Their wholesome experience went viral when she revealed her mistake that cost hours of playtime. “It was time to get my second Gym Badge. And I was feeling pretty good,” the content creator said. However, her 9-year old self at the time became confused by an NPC’s dialogue and thought they had to find the Gym Leader near trees. “My 9-year old hubris finally caught up to me. I was so dumb, and I got so stuck, I clocked 100 hours looking for the Gym Leader in Eterna Forest.”
The YouTuber spent so much time looking for Gym Leader Gardenia that she over-leveled her Pokemon: “It got so bad that a bunch of my Pokemon evolved, and they had such high levels they wouldn’t listen to me anymore. And the only way to fix that is to get the second Gym Badge. I got so fed up I dropped the game completely.”
And in all fairness, the classic Pokemon games could sometimes actually be pretty complex – especially for children. Another fan revisiting Diamond & Pearl recently also went viral after rage-quitting due to being trolled by the most evil NPC.
