>we play until I'm called in
>when I come out the kid is gone
I never got his name, but hopefully playing some Pokemon made him a little less nervous for his doctor's visit. Also I hope he manage to get passed Fantina and beat the game.

I believe you anon. Something similar happened to me, I got a shiny Klink in a copy of White 2 that I lost. After I bought another copy, I found ANOTHER shiny Klink in the same place.

You're a nice guy. Too bad kids where I live don't usually have handhelds because they're too expensive, otherwise I'm sure I'd had a lot of fun playing with my little cousins
>>31451612
Mirror Coat is a minus priority move. You would have never seen that textbox
Aura Sphere never misses

Help... please help
My first game was gold, but the cartridge was broken so I couldn't save, and had to finish the game on one set of batteries. I never really enjoyed that game, because I never had time to experiment enough..
