Quoted By:
So I was about 7 at the time, in first class, talking to a friend of mine about Pokemon Silver, when he asks:
>"So, how many badges have you got?"
>Tell him I have 3, just beat Whitney and damn proud.
>He looks at me with a smirk
>"Oh? Because I've already beaten the Pokemon League and now I get to play as a Gym Leader"
>Practically freaked, wanted to know how to become a Gym Leader, of course.
>Tells me "You have to get all the badges, and beat the league, and then go to the Gym you want to lead. Then, you can battle the Gym again. Then, talk to Professor Elm, and he'll give you a certificate that lets you be a Gym Leader"
>Amazed, want to become a Gym Leader so bad.
>Do all of the above in the space of a week, doesn't work.
>My 7 year old brain cannot comprehend that this isn't factual information.
>Ask him why it isn't working?
>Tells me "Oh,you must have chosen the wrong starter, you'll need to start your game again with a different one."
>Which one?
>"I can't remember"
Never again spoke about pokemon.
