I have two of them:
>Have Pokemon Red
>My first
>Bring it over to "friend's" house, I don't know the kid too well, just moved there.
>Wants to borrow it- I don't want to lend it to him.
>Mom convinces me to.
>Lend it to him.
>He goes to fucking North Carolina with it, where his parents live.
>Comes back, claims he "lost" it. Did I say that I also lent my Gameboy to the kid?
>Never see it again.
He gave me a bunch of Yu-Gi-Oh cards a few years later, a lot of Japanese holos. Probably out of guilt. He still comes up here occasionally, apparently he has a girlfriend a bunch of kids, despite being rather young.
Also:
>Have Gameboy SP with Fire Red.
>Logged lots of hours, also hacked my game to shit.
>Game filed deleted from extended Gameshark use.
>A bit upset, but I digress.
>Playing it. Go to a Halloween USA.
>Put it in the shopping cart next to my mom's purse.
>She doesn't see it.
>Leave store, go home.
>Go "hey mom, where's my Gameboy?"
>"I don't know."
>Panic.
>Go back to store and check shopping carts.
>The thing is gone, the employees know nothing, mom suspects they took it.
>Crying my shit to no end.
>Lose interest in Pokemon, anime, and cartoons because of it in a case of grapes and growing harassment from playing Pokemon.
>Quit playing for 2 years.
I'm so glad I was on a forum around the time Diamond and Pearl came out. If it wasn't for that influence, I probably would have never picked the games (or the stuff in general from my childhood) up again.
I also lost a good portion of Gamecube games with Colosseum in it, but that wasn't a traumatic
