As soon as eleven-year-old lovechild slipped that Pokemon Blue cartridge into their gray brick of a Gameboy, it was over! When the Pokemon TCG started taking off, I asked my mom for a few packs. However, she bought me a pack of cards that had screenshots from the tv series on one side and episode summaries on the back. She was only trying her best!

I wore my Drowzee earrings this weekend and got a lot of compliments. She’s my girl (I seem to only catch girl Drowzees in any game she appears).

Blue was my first too!!! our babysitter had the gameboy and game and we had to take turns. i was such a lil bitch i made my little cousin start a new game everytime so i could keep the save slot bc i was the oldest lmao

I was an only child and I got my charizard to an absurdly high level and still, somehow my save was deleted without an older family member that wanted to play lmao (I think my BFF deleted it lol because they were jealous of the one stupid thing i was good at xD but it's been over 20 years so idk at this point, maybe i am a little salty still lmaooo)

Who knew that Blue would be ONTD’s game of choice? (I played Blue, too.)

My first game was Red, which is surprising because my favorite color is blue.

That’s the only reason I picked Blue. It’s my favorite color. Vanity over Charizard.
