I am old enough to have been a full grown adult when Pokémon hit. I never understood the game. I will continue to refer to it as “Pokemans” to watch the children tremble and cringe.

The symbiotic connection is so strong that the Pokemon will all die when their trainer dies, but you could still help yourself to the contents of their wallet, so it depends on where your priorities lie.
