I don't like talking about myself so i will try to go directly to the point.
My cousin had like 40494948 gbcs (pretty sure ze traded with itself) and yahy had 0 gbcs, so i stole one without any games. Then i gave it back just to steal another one with pokémon blue. I kicked the hell out of the league while 5~6 year old (it took a while tho). By this time mamma purchased a TV and i really liked the anime (pretty sure it was Hoenn anime, cause May is my fav till now). Welp, i ended up being caught and my cousin just started sharing zes things with me for apparently no reason. So i did the rest of the gen 1 games, played some gen 2 (Johto is still my fav nowadays). I don't wanna talk about the rest.
Welp, what makes me really like this games is the feeling i get towards both my pokémon and the NPC's. For some reason, i feel like they are part of me and i'm part of them. Even tho they're AI's but y'know what i mean. That's silly after all lol.
