My experiences with Crystal
Being a little shit, not understanding what RPGs or Grinding were, so I just went up against Falkner with my level 8 Chikorita and level 4 Poliwag and shit, obviously lost, and gave up.
My older cousin who was into Pokemon too but lived far away came down, gave me a level 35 Miltank and Stantler
Used that to get to Olivine, then they started losing too. To shut me up, my cousin gave me his level 100 Typhlosion. Beat the rest of the game with it.
Still a tradition for me to name my characters after my Crystal protag in new games.

Earliest specific memory was probably watching Pikachu's Goodbye on VHS
I mean, I watched Johto Journeys religiously every morning before school, and watched some VHSs my parents got me before that, including the first episode, but that's the one that sticks out in my mind the most.
Cried like a bitch during it, too.
