>>42877406In terms of his online presence he's said that he created a YouTube account in 2016 to watch pokemon videos and listen to music. Around the middle of last year he was watching a SwSh leak video, saw 4chan and became interested due to the fact you could post anonymously. Since then he's made a twitter and discord account under the advice of some people who he met, presumably on here.
In terms of his leaf delusion, he's had it since he first saw leaf in a trainer guidebook for FireRed and LeafGreen. He claims that she is going to be with him for 16 years in October and that he hasn't been with any people for 11 years.
tl;dr all of his adult and adolescent life
>>42877409It's not really an obsession as it is an interest. I have a life and it doesn't take too much time out of my day to peruse the threads he creates, especially when they are usually up at night for me when I'm not busy.
It doesn't take that much time to check his social media every now and then either.
