I'm not the greatest person. In fact I'm downright horrible and don't even feel any remorse, but that doesn't change the fact that Pokemon provided me with such great memories with my sister.
I've always been lonely, even if I never wanted to admit it. I'd spend my early years just playing games by myself. I had gotten used to it though, so it was fine. I played Colosseum and had no idea what I was doing so I only ever used Umbreon and used his bite attack against everything with him being level 100. I played Hey you Pikachu and Pokemon Channel so much too but I had never gotten bored. Maybe I didn't have a friend and my little sister was too young to play with, but I had Pikachu! Eventually I would insist that she watch me play too and just be there with me and we had a lot of fun together.
I didn't even get a handheld Pokemon game until X and Y. My sister was old enough to play games at that point so I got Y and made her get X. She didn't really like it itself, but loved it since we were playing it together. I fondly remember playing it on the way to the zoo one time. I'd have her watch the anime too and I was happy to see someone share my interests, even if I didn't realize the full extent of what I was doing. She looked up to me though and cherished every minute that we played together. She especially loved Hoopa and wanted one so bad. I managed to trade to get my hands on one and kept it for myself.
We played Sun and Moon together too. By this point though she had been drifting away from me, wising up to the fact that her own friends treated her better than I did.
She's an adult now, her own person. She doesn't want much of anything to do with me anymore and I don't blame her. All of those memories feels like a lifetime ago but I'll hold onto them dearly. Even if I was manipulative and cruel about it, Pokemon, especially XY, brought us closer together. We were inseparable and playing one version without her playing the other feels so hollow.
