>everyone talks about this new TV show called Pokemon and I dont have idea what it is.
>kids always watched Dragon Ball Z before, which I wasn't allowed to watch for its violence. I assumed Pokémon was a new DBZ: another series with blood, violence and more days of social exclusion.
>One day finally find the Bulbasaur episode on TV. Watched secretely and loved it since then.
age 8
>kids are fucking crazy for pokémon. The fever had already started. It was HAPPENING. T-shirts, albums, snacks, cereals, EVERYTHING had ASH and Pikachu slapped on it.
>I was a fan like any other and my parents actually allowed me to watch this. Not socially excluded anymore and made lots of pokéfriends
>one day some friend tells me there is a pokémon videogame

>ask my dad every day and night for a "GameBoy"
>family was getting into financial problems and we were getting poor as fuck very rapidly, so no gameboy, but got some fake TCG cards and made even more friends. I was one of the popular guys for fuck's sake.
>I asked Santa, fairies, god, every to give me a gameboy. I was obsessed with it. No result of course.
