When I was a kid I loved Pokemon games just like any other kid. It wasn't until I turned 19 that my whole life changed when I came across one Pokemon game in particular simply called Pokemon "HIS Game".

Although it wasn’t pleasant at first, it was full of new discoveries to figure out who I was. Moving to Texas from Ucon halfway through the 4th grade was nerve-racking.
