i'm not particularly interested in seeking out people i knew, but whenever i come across someone from the mainline pokemon games that i was close with like iono or penny, or someone i just tangentially knew like larry.. i can't help but feel this weird sense of dissonance. to me, iono and penny are close friends. but to them, there's the chance that they might not have even known a version of me at all. the fact that there may be worlds out there that have versions of people i knew, but not myself, is just.. really terrifying to me.
