![]() I knew it was probably just a hacking error.so why did I feel so freaked out?įor quite a bit of time, there was nothing but straight path. I swallowed roughly, my hands shaking a little. ![]() As my character walked, her footsteps echoed loudly on the stone floor, the noise only emphasizing the silence. Yet, I couldn't shake this odd, nervous feeling. I figured that since the cave was hacked in, though, the programmer had just forgotten to add the sound. As I entered, it was completely silent.there was something almost foreboding about it. The first thing that struck me was the music. My hope was that everything would be alright as long as I didn't save in the cave. After all, it could have something cool inside. It could also explain the corrupted save data, too, if the area wasn't well programmed. Perhaps this game was hacked? That seemed like the only logical explanation. I opened my map and, strangely enough, the area didn't show up. It was a cave that I didn't remember being there before, right on the edge of the Route 3. Once they let me over to Kanto, I easily beat the first gym, though on my way to the second, I found something kind of weird. I played the game for about a week and a half, getting all of the badges in Johto and defeating the Elite Four without much of a problem. The opening cinematic played as it normally did and I started my adventure, choosing Cyndaquil as my starter. With that, I pressed in that needlessly complicated code to wipe the other person's file and started a new game.Įverything seemed alright. What if there was something wrong with the game's internal battery? I figured I'd test it after playing for a little while and return the game if I needed to. Unfortunately, though, it seemed like the file was corrupted. ![]() I once found an Arceus in someone's save file and used my friend's DS to trade it over to my copy of Black. Sometimes you could find real gems in there. Upon loading it up, I saw that there was a file already saved and out of curiosity, I opened it to see what the other person had done and what kind of Pokemon they had. I had gotten used copies of games before that wouldn't start or had sound glitches and that sort of thing. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, thankfully. Once I got home, I headed up to my room and popped SoulSilver in. I paid for them without any problems and left the store. They had both Diamond and SoulSilver, slightly used, but supposedly still in good shape. They usually had a bunch of used games in a case near the front, so it hopefully wouldn't be too much of a problem. Since I had a little extra money from work, I decided to head over to my local game store and see if they had any replacements, though finding Pearl, Platinum, or SoulSilver would be just as good. It didn't help that the cartridges were so tiny, either. Being a slob really did have its disadvantages sometimes. Though I remember having copies of Diamond and HeartGold somewhere, I couldn't find them. After a while, I shut off my DS and decided to look around. As I sat there, EXP farming the elite four like I often did to raise my lower leveled Pokemon, I vaguely wondered if I had any other versions lying around my room. I had been playing nothing but fifth gen for a while and craved something new. With my copy of X already preordered, I was pretty excited about the entire thing. I was playing my copy of Black, like I usually did on lazy Saturday afternoons. It all started about a month before the release of X and Y. Well, you don't really want to hear about all that, do you? I have a story to tell and I'm pretty sure you're all much more interested in that than what I did when I was a kid. Regardless, I soon was one of the only people in my nerdy little group of buddies that still played the games. After all, every gen had its own share of lame designs. Most of them complained about the new games lacking originality when it came to the designs of the Pokemon, but I never shared their thoughts. Yet, as we grew older and the newer generations of the game came out, my friends started to lose interest. We always had a lot of fun with it, trading, battling, even sharing tips with one another on how to get the most out of the experience. As a nerdy sort of kid who grew up in the late nineties, it was one of the staples of my childhood, a game that I could always get together with my friends and play. This wasn't made by me the poem was made by amazing anon and I copied it fromĪh.Pokemon.
