A speaker reflects on a 1999 Time magazine article that called Pokémon a fleeting fad, arguing the franchise has proven critics wrong. He uses Charizard and his own nostalgia as proof that Pokémon's cultural impact has endured, encouraging listeners not to be discouraged by detractors.
1999, Time magazine ends up roasting Pokémon. How long will it last? Pokémon may be going strong for now. Today's craze will fade as soon as the next big thing arrives. Don't let anyone put you down. Pokémon didn't let them put you down. And I'm old. Look, there's a Charizard. I keep that just because, uh, that reminds me of the haters. They hated on Pokémon. Forget them, you know, they don't know time. Pokémon will probably even last longer than time.
