For me, it's if they can remember a world without Pokemon

I disagree, that puts the last few years of Millennials into Gen Z though. That puts me into Gen Z and I'm a few years before the cutoff.

If you can't remember a world before Pokemon than you can't understand how amazing Pokemon truly are

I was 5 when Pokemon came to the US, so I don't think it's fair to say I remember a world before Pokemon. I have memories from before 5 sure, but nothing that counts as knowing what the world was like. And that's not even counting hearing about Pokemon from my Japanese cousins before it came here.

I also don't think it's fair to say I can't understand how amazing Pokemon are when those games dominated my whole childhood.

I would like to go back to a world without Pokemon.
