. . .

random fun fact of the day: this was a scrapped magic anon event for @fallenpkmntrainer.

leaf was going to be annoyed/frustrated at being the “secondary” mascot pokemon instead of being red’s equal by being a pikachu as well, haha. 

i couldn’t slip it in during the main run of the blog, because the other magic anons before it had a more serious tone i wanted to maintain. this more “cutesy” magic anon would have broken up the pacing that led to the blog’s finale.

[STORY SOURCE]

[Note: Due to the sheer size of this story and its image count, this story has been cut into two parts.]

I’m an old Pokémon fan who’s been into the games since around Gen 3, particularly LeafGreen and FireRed.

I’ve played the other iterations of Kanto, though. I got Yellow version as a hand-me-down first, but soon after, my heart replaced it with the shiny new GBA remake.

Between the two, I really feel like the Kanto experience peaked at LeafGreen and FireRed. Updated graphics, countless bug fixes, an entire postgame… But most importantly, I think, was the inclusion of a girl character option.

I remember feeling a little frustrated as a kid that Yellow didn’t let me play as a girl. That’s why I was so happy when I could finally play as someone who looked like me, it made me feel like I could really throw myself into the world of Pokémon.

Recently, I’d grown bored with my 3DS Pokémon games and wanted to relive the magical experience of Kanto and Johto all over again. I didn’t want to reset my old childhood games, though, so I turned to the wonders of eBay. Conveniently, someone was selling FireRed and HeartGold in a lot together for really, really cheap.

Of course I was suspicious; the seller seemed to have made an eBay account JUST to sell these carts, and authentic carts were obviously worth way more.

But since I just wanted to briefly play through for nostalgia, I decided getting a couple bootlegs was no skin off my nose.

And boy did I ever get an interesting pair of bootlegs.

“Goodbye, my oldest enemy.”

i dunno if i’ll have the energy to finish this so i’m posting it as is for now, haha this is fallen leaf stuff, so if you haven’t yet you should go read that pokepasta and its sequel ask blog to understand the dynamic between leaf/red here.

this is fallen leaf adjacent, but not necessarily canon.

a bit of explanation for the video under the cut -

EDIT: This post has been modified from its initial text to provide more evidence that thesmbxgamer1 has been obsessively stalking my content via multiple social media platforms in order to engage with my content and story.

This is PSA to all other blogs that have interacted with mine via IC ask.

TLDR: There is a very persistent asker who I have blocked that is trying to send asks about my blog and storyline to other blogs, typically whenever Red became a more active presence in the story.

I strongly urge all blogs who have interacted with mine to block all anonymous questions concerning the events of my story, as they are all very likely from this stalker.

Details under the cut.

Due to the severity of this situation, I will be disabling anonymous questions indefinitely and will be doing all that I can to end this plot event as soon as possible.
