I discovered Pokemon many, many years ago.
A morning cartoon show by the name of Cheez TV I believe played it one morning, quite unexpectedly.
And I watched. And decided I liked. So I continued to watch.
I then eventually found out there was a game.
And I HAD to have it.
That Christmas I got a brand new (at the time) Gameboy Color and a copy of Pokemon Blue.
My brother got the same except Pokemon Red.
We also got the link cable and that just was the icing on the already sweet cake.

This game lasted longer then any other I had played.
We played for years and years constantly trying to out do one another. Maxing out our Pokemon's levels and trying to catch them all. I never succeeded in this, but I aided my brother in doing so which was quite an achievement all the same I think.

In anycase, one day he went to play Pokemon as we do and it errored.. His game was gone.
This was a kick in the head. A major blow.
We only had recently got Mew at a Pokemon tour of sorts as well. It was bad. He never picked up Pokemon since.
I tried to play, but found it not quite so fun without someone else to battle, trade with and just generally discuss it with.

Our interest in the show died about this time too.
Years later we haven't touched it.
But recently I've had the urge to grab my balls (of the poke variety you freaks) and play again.

I picked up Mystery Dungeon Red and it's awesome.
I'm waiting on Pearl and Diamond to come out.
My brothers also interested in it, so it'll be good.
But cause it's online even if he ain't I won't lose interest due to lack of players. So great.

In the mean time Pokemon Dungeon tis adequet.

I've also had the rather strange urge to watch the show again.
Though I'm aware of missed out on probably hundreds and hundreds of episodes. See if I can pick some up on dvd.

Yes. I am 19 years old. And I'm a Pokemon Fan.
DEAL. XO
