>>56346355Treecko in Sapphire, it's a very vivid memory because it was the first video game I ever owned for myself instead of just borrowing from my dad's collection. I asked for Pokémon cards for my birthday and my dad surprised me with a GBA and Pokémon Sapphire instead. I begged him for nickname advice when Prof. Birch asked, and my dad's only input was "I dunno, he kind of looks like a Sam to me."
Sam the Sceptile was later erased from existence when my brother stayed home sick from school and started a new game. When I came home I was horrified to find myself in Oldale Town with a Lv5 Mudkip named Fleas.
