Pokémon Red, man.
I was young back then I'd say around 10, away from home at some relative's house for the holydays.
I can't remember my entire team, I know I had a Moltres that was a major disappointment -especially since I wasted my Master Ball on it- an Arbok that cooler than it was efficient, an Alakazam and a level 100 rapetrain of a Blastoise that would inevitably ruin my brother's entire team by itself.
Words cannot put how much I loved my starter.
Anyway, I probably clocked over 90 hours because one fateful evening, I went to my PC on a whim to see my Elite 4 records.
Shit went full creepy pasta, with random musics playing instead of the pokécenter one, and random sprites and names appearing instead of my team. I watched it all out of curiosity until the game froze.
I had reached 99 hours or something.
The data was corrupt and wouldn't load anymore.
Oddly enough, I don't remember throwing a fit, just going to bed, hoping it was all a bad dream.
It doesn't mean I was not upset by it. It's a hidden wound. I may not have cried and yelled, but for reasons, I have never tried to raise another squirtle ever again. I have never reached level 100 with any other Pokémon than that Blastoise ever again, in any game.
