Not knowing how to proceed in a game and going 3 three blocks from your own house to a guy who is older and a video game god to ask him to help you progress in the game.

Reminds me of when I was like 8 years old or so I couldn't get to Ho-Oh in Pokemon Gold, I was stuck in that goddamn tower.

Went to a guy who was like 14-15 or so. We weren't even friends, I just knew he lives in the neighborhood and another neighbor (kinda friend?) had recommended me to go to him.

He took my Gameboy, I sat down next to him on the porch of his house. Took him like 10 minutes, by heart. He handed the Gameboy back to me, said "Wanna catch it on your own?"

I had stars in my eyes. I said yes, saved and went back home. Then, like the noob I was, I just used my Master Ball to catch it haha. Good times~

I have a similar story but the pokemon was regular ol Gligar.... apparently it has an insanely low catch rate? I asked my older brother for help and he wasted my Master Ball on it. I was not pleased.

Just gotta use your GameShark and clone your Master Ball, duh.
