Had a similar phone, my gameboy was a couple of gens older, and I never played pokemon... But I remember when my friends got their ps2s and I listened to both albums on my commute yesterday... Wtf happened? 2005 was yesterday!
Where's the mini-skirt made of snake skin? And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen? When did reality become TV? Whatever happened to sitcoms, game shows (on the radio?)
Really fucked up thing is, that song came out in 2004, and is about a woman remembering 1985, like we're remembering 2005... It's already been a year more for us than her.
Time spares no one, friend. Howl in defiance with me for just a few moments more.
Millennial, here (1988) and this is just my early-to-mid teen years, which I consider part of my childhood.
Showed the meme to my GF who born in 1995 and she couldn't even relate to half of this starter pack. Her era was Wii and DS, not GBA and PS2. Her first phone was an iPhone.
She got started late smh we were all playing GBA on the bus back in the day.
That's a fair assessment. She is the youngest and her asshole siblings would never let her use their game consoles. She didn't get her own until age 10.
But to be even more fair, I didn't get my first console (N64) until I was 9. Some kids were lucky enough to have parents willing to buy them expensive electronics at a younger age. Neither of us were that lucky/spoiled. But my neighbor who was one year younger than me had a SNES and a PC. I didn't get my own PC until 2004. Until then everyone except my dad had to share the living room computer, and it had the shittiest GPU in the world—GeForce4 MX 4000—which was basically a scam card. But it was good enough to run Driver and Spider-Man (the one based on the first Tobey film), so it was good enough for me. Half-Life 2 was out of the question, though.

I am about your GF's age and agree with the other commenters --the meme is spot on. I was just having an Emerald nostalgia trip before I saw this meme. I played Emerald on a DS lite; the generations weren't that far apart. PS2 was my first console.
I was born in 96. My first console generation was PSX and GBC, followed by GBA and PS2. I think your gf just wasn't in to gaming when she was little.
Weird, I'm only two years older than here and this image fits me perfectly. I had every version of gameboy, a GameCube, n64, I played the SHIT out of oblivion, and my back hurts.

GRAB YOUR SWORD, AND FIGHT THE HORDE! UNCLE LOTHAR WANTS YOU!
Mostly accurate, except maybe the phone. Kids (10yo as shown by the meme) having phones was much less common.
'95 kids may have had these later on as they went into highschool especially when there parents started getting early smartphones and handing down their Razr. But in 2005? Very rare.
I was born in '92. Didn't get my first phone til I was 14 in 2006. It was a Kyocera Oystr. Then in 2009 I had a Moto RAZR ve20. Most of the kids I knew called it a RAZR 1½. Loved that phone. It had a 3.5mm jack that worked with regular headphones so I put all my music on it and never asked for an iPod. It was sick that it had music controls on the back of the clamshell.
I didn't get my first smartphone until 2011, and I had to pay for it myself. It was a US Cellular variant of the Moto Photon 4G called the Electrify. It had this sick CRT animation when you locked the screen. Motorola made some kickass smartphones in the day.
Honestly if they'd update their freaking phones in a timely and long-term manner I'd say Moto still makes great phones.

is that thing in the upper right a slice of cabbage?
Beyblades!
I thought they were much simpler back then, no?
back then
Oof, ow, ouchie
Idk what they are now, but they were just cool looking spinning tops with sharp pokey bits to topple enemy beyblades, or more likely, to cause bodily harm to your friends, especially the diecast metal ones that had some heft to them

I came to the chat wondering what it was too. Look like an endoplasmic reticulum to me, but no idea why that would be there.

" Zoomber"?
Do people really remember that much before age 10? I have a few core memories but general cultural awareness is pretty lacking and mostly based on hindsight.
I remember a lot after the age of 7.
I remember mostly tech and playing video games, lol.
For extra fun: sing System of a Down in public and see who becomes confused and/or aroused.
My alarm used to be Chop Suey.
The hard part was converting then getting the cable to upload AMR files to my phone. Made me feel
PUUUUUUUL THE TAPE WORM OUT OF YOUR ASS!
I feel seen/attacked.
Anybody remember the SHREK KETCHUP lolol
I’m still looking for my GBA-SP! It’s the retro Nintendo version. I want to play Golden Sun without paying for it.
Hell yeah Golden Sun!
Nothing quite like gathering a few friends and beating the crap out of each other with those lightsabers

Replace a PlayStation 2 with a early 2000's computer and everything checks out for me.
Half Life 2 where are yoooouuuuu. And I'm so sooorry.
I was lit for most of 2005
2005 was lit! 2006 was probably one of the best years of my life, despite being relatively broke most of the time.
There's no way I'm older than you. You can't do this to me!
Yeah this was pretty much all the things
Hey that’s me!!
