Anyone who was a kid in the late 90's knows exactly what I mean when I say "gotta catch 'em all!" POKEMON! The game that everyone loved in elementary school and the show that everyone watched when they got home from school.
Thinking back, it's CRAZY how popular the game was. Everyone I knew as a kid played the game, collected the cards, and watched the show. And the creators must have done something right because they're still making Pokemon games, cards, and shows and they're still popular with kids. My girlfriend's younger brother is OBSESSED with it. It's hilarious because it reminds me of myself as a kid.
Exploring a world and capturing hundreds of creatures and forcing them to battle each other seems cruel but I guess it appeals to kids for some reason.
