shoutouts to that time when I legit got a gameboy classic while I was on holiday at like 16 and pokemon blue came out and I was like "pff pokemon that's for kids" while saving up my own money from my part time job, "there's no way this will catch on" whilst eagerly checking in to see if I could get a cheaper preowned copy of pokemon in the local Electronics Boutique store.
"it's just a silly fad hahaha" as I researched exactly what pokemon were in blue vs red to decide which to get
ALSO SHOUTOUTS TO THE TIME I LITERALLY WALKED IN AND BOUGHT A NEW COPY OF POKEMON BLUE INSTEAD OF A PREOWNED COPY WHILST TELLING MYSELF "psh I'm just getting this to see what all the fuss is about hahha"
AND THEN PLAYING IT FUCKIN' NON STOP FOR YEARS WITHOUT RESERVATION
