I was one of those middle-lower class kids whose parents couldn't afford video game consoles. Pokemon Dream World ran at like 10 FPS on my 2003 PC, yet I enjoyed it for some reason. There was an Arceus event in PDW, but since I didn't have a DS with Pokemon BW, there was no way for me to transfer it to the actual game. At that time, I thought to myself that it's fine, that I'll buy a DS when I grow up and transfer it someday. Little did I know that PDW is a temporary service and that I'll never be able to transfer that Arceus to my game. When I finally bought my DSi, the Dream World was long gone.
I'm well aware that Pokemon are just data but the child inside me still feels sorrowful. Sometimes I just wish I could go back in time and gift my past self all the games and gaming consoles I used to dream of.
