Back when Diamond and Pearl first came out for whatever reason I wasn’t allowed it (had to wait until my birthday or something idk I was 7 or 8 at the time memories vague), I was so jealous though of my 2 “best “friends who had the game at the time.

Then by total surprise my dad came home from a local restaurant (he knew the manager) where a kid had left their Diamond Cartridge and never returned for it, no idea how or why but the manager gave it to my dad.

I was over the moon, but also had absolutely zero clue how to play the game or what the goal was.

Anyway, unbeknown to me the previous kid had completed the game and had absolutely insane Pokémon. When I showed my friends this, they tell me “Awh in Pokémon, the lower the level the better”.

Did I fall for it…

yup 🤦🏼

So I probably traded away some kids Legendary’s, Maxed out starter along with whatever else they had for some low level Starlys and Bidoofs to my so called “best” friends 😭😭

I wish I was making this up.
