Lol ok so story time. The first pokemon game I ever played was pokemon silver. I chose totadile as my starter. I think I was 6 or seven at the time, but I remember that I loved my totadile. I named him Todd and every I went I too my game, and by extension, him with me. I didn't have a lot of friends growing up so Todd was one of my only friends(my substitution for an imaginary friend). When the next gen came out, I planned on making it a tradition in which I would trade Todd to the new pokemon game I was playing, so that I'd always have him with me. Unfortunately, I was only able to trade him up to emerald and I haven't been able to retrieve him from there. I still have the emerald cartridge in my drawer. Every time I feel sad or angry, I pick it up and I hold it cold, remembering all the good times I had with Todd.
