>>17662782I never had a Gameboy when they came out around the time I was in Kindergarten, but I collected the cards like a motherfucker.
I remember I got my first foil, which was a Gengar, and was attached to it.
Finally got my first Gameboy Advance SP when I turned 12, got Leafgreen and played the shit out of it.
Caught a Shiny Gastly the first Time I encountered it, and had it in my party ever since.
I Thought it was how they always looked, until I saw other colored Gastlys and knew he was special
First Slot, no Bullshit.
Though It took me a fucking year to evolve it to a Gengar because I couldn't find someone to trade with in the first place.
I carried over that same Gengar until Gen V, and waiting for Poke Bank to come out.
Almost 10 years i've had that Gengar.
No I won't fucking understand.
