exactly 2000 of them

Today let’s talk about the past a bit for a change!
I’ve been lucky enough to live in the age of the first edition gameboy and pokemon, yes that huge gray brick made out of awesome that was almost impossible to break! The snotty fat kid with the bowl-cut was my greatest rival back then, he bought the game one week earlier than me and was always one step ahead… Thankfully he was an idiot so I managed to get to mewtwo first and challenged him to a battle without him knowing that I caught it. And so it started! The flow of the battle was on his side, he took out my gengar first,  for him it was just another easy victory but then I sent out my secret weapon! “It can’t be, it’s Mewtwo!” he said with awe, and so the tides changed, with mewtwo fighting like a hero most of his party was eliminated and so victory was mine.

A new king had risen in our small neighbourhood, and so I was the one everyone was targeting next. I lost two days after that. Then when everyone reached level 100 things balanced out quite a bit.

Pokemon was a great change for us, back then we would only play street fighter and mortal kombat on our gameboys, and honestly, it wasn’t as interesting, plus someone would pull the cable out because of the intense fighting moves…
