My Favorite Pokemon as a kid was always Squirtle, I always named him Squirter, Not knowing anything about how ****** it sounded with my 7 year old mind, I was always in the backseat of the car saying things like, oh no Squirter died, or yes my squirter learned hydro pump! and my favorite, Iβm gunna give my Squirter one rare candy.
I always caught girl Pokemon, Mainly because the symbol for the Gender looked unique to me.. So I would never catch Mewtwo because it was never a girl.
Once I learned you can cheat in Pokemon, I was getting ready for every gym leader like a high schooler preparing for Spanish Test. Pokemon levels the same number as the grades of the Spanish Test.
As time goes by you can realize pokemon can be like friends, you canβt catch them all, especially when their falling.
