>Live in shit-tier south-american country, the kind of shit-tier country where video-games and systems are about 2-3 times more expensive than in the US. >Love pokemon, never played any of the games legally. All emulators, never had that Gengar I've always loved. >Best friend is going to spend x-mas in the US. >"Dude, could you buy me a 2DS and Pokemon X? Here, have the money up front" >"Sure, Anon. Actually, I'll buy a 2DS myself and Pokemon Y, we can trade. Or maybe I'll get X and give you Y, whatever." >A week goes by, super-hyped. Gengar, speed-boost Blaziken, Chandelure, all of them. Just a matter of time. >Get a call last night: "Hey, Anon. I've got some bad news. My brother told us he's dropping out of college. My dad lost his shit and cancelled the trip to the US. Also we couldn't get a fly back home on short notice, we'll spend x-mas on some hotel room." >"Man that's rough. Sorry to hear it. Let me know when you get back, we'll hang out." >Hang up. >MFW when no Pokemon for 2014, and no best friend for x-mas.
