Pokemon for me, is a journey that started almost 20 years ago. When i first turned on Pokemon Red Version on a classic gameboy, i knew that nothing was going to be like this. And it wasn't. Fast forward to today and now I am a 26 year old father of 2 who is still very much a part of the journey. Only now i have my 6 year old son with me. Ever since he could pick up a nintendo ds he was playing pokemon. We shared a passion for it, and bonded over it. I helped him through the hard times and difficult caves and battles, and taught him patience and stratedy. We tune into AusLove.Tv on twitch together and wonder trade fish for shiny and rare pokemon and we managed to snag quite a few together. The joy I get when I see how excited he gets, is the same joy i got when i was his age. The only difference being time spent playing obviously. To say My PC boxes were impressive would be an understatement, for the mere fact that the pokemon contained in them go back to pokemon on the GBA. Every legendary, including their shiny counter parts, a shiny surf/fly pikachu and several legitimately trained level 100 pokemon. Every event pokemon. WiFi, and in-store giveaways.It took years of grinding, and lost sleep to accumulate what i had. I was, and will continue to be a collector. Despite what happened to me last night, on christmas night. My family and I had gone to my wife's parents for dinner. I decided to keep my son and I occupied on the bus ride there and back we would pack our 3DS'. Dinner went well, and gifts were exchanged. My son got a sled! We say our goodbyes, I retrieve our 3DS systems, and head out. At the bus stop, we see a small hill of snow and I decide that it would be a good spot to test out the sled. So my son rides down a couple time, and then our bus comes. We get home, and I go to get our games, however, his is there, but mine is gone. I back tracked all the way back to my wife's parents house, including up and down the hill my son took his sled with no luck. The system, the case with all my games, all the DLC are completely lost. My completed pokedex is gone.
What I am asking for:
NOT MONEY! I am really not asking for money. All I am asking for is for the true trainers who have come across this and read it, to show some mercy to a fallen master. To look through your boxes and banks and find anything you could spare and maybe send a friend code my way. This whole experience almost made me give up pokemon all together, but then I realized that it wasn't just about a video game. This is something that me and my son share. And its something a lot of fathers in this day in age will share with their children. I lost everything i had dating back to when i was about 12 years old when Pokemon Emerald was released for the GBA. I played through leaf green, soul silver, platinum, black and white, X and Y Omega Ruby, and now sun and moon. All those games and data and memories just gone like that. I hope that somebody out there can please help me regain even just a little of what i lost. Anything is appreciated. Thnak you.
Gotta catch'em all
