Wait, the jirachi thing was legit? I thought that was just another rumor like the rocket taking you to space after 100 launches or something in rse.
Me, my sister, and one of our best friends growing up played it a lot, it was cool having a pet pikachu to hang out with and it was a fun time waster, definitely barely counts as a game, probably about as much as a visual novel does, but good for what it was. I can still answer almost every question from memory without even reading the question, there was a point where I bet my group that I could sit facing away from the tv and answer every question just from the hearing which pokemon they had pikachu talk to, and if I ever got one wrong I agreed they could split my entire tcg collection. Sure most of them aren't particularly hard unless you knew absolutely nothing about the pokemon but they probably figured just from the sheer number I'd miss one eventually, but in over five years of that I never did. It hasn't come up in years but I'm still fairly confident I could still do it.
