A few days back, or maybe a bit longer I don’t know but I was talking about how I was really keen to play The Sims again, well I turned it on and pretty much turned it off straight away, I really wasn’t having any fun at all and yeah. It was sometime today when I decided that I really wanted to play Pokémon, and it wasn’t just me, Andrew actually wanted to come over so we could crank the shit out if it and just sit there all night playing Pokémon. I remembered that I had Pokémon Silver but the game was all fucked and corrupted, you could play it but you just couldn’t save it so I would have to play it and never turn it off, which would be fairly shit and it would waste a fuck load of batteries. Andrew said that he had a few spare Gold Versions which I was pretty satisfied with, I mean Silver was way better, but I could settle for Gold if I had to.
After searching his house for quite some time, we came across two copies of Gold, and I was bloody ecstatic. We rushed to mine to get right into it and have a mad Pokémon session which started with Andrew taking a shit whilst playing his version of Gold. I soon discovered that the other Gold didn’t work and it had the same problem that my Silver did, so I was fairly devastated. I looked through my draw and discovered that I had Pokémon Crystal, which is like Gold and Silver but just better, and I was so happy, I mean I didn’t even know I had that game, it made me so happy. Tom Wilkin soon came with his GameBoy and his Pokémon Gold and it was when this happened that I knew it would be an amazing night, I mean I just saw us up all night playing Pokémon, and it was just going to be amazing.
Before we all got too into it we decided to check if all our versions work, so we all picked a different starting Pokémon so that we could all swap and uncover the whole PokéDex and all that, and after we did that we saved the game, and then turned off our GameBoys and turned them back on. As we loaded back the games, I remembered when I got Crystal and how happy I was, but then I put it in and it didn’t work. I was afraid that it wouldn’t work but as it loaded the main menu, I clicked on continue and it loaded, and I was so happy. I look over at Tom and his face was so happy, then I look at his screen and his game has loaded, then I look over at Andrew only to see sadness on his face, he looks back up and even before he said anything, I knew that his game was corrupted. Tom and I laugh at him, but before we could even get up to the first gym leader Tom’s game froze and corrupted, he was so angry and it just left me playing my Crystal version, and I was so happy. I remember when I played Pokémon as a kid I always used to name my rival something funny, something rude. It never got old knowing that every now and again, someone with a rather vulgar or inappropriate name would want to battle. This time around, wait hold on, ARSEFUK wants to battle...
Tom was lying on my bed playing The Sims on my laptop as this character that he made that looked like Barack Obama and Andrew was playing Flight Control on Tom’s iPhone. I was so happy that I didn’t have Gold or Silver and I was playing Crystal because obviously Gold and Silver, although great games, were just poorly made or something because pretty much everyone’s in the world are corrupted or fucked in some way. Mum then walked in and said that she was going to bed and we could go into the other room, so I saved my game, turned off my GameBoy and walked over to the living room or TV room as we call it.
I turned back my GameBoy pumped as all hell to play Pokémon again, I was thinking about how awesome it will be when I get all two hundred and fifty Pokémon in the game. I have never caught all the Pokémon in any Pokémon game before, and I just had that feeling that I would this time because I was so into it, even though I had only been playing for like two hours. I skip past the opening scenes and load up the game, click continue to find myself reading a message that read ‘The save file is corrupted!’ and then that little flashing arrow pointing down, indicating that there would be more to read when I press A, so I pressed A and then it just went back to that screen where it says continue, new game or option. I click continue again and the same message comes up. I didn’t want to tell them that my game had fucked up because it would just be too embarrassing, I mean I really made it sound like I had the best version of the game in the world, the only one that wouldn’t corrupt and then, it just died, just like that.
I looked up at Tom and Andrew and just said, ever so casually, ‘yeah, my game corrupted,’ and they just started laughing. They hadn’t gotten as into it as I had, I had already gotten the first badge and I was carving the shit out of those fisherman on route thirty one or wherever I was, I was so into it and just like that, it fucks up. I don’t know what kind of sick person would release a game that just fucks up like that, they didn’t seem too annoyed by it all but as much as I tried to stay calm, I was so angry... fucking Pokémon...
