Sure, there was a time that I loved Pokemon.
Then there was a time that I eat, breethe, and sleep Pokemon.
Even worse, there was a time that I despised Pokemon.
Sad eh?
So hence, I present a true short story about my history with Pokemon.
****
Once upon a time, in the year 1998, I was 12 years old. All the middle schoolers in my middle school despised Pokemon, but I loved it courtesy of my (at the time) 1st grade brother.
My bro and I had Red, Blue, and Yellow. We just loved it so much.
Years past, and with the childhood obsession that defined a generation came and gone, so did our obsession.
****
It was in late 2005 where my bro and I decided to rejump on the Pokemon Band Wagon. We got Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness, Ruby, and Sapphire.
My bro slowly pulled away once again, but I still kept on it until a few days ago. I joined this forum, I got two Mytery Dungeon Games, Emerald, Pokemon Stadium, Pokemon Collesium, Fire Red, Leaf Green, Pokemon Battle Revolution, Pearl, Diamond, and Silver (maybe more than those). I even formed a three person Pokemon fan club in my college years.
****
There's the short version for you. Through out those years between 1998 and now, I went through what I called "Pokemon phases" There were times I hated it to the point of selling a couple Pokemon Games here and there. There were also times I was so paranoid of hacked Pokemon because I wanted to go professional. There were times I just wanted to be a casual Pokemon Trainer.
****
Now, it's December 26th 2008. Systems got more complex and technological. 10 years has past since our innocent days, and now, my bro is a greatly mature 15 years old. I am 22. My bro wanted to sell some games to get more games for his PS3, Wii, and XBox360. He gave me an evil glare as we stared at the remaining Pokemon games. He got mad, and I mean FURIOUS! It was due to the fact of the Pokemon games we knew he KNEW I was going to want to get again once sold.
Does money grow on trees? I beleive NOT! It is these "Pokemon phases" that upset me greatly. He claims that I only buy Pokemon games because it has "Pokemon" in it. Well, he's right. I wouldn't deny such a thing. The fact that now, I can't decide what to do with them for me life annoys me greatly.
****
I apoligize. I think typing out these feelings really helped me out. I needed to just pour them out. But why you may ask? It's only a video-game. It's also a great rpg of epic proportions. However, let's just emphasize the fact that it really is JUST a video-game. These phases are getting old. I just want to rid my body and spirit of everything Pokemon right now due to money, and uh...moodiness? Let's go with that.
****
So now I ask you, the reader, a great question.
WHAT TO DO NOW?
