Message: [QUOTE="MegaHiro91, post: 84059, member: 175527"] You bring up an interesting point. In the manga Medalist there is a quote that (paraphrasing): "Sometimes it's okay for an adult to become a kid again if you feel you haven't made enough special memories. So you make those memories, then jump back to being an adult, and then find yourself more 'whole' than before". E.g going to DisneyLand for the first time as a 25 year old because your family couldn't afford it when you were a child. The thing is, like you said, I'm not 10 years old anymore, so while I'm proud to say that I DO still have my inner child intact and can't find joy and excitement in the smallest mundane things that many take for granted or overlook... I can never SEE the world, nor the media I consume, through the untainted eyes of a kid again. I can PRETEND, sure, but the feeling will never be 100% authentic. I mean I did enjoy that trip to DisneyLand, but imagine how much I'd've enjoyed it had I been 7 and not 25. So while you can indeed start playing Pokémon today and even gather some friends to battle and trade and pretend it's 1999 again, it will never be exactly the same. Like you said. [/QUOTE]
