when i got my first heart attack as a kid while playing pokemon crystal

Legendary beasts are awesome. Back when legendaries were legendary. Now there’s a lot of them.

Those were the situations you wanted to run into and got excited about, what memories!

i was afraid so much as a kid hahah

That's no HootHoot....

Fun fact: the terrible gen 2 movesets and the lack of a physical/ special split actually mean that Flareon is more viable in a gen 2 play through than Entei

I ran straight to my cousin who was playing as well and was like this is nuts

No way this real lol. Sing worked first attempt and he stayed asleep that long and you caught with single ultra ball on yellow hp? Crazy if true

The off-key encounter music immediately makes you think that the game broke.

Pokemon Crystal gave me a heart attack and my portfolio does the same thing every morning

The good ole days

The immediate stress and horror to hear this music while not being prepared. Even if I was prepared, I still felt stressed and horrified haha

Butterflies in my stomach

*Wild legendary appears.* *Pokemon uses Mean look* *Legendary uses Roar.* *Your Pokemon fled.*

Man this was the game I saw my first shiny pokemon. It was a caterpie. Then the gameboy died right after it sparkled 🥲

That Pokémon is named Wimbledon

I knew I was in trouble when it didn't play the typical Pokemon encounter music. I caught Entei and Raikou with believe it or not Hypno.

the lake route to cianwood is where i learned that grinding is just grief you can walk off

Me están entrando unas ganas de jugar por milésima vez jajqja

Confusing a legendary is a risky strategy

I still remember back on Silver, my Pupitar was 2 EXP points away from evolving into Tyranitar. I thought "Fuck it, I want to evolve it against a level 2 Pidgey'' I fly to New Bark Town, take three steps into the tall grass: a wild Suicune appeared!

I remember that G/S just used the default wild encounter music for those. Discovering the sudden new melody on Crystal out of the blue had to be such an experience.

Oh, Jynx, the queen you are!

Playing this game when i was 12yrs old😭

Never caught one of them 😭and I was so disappointed about it. I even tried following them on the map

Textbook play and execution by Jynx lmao

He’s a good fellow entei I do like him

So you were casually playing a rom in early 2000’s and recorded this? Yeah ok

Lol same, just when you least expect them to appear.

Encounter-Music is cooking!

That legendary theme was really something else......

Chasing these bastards around the map using the Pokédex was ridiculously tedious but I loved it

懐かしです😊　私もクリスタルプレイで 主人公が女の子ができたとき驚きです

As a kid you knew to use mean look lol
