You would think people my age would've been the last people who were part of the OT generation, but many people years later still grew up with the OT, people who were born after turtle mania had died and replaced by Power Rangers.

Very, very true. Another example is the english dub of DragonBall Z, which I remember was having re-runs in the mid/late 2000s and a whole new generation of kids were getting into the franchise.

Probably not the best thread to ask this question, but what was it like to work for the Pokemon company? Just intensely curious, since I'm a huge Pokemon fan.
