Pokémon’s older games were filled with experiences many Trainers never got to fully enjoy. Experiences like perfect Pokéblocks, record mixing, and trading with people sitting right beside you were dormant for many Trainers.

For Adam Woodward, organizer of Sky Arrow Club, those forgotten multiplayer experiences are worth bringing back.

Adam Woodward shares how a Black 2 and White 2 Funfest meetup grew into a community dedicated to experiencing retro Pokémon together. He discusses organizing events across New York, recreating old tournament formats, making competitive play more accessible, and finally experiencing features he had waited years to enjoy with other players.

But Sky Arrow is about more than preserving old games. It’s about creating the kind of memories Adam hopes people will someday want to recreate themselves.

Because Pokémon may be playable alone, but some of its best memories require another Trainer.
