>No idea what this game is or what it's about
>Mash A through most of the starting screens, not caring for the info
>Now find myself in a house
>Head downstairs, but have no idea how to exit
>Spend a few days periodically trying to figure out how to beat this house game

>"Bring on next level please"
>Realize there's a whole lot more to this Leaf game than I had previously anticipated

>Get Charmander, beat Rival, and do other shit through God's grace until I arrive in Viridian City
>"The fuck is an Oak's parcel?"

>"The fuck does this even mean?"
>I never looked in my party, but for some reason thought this was the key to getting into that locked building in Viridian City
