>Friend is literally confined to his house
>Feel bad, give him my GBA and a bunch of games
>Included is Fire Red
>He trains a Magikarp to level 100
>His house burns down and all of the games I gave to him
>All that remained was that Gameboy with the Magikarp

That last part wasn't true; I just think that kid had to be so fucking bored, that's so bizarre to invest that much time into getting a LVL 100 Magikarp.

Emulators have existed as long as ROM dumping.

Let's see...

>It is either 1997 or 1998... Anyway, I'm in second year of Junior High.
>Go to a friend's house
>A common friend of us of Korean ancestry -his grandparent had lo leave Korea because his whole family was massacred by the North Korean Army- is showing my friend's younger brother how to play this new and weird fighting game.
>It turns out it was his copy of Pokémon Blue that he bought last summer in Korea (his family always went there on summer vacations).
>I see them playing, but since they described it to me as "a fighting game" I am hugely dissapointed by the bad graphics and the lack of real time action.
>The rest of us then play other Playstation games.

Like two months later BOOM!!!! Pokémon mania exploded everywhere. I actually played it first in the family PC with no$gb and a ROM. Sometime later I bought my Korean friend his Game Boy Pocket -the one in which he taught my friend's younger brother how to play Pokémon- and my own copy of Red.

I still have them on my collection of old videogames.
