Quoted By:
I saved for months for a second hand copy of Pokemon Yellow and a beat up old gameboy.
The first gym? FUCKING BROCK. I had to beat brock to death with a psychic butterfree and an oddish. Pikachu was so angry at being KO'ed. Even worse that yellow rat wouldn't evolve. I was wanting to strangle the useless rodent.
And then I found out it's possible to teach Pikachu surf.
I became the bane of my neighbohood: the crazy kid with the surfing pikachu! Everyone thought I hacked it when I didn't. I traded it to coliseum, then to crystal. Surfing Raichu was my bro through senior year.
The cart is gone but the memories remain.
