The nostalgia-inducing GIF — created and shared by the Twitter user _gamemix_, shows the game's evolution both through the years and in light of changing technology, as in, from the original Game Boy to the Game Boy Color and so on. The ending, though, has to be the cutest part, where Pikachu jumps into Ash's arms and reminds us why we love the franchise so damn much.

This tweet is bound to become even more popular, considering it already has more than 100,000 retweets "likes." Take a look and then stroll down memory lane with these other memories only Pokémon fans would have.
