never heard of Pokemon before. At recess all the kids would play Pokemon...no no not the video game. They would just each be a different Pokemon and run around saying their own name. So I ask to play and some kid is like "Sure, you can be Jigglypuff, just run around saying Jigglypuff". I felt like I had woken up on another planet.
Well I think I knew all Pok?mon by heart before I even played Pok?mon Red for the first time because I would watch friends who were a little older than me play Red/Blue all the time
Thinking back now, I believe I didn't even know how to read back then as I was only 6! How did I enjoy this game SO much?! XD
Aw, man, it was! lol My bad!
OMG. Yes. The best commercial ever made.

Same here! They were some of my favorite toys (right along side of Micro Machines). I remember Puppy/Kitty in my Pocket, too! And on the same line of pockets... Polly Pocket!
I don't get the appeal of Littlest Pet Shop with the styles nowadays, either, but each to their own generation, I guess!
Does anyone remember 'Popples' and 'Groovy Ghoulies'? Awesome shows!
I definitely remember the Popples! I also had tons of their stuffed animals. Party Popple was one of my favorites because she was pink, but I loved them all. And the bigger ones having pouches for the smaller ones was just too darn cute.
Okay, I have to ask. WHO HAD FANNY PACKS? I wore those everywhere. No regrets. I still have blue one and a pink one.

True, they were definitely not fashionable. Haha. But I wasn't worried about that in the 90's.
Same. And I remember holding a radio up to the TV when I wanted to record a song. And using a player that could play two cassettes at the same time to record the content of one onto another.
noice i think our stereo still has dual cassette playing things xD then we can play vinyl records as well so might tell you how old it is

I did this, too. Not just with the TV, but also with video games. And I used to record straight off the radio with my boombox. Casey's Hot 20, every Saturday.
