5 years old either cruising with my dad in his doge or my moms Toyota Tercel (Manual). Blasting to radio Disney, Listening to the back street boys or something. Probably playing the original Gameboy next to the window for light.

So here I am, doing everything I can holding on to what I am, pretending Im a superman!

Junior in HS way to addicted to mirc

I was 4.

lying in a hospital to get my heart fixed [spoiler] while playing pokemon yellow[/spoiler]

The last good hear of my life. The summer of 1999 was truly amazing. I spent time with my cousins when we were still close. In December of '99 I lost my grandmother and aunt within weeks of each other. Our family was forced to relocate. I went through three schools for sixth grade, and middle school became hell.

1999 was the last time I remember being genuinely happy. Pokemon was a huge part of that happiness.

5th grade trading Pokemon cards in a huge huddle of kids outside the playground doors at recess.

Coming home and playing N64 still I was forced to go to bed.

Thinking lewd thoughts about my neighbor friend.

Being 15.

>your kids will become addicted to pokemon!
>Here do this to get lower prices on your legal drugs, goyim.

Aw fuck senpai waddup

No timestamp because I'm at the park playing Pokemon Go, take my white hand instead

Man I fucking miss the good days

...

lol, I emulated that shit. I can't remember what emulator it was I used at the time.
Never had a Gameboy growing up (but had everything else) so the idea of emulation at the time was fucking amazing.
When I first played Super Mario Land 2 that year as well I was amazed, I couldn't believe I'd missed out on a fucking great Mario game.

I was 18.
We'd pile into a car and cruise this one main boulevard that all the other teenagers would cruise. Muscle cars and Japanese cars were streetracing all the time, cars full of girls were out looking for guys.
Cars were bumping Blink 182, Dream, NSYNC, Dr Dre, and early Eminem
There were a few restaurants that'd be packed full of our age group on friday and saturday nights along this road.
The only thing we worried about was getting a speeding ticket or getting caught street racing.
High school was easy, lighthearted, and worry-free aside from the typical clique rivalry BS.

Then the Columbine shooting happened in April and that made everyone leery of that stereotype, but beyond that, the summer was fun and I remember just trying to get girls numbers and hook up with them. I did get lucky a couple of times.

Those were the days.

Missing the best years of American history because I was only fucking eight.

I was 11 and I was so obsessed with the Pokeymans, that I ordered the Japanese versions of Blue, Green, Red, and the Pikachu version and that Japanese Gameboy version of the card game.

As if that weren't bad enough, the year before, I skipped like 4 out of the 10 months of the 4th grade school year to stay home and play Pokeymans and Square RPGs

Good God, I was fucking obsessed. Then whenever Gold and Silver were released, I played them for around 20 minutes, decided it was too different and just said "Fuck it" and never looked back.

They were fun fucking times, though. Back when AOL was the shit and Anipike.com was the go-to site for anime shit. I still remember emailing and falling in puppy love with a girl who ran a Pokemon site I found on Anipike. We used to email and IM all fucking day and night during the summer. I still remember her site was called "Digital; Burakkii" (Burakkii being the Japanese name of Umbreon)

I'll never forget us watching Saturday Night Live at the same time and quoting what we just heard to each other on IM and laughing our asses off.

Goddamn it, I used to be so happy.

Have you had to change the battery yet?

>1999 was 17 years ago

mah nigga

I've got the same gameboy colour!

Dude gold and silver were the best.

I loved how you could access the old world and all so cool

the game has age poorly. the remake is good though.

Being born

The year the best Mod came out. young fags will never know how fun a Online multiplayer game was compared to today's shit.

I wondered this, but the spiral works for their narrative.

'This game is hypnotising your children'.

Noice

>I fucking miss the good old days

Me too. That duel/trade cable's been idle for a long while...

Dodging NATO bombs

Playing my older brother's NES

I was four

>We will never experience the lightheartedness and general happiness of the 90s/Early 2000's

This is such a heavy feel guys

The April Fools jokes for the old CS mod were the greatest. The yogurt squirter weapon was the greatest idea.

>You forgot flying into a murderous rage when someone answered the phone and you got disconnected

3 years old, at the time that magazine was released. Living in a ~600ft^2 house in Los Angeles.

Why do you ask?

Being a stupid teenager because I didn't have a care in the world.

Waiting for THE HAPPENING

>mfw people don't remember Y2K

Stealing shit from Walmart and selling it to people at highschool. Also dling psx games using hotline connect. Good times.

/vp/ was asking this a few days ago. Poliwhirl was prominent in alot of gen 1 promo stuff, though. Even the burger king gold cards had a poliwhirl.

being raise by a single mom

it turned out bad seeing how im on this site everyday

Thats odd. Was Poliwhirl a big deal in the cartoon?

You would think they would go with Staryu instead.

call her, she misses you.

daycare lol

I was a sophomore in college

nope. he was just big in early promo shit.

Charizard, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Poliwhirl, mewtwo...you'd see them everywhere.

Kindergarten playing nintendo and going outdoors playing army
Those were the fucking times

Never got into Pokemon. Digimon was better, anyway.

I had a Urinary Tract Infection while playing Donkey Kong 64 waiting for Y2K with family that night. Good times. Now I feel sad. Fuck this thread everyone.

Idk I was a second grader, playing pokemon probably

These fucking faggot kids running in and out of stores. They don't know shit about collecting Pokemon. Pic related.

>Australia has gotten worse and worse since.
