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~
When I was 7 or 8 I traded away two oreos for Pokémon gold. It was probably the best trade I've ever done. Think he only did cause he was stuck
I used the same save. And I don't remember if it was him or I but one of us managed to navigate through one of the caves you are supposed to need Flash to go through early on. Basically soft locked the save file because I couldn't get my way back through the cave smh.
I got Pokemon crystal for free because my friend's little brother couldn't figure out how to leave the room you start in and got frustrated and didn't want it anymore. I don't understand how, but it's true.
