Started a Pokémon FireRed playthrough on the Switch and chose Squirtle, my least-used Kanto starter.
Named him Dux (Doo-x), after my oldest dog. He’s still with me, but in his golden years. Wanted his spirit along for one more adventure. 🐢💙

Who did you pick? Did you nickname them?
It looks like a mistake. Until you step on it.
Stunfisk doesn’t chase. It waits.
It doesn’t panic under pressure, it becomes it.
This is a story about patience, boundaries, and what pressure turns you into.

I loved Nemona in Scarlet & Violet. That fiery “let’s battle again” energy never got old.
Got this card at a convention for subscribing to someone’s YouTube channel. Easiest trade ever.
I see a little of myself in her.

I didn’t even know what Legendary Collection was.
I just wanted to open a pack of Pokémon cards.
Then I pulled a reverse holo Fearow,
an old card, reborn a a reverse holo.
I still have it in my binder.
Moments like that never really leave us.

Vulpix starts with one white tail.
What it becomes depends on the world around it.
Fire or frost.
Alone or together.
Memory or reverence.
This Safari Ball field guide explores Vulpix and Ninetales as a story about environment, love, and choice.

Found it at work.
Next to the fruit in the cooler.
Just sitting there.
Like a wild Pokémon encounter in real life.
Lotad looked cold, so I brought it home.
Now it has a story, too.

I got it because it said “Cool.”
That was it.
No rare pull, no epic moment, just a name that made me smile.
Still makes me smile.
Still cool.

But the stories aren’t finished.

I traded a bunch of holographics for this Koffing.
I didn’t know how common it was. I just knew I’d never seen one.
It felt rare.
It felt like a treasure.
It wasn’t a smart trade, but it was full of wonder.

I didn’t have any other Dragonair card,
so this one always stood in.
I’d stare at the lightning and the crystals,
like it was choosing to change its story.
Maybe it’s called “Dark” because the truth can be scary.
But telling mine finally set me free.

This episode isn’t an interview.
It’s my Pokémon story.

The survival.
The healing.
From Red & Blue ➝ Pokémon GO ➝ choosing “one more time.”

At a Pokemon event, I was a vendor and someone asked my favorite Pokémon.
I said Corviknight.
He smiled, reached into his binder, and gave me this card.
No trade. No price. Just kindness.
Moments like that?
They’re why I love Pokemon.

I’ve always resonated with Mimikyu.
Lonely, hidden, trying to be loved.
But this promo?
It looks happy. Loved, even.
I loved it so much, I bought it twice without realizing.
Oops.
Some cards just speak to your heart.

This Aerodactyl felt ancient like it came straight from a forgotten jungle.
I went to pay.
The vendor handed it to me for free.
It was only $2, but it meant more.
Not every card needs to be a chase.
Some just make you feel something.

I found this card damaged and creased, but I loved the art. I made an offer.
The vendor raised the price way too high.
I declined and walked away.
Lugia reminded me to see the value in what's tossed aside.
But don’t let anyone sell you short.

Say it with me: BRING BACK CHONKY PIKACHU.
The yellow’s faded, the body’s squishy...and I just now noticed the tree in the background.
That’s the magic of classic cards, you keep noticing new things.
I gave mine to my cousin once.
He ate it.

100 damage. Burned into my brain.
It might’ve been the weakest of the three starters in the TCG, but it felt like power.
Even now, I’ve got a foiled-up one, a PSA “You Tried.”
But as a kid? This was the dream.
You can’t beat a classic.
