I was a sophomore in High School when I got Platinum. I had skipped the third generation because when I was playing gold I decided I wanted a gameshark and, being the dumbass kid I was, I accidently deleted my level 100 Charizard. I shed mega tears. Afterwards I stopped playing and when Ruby and Sapphire came out I saw the commercials and though "Oh cool, doubles battles are a thing now" but I didn't get it.
Years later, I am in band and all my friends have d/p/pt and I decide it's about time to get back into the franchise. Old wounds can't be open forever so I went and bought Platinum as soon as I could. When it was time to choose my starter I saw that there was a fire monkey and I flipped my shit (Monkeys are my favorite animal). I named the little Chimchar Loki and we traveled through Sinnoh. Each new pokemon I found was a pleasant surprise and he has been my favorite pokemon since.
