I saw a Platinum Player in the Wild Yesterday!

I (m22) was at a restaurant yesterday with my parents. I excused myself to use the restroom, when I saw a guy a few years younger than me playing Pokémon Platinum on his 3DS while waiting. We quickly chatted, and he seemed fairly early on to his run (in that forest with the Chansey double battle) I didn’t exchange insta with him, because I couldn’t get a good read on his actual age.

But I haven’t seen someone play a game on the 3DS for so long, so much so that I accidentally called it a Switch 😭

But anyways, this has inspired me to start my own playthrough. I’ve only played Pearl before, so the Distortion World is one of the last Pokemon experiences I’ve yet to have. I’m so excited!

I chose Chimchar and named her Papaya
