What are you talking about?

There are parents out there young enough to not remember the remake of Red/Blue.

You can have your parents be younger than Diamond and Pearl before it starts making me think about the failure of social security nets.

I mean you can technically become a parent at like 11 so this really isnt all that meaningful yeah.

  I am literally cutting it off at 18, hence the security net thing.
  
  If you're gonna go into biological limits we're looking at the end of the 3DS era. You could technically have grandparents who weren't born back in Red/Blue days, but we're trying to keep things from getting gross, we're just aiming for depressing.

You should already be thinking about failure of social security nets.

  Look, I do feel some empathy for people stuck in less civilized parts of the planet, but I can't personally care about every self-destructive, violent culture that fails to join modern society, you know?
  
  I do support protecting their refugees, assuming they are willing to, you know, integrate into the culture.
