No one fucking complained about having "nothing to do" because every single day on the playground was an infinite cornucopia of link battles and trades waiting to happen, with everyone and their brother eager to assert themselves as the Pokemon Master of the town by whooping everyone's asses.
The kid who conquered the current known best, especially without using overpowered bullshit like Mewtwo, was regarded as an utter goddamned legend, and next thing he knew he was getting swamped with everyone else wanting to dethrone him before he could even have a minute of glory.
