BLUE - I have a Name

After spending a lot of my day reading some Pokemon Creepy-Pasta, I thought it would be nostalgic to start over my Red version.

I miss the old days, lots of fun, naming my rival a bunch of asshole names...

I always did that, it was the highlight of every laugh I've had in the Pokemon games!

Now what I'm about to say, is completely real, unlike a few pastas out there, but I now believe in quite a few of them because of this experience..

I played expecting nothing creepy to happen, so it was all good, nothing to really scare me at all. For some reason, my gameboy wouldn't load the game up, so I turned on good ol' Pokemon Stadium and put the cartridge in. Afterwards I transferred over some of my Pokemon to the storage on Stadium.

I then began my new game.

Intro went normally, names went okay, I decided to be un-clever and name my rival Douche, just like others have.

So my game begins, I access my PC, grab my potion, and save just to be clear.

For some reason, there was a wall of letters on my start menu, all A mainly, so I thought it was just an error due to it being an old game cartridge.

I was wrong. Douche was sending me a message.

Amongst an assortment of seemingly buggy "A"s, I could read out: NoT FuNnNy. These messages had to be deciphered, as I got further, I noticed the pattern it was going at, and could tell which "A" belonged in words.

I thought that was weird... I didn't know it was douche sending this message at the time, but I can sure as hell say it had intent. I shrugged it off though, I mean the game is old...

So I enter the tall grass, follow Oak, and enter his lab. After a few lines of me giggling to Douche's demise, I decided to save before selecting my starter (I'm a paranoid save-a-holic with Pokemon), another message...

"Im not amused"

At this point, things were getting freaky, frantically and worried I pressed on, it was alright, this is just some kind of bug with the game, I'm sure of it.

I decided to select Bulbasaur, since it's a natural choice for first gen...

Suddenly the pokeballs, red, and oak disappeared from the screen. All I could see was Douche. As if he was showing me he was delivering these messages.

I press buttons wondering the way out of this seemingly weird glitch, then decide to hit the start button again...expecting another message from Douche, I was right.

"CHANGE ME!
CHANGE ME
CHANGE ME"

Could be seen amongst all the A's on the screen once again...
I decide to exit it, get back to picking the Pokemon again, same thing. So I start a new game, this time, fed up with Douche, I named him "ASS".

The game began, my typical saving routine... but Ass had a message for me too...

"This isnt funny"

I approach my Pokemon again, same routine, what the hell does Ass want now?

"Stop it
change me"

I was creeped out and at a loss for words... This is a game, no way it should do something like that. It's as if he's slamming all my options away... He completely distorted this game in order to tell me he was fed up.

I decide to ignore his repeated messages and keep clicking, give me my damn Bulbasaur already.

For some reason, it stopped letting me get out of the start screen, I look at his message, and it's clear Ass has had enough.

"THAT'S IT!!!" is what it said on my screen. The moment I hit items, the game restarted itself... completely glitching up the screen before fading to the black Game Freak logo. Every moment felt more and more sadistic, he was responding faster, using more force each time to emphasize that he didn't like his name.

Confused I go back, at this point, my Rival's name should still have been Douche, I was in the same spot when I first continued.

Upon returning to Professor Oak to get my Pokemon... there was a change in names.

Douche and Ass no longer existed name-wise. There was only the big bold default "BLUE".
I pick my starter... no interruptions, everything seemed fine... I save... and see one final message from BLUE.

"I have a name,
Deal with it."

All I can say is that I will never name my rival something degrading again, this was just a really frightening experience... just...I'm at a real loss for words here. I have to sympathize with poor Blue, after all these years... all he's ever had was his name changed to something degrading, lost his poor Raticate millions of times out there, it's an infinite loop. He's suffered enough, and all I had to say about him was name him things like assface, dickwad, douche, etc. for his whole entire life. I did not expect this sort of thing to happen, nor did I even believe them... but I think I'll have to show my rivals some more respect from now one.
