Under no circumstances do you have to hand it to them etc but fr sometimes you need the 7 year old to shut up about Pikachu

Pokémon go to your room

in my experience if you let the 7-year-old infodump about Pikachu for as long as they want at least once, you will be immediately become their favorite uncle and possibly favorite person

It was very funny when his younger brother tried chiming into the screed and was immediately shushed because he still had much to say.

There’s lots of healthy and affirming ways to get a 7 year old to shut up about Pikachu. Redirection is just a skill that parents need to practice. And apparently Vance has a major skill issue.

Yeah there are way cooler Pokémon, like 10% Zygarde, or Corvisquire, or Lombre, or Lumineon, or Alomomola, or Simisage, or Wugtrio
