>>25120795In retrospect, this reminds me of my first experience with Pokemon.
>1998>Be me, 7 or 8 years old>Parents bought me Pokemon Red>Fuck yeah>Read manual like I'm gonna be tested on it>Prof. Oak recommends begginers start with Bulbasaur; the other starters are for "more experienced" players>Don't know what the evolutions will look like or anything about stats, moves, etc. so no reason not to choose him>Finally start playing, Oak asks if I want to nickname him>Think something involving weeds would sound badass (Snakeweed, Weedwhack, etc.)>Decide to go with "Weedback" for some reason>Mom asks me to come help her with some chore>Try to pause by pressing the Start button during the middle of nicknaming>Wound up naming him Weed>Didn't know shit about drugs>Derp around Kanto with mah little nigga Weed, teach him all the status-changer moves (Poison Powder, Sleep Powder, Stun Spore) and only one offensive move>Eventually start new game to get a starter who can fly>Years later remember my first adventure>mfw I wandered around the world using Weed to intoxicate everything>mfw I was basically the dealer of Kanto>mfw when Weed was my gateway drug for pokemonI kind of want this bong now.
