The Pokemon franchise is creeping toward its 30th anniversary, which means that many of the kids who were around during the original PokeMania boom have long since grown up, possibly with children of their own to share their hobbies with.
While finding people who like certain nerd hobbies can be hard, this isn’t the case with Pokemon. As Pokemon is the biggest media entity on the planet, one adored by people of all ages, it’s easy to find a romantic partner who loves at least one part of the franchise.
