2015 marks 20 years since Satoshi Tajiri began creating Pokemon, in 1995. The franchise and its characters have obviously become immensely popular, none more so than Ash Ketchum’s sparky sidekick, Pikachu.

2. When you’re feeling your look

3. When you bump into your best friend in the club

4. When your jam comes on

5. When you and your buddy spot a hottie at the bar

6. When someone asks if you want another drink

7. When you need a post-club snack

8. When your friend is so drunk that you have to carry him home

9. When you lose your friends and are forced to reassess your life choices

10. When you finally get into bed

11. When you wake up hungover
