So when I was 16, my sister had Pokemon Crystal and it was my second playthrough. I had run into a shiny Sentret without knowing what they were. I realized a year later that I had RUN FROM A SHINY.

Recently, I got my hands on that cartridge again and apparently I BEAT THE WHOLE GAME WITHOUT SAVING since the beginning of the game. And guess what? It turns out that where I was in the game, I didn't have the ability to get pokeballs yet! I COULDN'T HAVE CAUGHT IT EVEN IF I KNEW WHAT IT WAS.

Ultra trolled.
