Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Can you explain how you play the same game for 20 years? Like a basic description of how the game works and what keeps you in it..
It's not that you play one game exactly. The Pokemon games are about collecting and raising monsters. Each of those monsters have some unique stats and metadata.
Each time a sequel comes out, those games usually give you a way to transfer creatures from the old game to the new game (it used to be by linking games directly, now I think they have a side app).
Even though each generation brings kind of a totally new game, in same ways they have aspects of expansion packs. You can keep using the monsters you had before and building a bigger collection.
thanks
