So I would say that I've always been a fan of the Pokemon franchise. I will always cherish my memories of training my little grass frog to beat the shit out of everything that stands in its path. However, for a brief period, around the release of generation 5(Black/White, Black2/White2), I entered a phase where I thought I was too old for Pokemon. Obviously, I am no longer in that ridiculous phase. Because of this, I never got to play a gen 5 game. I would spend hours upon hours searching for a copy of the games on eBay or Amazon, only to find that the games are SO GODDAMN EXPENSIVE. Eventually, though, my search bore fruit, or so I thought. I found a copy of pokemon white(I prefer Zekrom, sue me) for the low low price of a mere $25. Initially, I questioned it. "Why would a gen 5 game be this cheap?" "Is there maybe something wrong with it?". Eventually, my curiosity won out. I purchased the game and it promptly arrived within the next two days.

   When it finally arrived, my excitement peaked. I ran to grab my Nintendo 3Ds XL edition. As I inserted the cartridge, the all-too-familiar click of the cartridge fitting perfectly within the slot sounded like a perfect three-part harmony to my ears. As I booted up the game, I was greeted not by a 3D-rendered model of the Pitch-Black Pokemon, Zekrom, but by an odd Pokemon that resembled a fusion of Giratina and Kyurem.
  That was not where the mystery ended, however, as instead of a title reading "Pokemon White version", it read "Pokemon Void version" in an odd, distorted, glitchy text. At this point, the thought crossed my mind that this was just some ROM hack and not the game I was expecting. However, "Pokemon is Pokemon is Pokemon is Pokemon", I thought to myself as I started a new game.
