>>27323631>i'll never tear off the rapping paper and see this box and have no fucking clue what the fuck i'm looking at but only know it's fucking awesome againmy parents had wealthy japanese friends that got me a gameboy and pokemon Red in japanese right when it came out and was this huge thing in japan, nobody in australia had even heard of pokemon when i had it
parents owned a Duty Free Shop with japanese women working the counter because >90's japanese mass tourism in australia era
had them translate the menus and some things for me
played 1/4 of the way through fucking thing purely through trial and error at 7 years old
didn't get to complete it until 3 years later when it started blowing up in west and i bought myself a playthrough guide
same thing happened with pokemon yellow and then again with pokemon gold and silver, the fucking lunatics bought me and my brother a gameboy colour each, and both a copy of gold AND silver each for christmas 1999
thank you based wealthy japanese friend
