In my opinion, if watching Pokemon makes you happy, go for it. The world today has many scary things to worry about and if watching Pokemon, a perfectly innocent activity, helps reduce stress, and makes you feel better, you should continue doing it. If you’re in your thirties, you grew up watching Pokemon since it first aired in the United States in 1998.
Many adults today will watch TV shows they watched as children. Not only are the shows still entertaining, they can ignite fond memories and emotions. It’s a tradition in our family to watch the Wizard of Oz every Thanksgiving holiday.
