Breaking it down.
"I Was A Cannibal for the FBI" creator John Olsen. I saw that you'd done some walkthroughs for his work, and I have a friend who very much wants to speak with him regarding his games. If he isn't interested or doesn't want to be bothered, that's okay, though! Thought you may know him. :)

I am quite ready to play it myself. Yo... what if we set it up on webcam on Discord and ran a game together?
December 18, 2024 at 10:34 AM
I was poking fun because I just bought it too and made a post about it a while back!

You got it for a steal. I paid $150 for mine, complete aside from the instructions. Stateside, it goes for about $200 complete on the market.

They did! There are two sequels.
December 18, 2024 at 9:09 AM
Those games you're referring to are insanely valuable now. They're worth like 3x what Master Trainer is.
December 18, 2024 at 9:09 AM
Damn, I didn't mean to make you spend that money. My bad! What did your copy run you?

Absolutely understood and heard.

(2/2) because they had similar experiences and needs to cope in the past. For a lot of us, this series was our first RPG, which is inherently a personal genre. It might have been the first time a lot of us got to make choices in our lives. I wrote this in hopes that it could help you understand.
December 4, 2024 at 8:54 AM
(1/2) By the way, what inspired me to recount this was more than me crying about finally finding this game at a "reasonable" price and justifying the purchase, but more knowing how it made me feel.

If you have friends who are a little more than obsessed with the Pokémon franchise, it's probably
December 4, 2024 at 8:52 AM
they not purchased it, but those corporate strategists really had us in a chokehold and the franchise probably seemed like the only viable option for a classmate birthday party. I could have never been luckier for them to gauge my interests incorrectly. I can't wait to play it again. (17/17)
December 4, 2024 at 8:49 AM
to that nameless friend's parents who I can not remember that bought me the board game with the box showing every Pokémon in existence at that time, all but a small handful being seen for the first time and met soon after. I'm sure something else would have been in its place in my life had (16/?)
December 4, 2024 at 8:47 AM
and slept, I got to wake up knowing I could see my friends again, and that night, maybe I wouldn't try again. Maybe whatever came my way wouldn't be enough to take on my team. It's quite a coincidence that it took a beast in a shell to pull me out of mine! I owe the thanks for introductions (15/?)
December 4, 2024 at 8:42 AM
more than willpower. Many nights, I tried as hard as I could to hold my breath as long as I would so I didn't have to. It never worked. You'll always try to live. You must be much more cunning or quick for the body to not take over your survival. At least, once I tired myself out eventually (14/?)
December 4, 2024 at 8:37 AM
even if they claim to not have to. I couldn't always be with my Pokémon, and sometimes were harder than others. I began having suicidal ideation at a young age, and I don't believe I even knew what suicide was or that it was seen as taboo, or that you could even end your entirety with nothing (13/?)
December 4, 2024 at 8:33 AM
what home used to feel like. The sea was just open enough to breathe and the caves dark enough to hide. Every single location was filled with the unconditional love of the virtual pets who seemed as varied as the animals on earth, and I couldn't give it up. Coping is hard. Everyone knows this (12/?)
December 4, 2024 at 8:29 AM
making out that 8-bit screen didn't seem so tough after a while. Some days I could escape to a forest and cover myself in its wildness because I had control over it. Others, I'd visit a city and talk with everyone that wanted to see me that day. Visiting the smaller towns would remind me of (11/?)
December 4, 2024 at 8:24 AM
because the thing that didn't question my existence or confusion with growth was already there. It had a red LED, simple circuitry, and just enough gold on the contacts to make me feel rich. I recall many times, whether overwhelmed or scolded, I couldn't see through the tears in my eyes but (10/?)
December 4, 2024 at 8:20 AM
and nothing could change my faith. I'd never even considered the concept of obsession or knew how to identify it. I began to see parallels between my unhinged fondness for the game and how often my parents fought. I didn't need to be told to go to my room or asked to leave the one I was in (9/?)
December 4, 2024 at 8:16 AM
told us we needed a Game Boy. I was defeated. But, my mom knew. They had one, Atomic Purple. They had batteries. I was set. We left the mall. I could not contain myself. We had to get home as soon as possible so I could learn everything there was to know about Pokémon. This was my religion now (8/?)
December 4, 2024 at 8:09 AM
was a blue turtle with massive cannons protruding from his back aimed directly at my wonder of the unknown. That was it. No more gawking over the N64. No more secret levels in Super Mario World, that was dad's game anyway. Pokémon could be mine. I told my mom. She told the clerk. The clerk (7/?)
December 4, 2024 at 8:04 AM
seen before. Two actually. One was a fierce-eyed orange dragon, glaring into the distance past the glass and clerk and into the racks of clothes, or even further maybe, towards the housewares. The other, with a wide, spread, dynamic stance planting its feet in the ground and eyes into my soul (6/?)
December 4, 2024 at 8:01 AM
retrieved me to take me to the counter. There was a box behind the sliding glass, it had the same logo my still-wrapped board game had, and the one on the back of my Zubat, and the one I saw in class just before I saw Hitmonchan for the first time... and there was another new monster I hadn't (5/?)
December 4, 2024 at 7:57 AM
brought home after buying it from a work friend. As much as I loved Super Mario World and Street Fighter 2, I couldn't believe their friends could be rendered in 3D. Before I became entirely absorbed by the light coming through the dust of the CRT screen in that unmanned department, my mom (4/?)
