Since its introduction in the 1990s, Pokemon has become an essential part of many people’s lives, with many fans still appreciating it as much as they did on day one. It may be an excellent starting point for discussion, with participants discussing their favourite monsters and games from the series.
It was simple to recognize other Pokemon fanatics out in the wild when Pokemon GO was at its pinnacle of popularity. However, even outside of the Pokemon GO phenomena, users sometimes get fortunate and run across other Pokemon trainers in real life. One fortunate Pokemon enthusiast, for example, was awarded a unique gift after making a polite comment.
Reddit user Death961 used the platform to shout out to a fellow fan they met in person. They were at the Hollywood Bowl, according to the Redditor, when they saw another Pokemon enthusiast with a Bulbasaur bag and a Pokemon T-shirt. Death961 greeted them and praised them on their Pokemon outfit, but then the stranger took out a deck of Pokemon cards and gave them a present of their choice.
Death961 drew a holographic Lugia card from the 25th Anniversary TCG set of Pokemon Celebrations. They were pleased with their choice and wanted to share their excitement with other Pokemon enthusiasts on the Pokemon subreddit and publicly thank the gifter. Other users were amazed and jealous of the experience, and others expressed their love for Pokemon.
It’s unclear why the random Pokemon enthusiast opted to do this extraordinary deed, but it’s a lovely moment nonetheless. Even if there’s a fair probability the cards they provided were duplicates, it’s a grand gesture to give away a free card that they might have otherwise used or sold.
It’s almost like something out of a game or anime since the main character is sometimes given random stuff and Pokemon by conversing with NPCs.
Although multiplayer fights were not initially planned for the Pokemon games, they have been a franchise staple since its inception. The series has a way of drawing people together who may not have much else in common, with fans exchanging and fighting Pokemon with friends and strangers.
Players will have even more opportunities to play with friends or create new ones now that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet include multiplayer co-op for the first time in the core series of games.
