Your Brain Has A SECRET Pokémon Section!

from Clownfish TV Podcasts · host Clownfish Studios / WebReef Media

Scientists found a literal Pokémon section in your brain -- Stanford researchers scanned adults who grinded the Game Boy games as kids and discovered a consistent chunk in the occipitotemporal sulcus lights up like a Poké Ball only for Pikachu and the rest of the roster, while non-players show zero response. Yeah your childhood obsession didn't just rot your social life -- it physically carved out dedicated gray matter real estate for pocket monsters that overlaps the face-recognition zone but stays all its own.
