Nowadays I am a 180° from what I was before: Stopped playing videogames, joined the gym a couple years back and got fit, successful, became a womanizer, and really charismatic. Learned how to play guitar (and am talented at it), learned how to cook, learned how to be the best me.

>Pokemon sun comes out
>buy it because I heard you can get chikorita so why not
>my starter is ElMachoTigre (nickname I gave my Incineroar)
>get a chikorita
>the adventures of Macho Man, his new Macho Tiger and his Beloved Dino Pear Companion begin once again
Nobody knows I like and play pokemon though, and I prefer it that way

How about you?
