>>18628677I didn't know what to do. I saved, trying to think of how I could escape without light. I think I cried myself to sleep, it was literally the worst thing that could happen to me in real life, happening to me in game. Even now, I leave the TV on if no one else but me is home because the sound of other people comforts me.
Rather anticlimactically, my Sandshrew fainted after one fight (bastard) and I popped up in Cerulean's Pokemon Center.
The second part is shorter: I spent a week stuck because i could not, would not, hell to the fuck not, stay in Lavender Town. The music... something was totally the fuck wrong with that place. I was a pretty intelligent child, just with the amount of sense you'd expect of one.
>see crazy lady with weird hair and something my parents had on their door called a 'dream catcher'>GIB ME BLOOD HUEHUEHUEHUE>dead pokemon everywhere>that fucking music>Gary nearly manhandling my shit>did i mention the musicSome side info, those 'scary books to read in the dark' books? Yeah, my cousin gave me those shortly after I started playing Yellow, the first one. PS fuck the scarecrow.
I was a fucking wreck. I kept on playing, of course, but holy hell I Lavender Town a glorious shit. I always made sure to stop at the edge, and zip through it as quick as I could. One day, after hitting level 40 with all my pokemon (with pikachu proudly at level 55) I stormed back in there and proceeded to lose my shit when not even motherfucking Charizard didn't dare fight the ghost.
After a while, my friend at school taught me about the silph scope, used it, proceeded with game and became a master.
