I feel something has been different with me lately
I think im losing touch with pokemon. I love the series, I've been interacting with different events in person and online, but lately I feel like I've almost grown out of it. And I don't want to. With me being focused on school work and my own story, I feel like my childhood is slipping away.
I think a reason for this is that im so involved with my irl friends, school and family. Im picking up new sports. Setting a foundation thatll carry me to college. I actually feel like im doing good things. But when that starts to happen, I feel like i haven't had time for personal interests.
Im not buying cards like i used to anymore, im not collecting plushies like i used to (my last plush was during go fest when i bought a politoed), and I haven't touched a game in what feels like so long. (You could count smash bros)
I want to ask you guys what I could do. It could be from telling me to play pocket more, to some random habit I could pick up that wouldn't interfere with my life outside of it.
Ive tried setting my wallpaper, curating my social media to have pokemon things, and even bought a Lego set. (The bulbasaur and bidoof one if youre curious)
I ask this with sincerity, can you help me stay in touch with the things I cherish most?

Stay toed-ally cool
Hey
I get what you're saying
But don't try to force yourself into it
Just savor what you used to enjoy
The good memories you made
But don't try to force yourself into it
However if you're determined why don't every day you randomize the dex and read its information, then share it on the Forums
Just a thought
No matter what you'll always be welcome here!

Maybe take a break from the series and revisit it later on, use this time to explore other series and find something new.

Honestly i wanted to make this a poll but didnt know what to put
Play Unite while it lasts. Works on Mobile and Switch. I'll probably be getting it sometime soon after making a Bet and promptly having the odds stacked against me because all the participants already play so I basically had no outcome that results in me not getting it... 😇

They just released Jolteon and Flareon, making the Eevolutions whole.

It’s okay to lose interest in something don’t force yourself to do something if I’d doesn’t make you happy @MonstaDash is right and gave some really good advice, and just because you cherish something doesn’t mean you have to have to constantly do it I cherish my time that I have had in this community, even though it’s been over 2 years since I’ve collected pokemon cards, over 4 since I watched the anime, and a few month since I last played an official game, in this time I’ve found many more interests that I have enjoyed

Jolteon is better imo but Flareon is still strong too🙂

The thing is though I don't want to lose interest. I want to find ways where when I get a break from school work or I find that my introverted little personality is worn out, I can use pokemon as a place of comfort. I want to use it to replace doomscrolling and bed rotting and find ways to make it still make me happy.
