>>31356028Here's mine when I was a kid who didn't know about the mechanics of Pokémon then.
>Completely forgot what I had in my team in Emerald. I was a 3rd Grader then.>Facing Wallace in Emerald for Champion title.>Wallace has 4 Pokémons left.>Double Team Ludicolo nearly sweeps my team.>I'm down to two Pokémon.>Chooses Blaziken at level 59 Lax Nature w/Quick Claw over my better choice, Manecitric>Because I didn't have any effective moves against Water types, I spammed Double Kick and throughout the entire match.>Takes down Ludicolo, Tentacruel, and Milotic with Double Kick>Finally makes Wallace go down to his last Pokémon>It's fucking Gyarados!>Switches to level 49 Manectric hoping to Thunder him."Foe GYARADOS used EARTHQUAKE!"
"It's super effective!"
"MANECITRIC fainted!"
>Down to my last Pokémon, Blaziken"Foe GYARADOS used DRAGON DANCE!"
"Foe GYARADOS's ATTACK rose!"
"Foe GYARADOS's SPEED rose!"
>I've already SR'd 7 times against Wallace and his D-Dance Gyarados. I've already cried multiple times because I couldn't beat him those said times!>Legit praying to God to let me win and become Champion of Hoenn!"Foe GYARADOS used EARTHQUAKE!"
>Blaziken manages to hold its HP by a thread."It's super effective!"
"BLAZIKEN used DOUBLE KICK!"
"It's not very effective..."
"Hit 2 time
!"
"Foe GYARADOS fainted!
Started screaming like a little girl in tears of joy saying "YES, YES, FINALLY, YES, THANK YOU!"
After entering the Hall of Fame, I continued to look at my GBA screen and watched the credits roll, still shredding tears while listening to the credits music.
It. Felt. So. Fucking. Great!
To this day, Blaziken remains as my first chosen Starter and my absolute unlisted favorite Starter and overall Pokémon to this day!
