I don't see why that has anything to do with Pokemon...
When I was growing up (8 to 11 years old, 1998 to 2001) it seemed everyone who had a Gameboy had an encyclopaedic knowledge of Pokemon and the Red and Blue games. They knew every Pokemon's name from #1 to #151 as well as what levels they evolve at, where you can find Moon Stones, who Mr. Fuji from Lavender Town is, etc. It was not at all unusual and was even typical of children my age to know so much about Pokemon and I remember adults would just ask my friends (myself included in that group) to explain what Pokemon were and how they worked. We were all "experts."
I guess what she's saying is he has knowledge about a particular thing, or things and talks about them with the same intensity that kids in the late 1990s did about Pokemon.
Like my classmates, I could tell you all about Pokemon (I liked to draw them on the sidewalk with chalk when I was nine, on Saturdays). My interests at the time were endangered cat species and whales.
