'Pokémon - Master Trainer' Board Game GET!
Iolaus | 11:36 AM on 04.10.2008 24 comments


For a while now I've been wanting to post a c-blog, I had already posted a Turning Point blog and have since wanted to offer something a bit more substantial to Destructoid. I felt as though it was giving me so much and I was not deserving of the fun it gave me until I posted a real blog.

Then I spent ages trying to figure out what I could blog about which wouldn't immediately earn me a 'Fail' picture. And today I found my answer.

This game:


(neither of these pictures are from me as my camera cable has been lost, sorry)

Many moons ago when everything was Pokémon; I played this game with my friend Liam, at his house. He was one of those lucky kids that gets everything he wants and you were jealous of him as a child, but then you grow up and he tries to stab you with a knife at school, and you slowly drift apart...

But I digress...

He had this game, we played this game, I wanted this game, my parents bought me this game. (I guess we weren't that different after all)

I love this game.

It brings back so many happy memories.

Sadly it was lost or sold during the years from Pokémon's height till now. But all was saved today, when I found it for Ł2 in Barnardo's charity shop.

It's now sitting on my bed just begging to be played.

I write this to share with you the wonderful feeling that I have right now of finding this game and the memories that come with it. Such a simple thing, but it makes me feel so happy.

Do you guys have any game-related things that bring back happy memories to you?

I have the complete collection of Mario Bros comic books in one book. Just found it again the other day. I love that thing.

Iolaus's Destructoid Blog
NihonTiger90: You've obviously got the meanings of 'sad' and 'amazing' mixed up. Don't worry about it though, happens to the best of us.

BlackSheep: I am literally in awe.

And Blehman: Thanks a lot.

twister1988's Destructoid Blog

MechaMonkey's Destructoid Blog
My family had this, but it got demolished. Games that have that many pieces usually do.
jdub28's Destructoid Blog
I have the RBY and the GS version. It was a pain to set up and no where near as much fun as the card game.
Jaren Face's Destructoid Blog
holy hell, did I have good times with that game.
A friend of mine brought it in during the 5th grade for board games day, and I fell in love with it ever since. the feeling I got when I rolled a six (I believe) to catch Mewtwo. Nerdgasmic.

I eventually bought my own, and made people play it any chance I could during family parties.

But alas, the pieces, and probably the board itself, is long gone, another victim to how unorganized I am. A shame too, I bet my friends would really dig a game like this these days.
Iolaus's Destructoid Blog
I'm very glad to see that this game has brought joy to so many of you.
Loki Power's Destructoid Blog
Oh god! I remember this game when I was a kid! I used to play it all the time with my family!
Scary Womanizing Pig Mask's Destructoid Blog
That game as awesome! I had forgotten all about until now! If I remeber correctly, it involved you going around the board rolling die to catch the Pokemon tokens untill you recahed the elite four and had a Pokemon battle. Sooo much fun! Someone should really make an online version of it.
Justice's Destructoid Blog
I've beaten the indigo plateau so I don't need this board game because I'm a Master already!
POH-KEY-MON!
tsunamikitsune's Destructoid Blog
I miss this game. T_T
Iolaus's Destructoid Blog
It says a lot about the people on the internet to have them not pick up on the stabbing attempt i mentioned in my blog. =D

Which was true.

He was an odd kid.
Scary Womanizing Pig Mask's Destructoid Blog
@lolaus.
I thought that was a joke. That's kind of creepy @.@ How old was the kid at the time?
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
My cousins used to have this! It was so awesome.
Necros's Destructoid Blog
I so wanted this game as a kid, but I got more video games instead. I think I got the better end of the deal.
Iolaus's Destructoid Blog
I think we were probably about 11, maybe?

He brought a pen knife to school and tried to attack me, but my friend Ellis grabbed it and broke the knife in half. From then on we were worst enemies, but I don't think I had much say in it. I still don't remember what happened to make him so upset...

He was the person I first completed Pokémon with, we both traded with each other to get the full 150 on red/blue.
Good times.
Dan CiTi's Destructoid Blog
This game should be online.
