 I was thinking about publishing Pokemon on Nostr. I figured it should have a "gen" tag, like ["gen", "1']. But Pokemon generations are always written in Roman numerals (I guess people do think about Rome every day), then I thought about how funny it would be to have tags like ["gen", "vii"], forcing people to have to import some Roman numeral parsing library and to call a function like: new RomanNumeral(str).toNumber() 🤣
