>take the game with me everywhere, even to puerto rico
>blazer the bashful blaziken is level 89 by the time i reach elite 4, it even manages to OHKO groudon
>never complete game because cousin takes it back
>he erases the file
>get incredibly sad over loss of blaziken, even have dreams about getting the game back
>emerald is announced
>obsessively watch IGN preview videos every. single. day.
>replace need for blaziken by purchasing used copies of firered and crystal and replaying blue and yellow
>receive emerald for christmas and play through its entirety
