      Childhood Nintendo Switch

      This phrase is ageist.

      When we battled or traded Pokemon we had to hook up a USB sized 2 foot long cable between our gameboys and make sure not to jostle them even slightly or the game would drop. This of course meant you could unplug the cable at a certain point to duplicate your Pokemon during a trade. Now if you wanted to play in the dark your parent would have had to buy you a third party backlight peripheral that could drain a pair of AA batteries in about 12 seconds, which is what the gameboy ran on at the time. So to have a sleepover involving gen 1 and 2 (and more I dont think the gameboy advance had a backlight either) pokemon meant bringing a suitcase sized box of accessories and batteries and game cartridges.

      What does this have to do with forknife you ask? I don't know
