She got this game in Spring 2016, played it a little over three days, beat a Buizel at night on day two, and gave up after beating Gardenia. Her team includes a level 22 Monferno, a level 20 Staravia, a level 10 machop, a level 20 Luxio, and a level 8 Buneary and Pachirisu just there to look cute. Poketch is set to the team viewer app that tells you the HP of each Pokemon. I always kept it on the clock because I liked how it looked, only changing apps when I needed them.
Just like me, she set the clock several hours ahead, but unlike me, she didn't have any Dark Balls. She had ten Pokeballs, one net ball, and one premier ball. Fairly standard items pocket, except for the 10 honey items she probably had no idea how to use.
The only Pokemon in her PC? Another starly and a magikarp. The rod was registered. She'd never connected to WFC, gotten a friend code, or had a single Pokemon battle.
I don't know what I expected when I put this game in, but I feel... sad. This girl never knew the joy of completing this game. She gave up.

Unless it was a much older game and this was just a reset

This. Stacy most likely bought it second hand from someone else who'd played it heaps.

Because WFC was gone by then.

Did you play on and raise her team?

>>33307003
this, it makes sense to just restart old games for fun

I posted this in a different thread but it's more applicable here.
Why the fuck are they selling pokemon in burgerland at nearly fully price? Pokemon plat was two dollars more expensive used than sun and moon brand new on the shelf ($40).
Diamond and pearl were both $35. What the fuck. This wasn't even at gamestop.

Pokemon games are very expensive even used. Pokemon continues to be an enduring and extremely popular franchise.
May God bless your soul if you ever want to find a copy of HG or SS.

I bought a second hand Platinum online and shit turned out to be a fake reproduction cart.
It works and saves fine, but I was pretty pissed as I already have a flashcart for pirating.
It's done really well though, the outside of the case is very authentic, it's only when you actually open it that it becomes obvious.

I have a near mint SoulSilver with the Pokewalker included, big box and all. I have sold most of my DS and even 3DS collection after I moved, but SS is one of those games that I won't sell.

I bought a second hand ruby when I was a kid that had rare shit like Tyranitar and Zapdos on it but deleted the save because I was dumb enough to think that if you name your character ASH you get a free Celebi. Still kicking myself over it years later.
