Why option works, and why it won't continue

[john van brocklin]

so, I turn 51 next week, and thus, to many of you I am old...I followed the thought process, but I didn't (and still don't) know the value of those names in pokemon....and, isn't pokemon getting stale?

I would offer that while the OP thinks of some of us as "too old" to get the reference, perhaps you are too young to field a response that all are capable of understanding or following?

I am 53 so maybe that's why I did not grasp the point either...: )
