Hey Guys! My name is CypherDen and before we get started,
since you guys like the animation style of the last video so much,
I figured why the heck not?! If I make more animations in this style,
that means we'll have more animations monthly!
I can always go back and forth in the animation style depending on the video!
(slow Yay!) *Throat clears* No one cares. Cypher: Well then.
Anyways!
HOW I MADE MONEY PLAYING POKEMON
(Story time Den) Once upon a time, I was a new kid that just moved to the United States of America
Aaand I knew absolutely no one in school.
I spoke English, but I had a *bad accent* terrible accent
Everyone had their little clicks and their friends
that they knew from elementary school
They would sit and talk to each other while yours truly would quietly eat my home cooked spam for lunch
Yeah, I was pretty much a loser that no one wanted to talk to at all instead of making friends I decided
Hey, I could always play pokemon who needs friends
So I brought my favorite game in the whole wide world
Pokemon silver. I would play it on the bus, during school lunch
And I didn't have to worry about being bored or having to talk to other kids
Which was the best of both worlds, if you ask me. No one bothered me for a while, but this one boy
Let's call him Chad
He thought that since I was a girl and
Completely new to the school that he could go ahead and try to steal my game and since I was super shy and quiet that
he could probably get away with it without me saying a word. Oh heck. No. That's my favorite game in the whole wide world
You think i'ma let you theavin' buttocks take my favorite game without putting up a fight
Oh not to mention my mama's gonna beat my gluteus maximus
If I let a kid steal a game that she bought with her hard-earned money
Nanananana so as he grabbed my Pokemon cartridge and try to pocket it as if it was a blue-eyes White Dragon
I grabbed his hands with my cat-like reflexes, and then twisted it, putting enough pressure until he dropped my pokemon game, okay
I forgot to mention that my dad actually made me take Taekwondo classes when I was younger yeah
Yeah, don't ask. I kinda accidentally made Chad cry, but this also earned me some cool points with all the kids
Eventually it started making friends because of well... Pokemon. I was literally the only girl in the group of kids
that would bring the game boys to school. All the other kids will play pokemon for money, but I would never have money
So I can never join in the first place
Okay, maybe I spend my money on a couple bags of Doritos, but let's not talk about that either
I'd like to say that I love competitive battling but in all honesty. I get too frustrated when I lose in games
Anywho Z's in one of those battles. I remember a kid saying,
"Aww, you have an Arcanine?
Do you want to trade? Please? I would pay three dollars for that."
"No, are you crazy?
I was training it for so long."
"Are you sure? That's three dollars!"
And at that very second, I saw a very promising
Business opportunity my super awesome dad previously gifted me an action replay
What's an action replay you may ask? Well the action replay was the holy grail of cheat codes
It was an external game cartridge that you would put your game into
Before you start the game you enter a cheat screen and where you can activate any cheat code you want for any game
My dad probably knew that I sucked in games in the first place, so he got me the action replay.
This holy grail of a cheat device allowed me to have any Pokemon that I wanted in the game and stored it in my inbox
It allowed me to have an infinite amount of any item that I wanted and allowed me to level up any Pokemon in one battle
Imagine you had a level five Dratini that just defeated a level five
Magikarp, and then it turns into a level 56 Dragonite in one go.
I struck a gold mine
But it was a secret that I had to keep. No one can know that such a device existed
I turned on this golden cheat device and cheated my way into getting the main starters
I made them evolve with the best moves of my choosing
Unlimited power
I traded my friends pokemon's the next day and they were hooked
I started trading pokemons left and right for a couple dollars each here and there
All the kids would start ordering certain Pokemon's during class. We'd trade at lunchtime
Pokemons with Master balls on them would be $1 extra
You know, ladies got a play it was a business.
When pokemon ruby came out,
there was more demand on the newer pokemons
I had a chart for all the Pokemon prices
Other kids from other classes started hearing about my Pokemon black market.
Legendaries were obviously more expensive
but I would only trade them in small amounts
I couldn't let these other kids know that I got these pokemons for free
No one would ever expect a tiny little Asian girl to be selling rare Pokemon on the down-low
I was an A student, so technically I got a pass for playing my game boy in class since I would finish all my classwork
Earlier than anyone else. I was selling pokemons like there was no tomorrow
Dolla dolla bills dropping from the skies.
I kinda bought a dumb Easy Bake Oven for boys with my dirty Pokemon money
You kind of put glue in it, and it comes at as bugs
*Screams*
Creepy Crawlers commercial
It didn't matter
Anyways, eventually the principal started hearing about my Pokemon black market because well... my school was a little ghetto and
someone's Gameboy got robbed
I'm still pretty sure that it was Chad, but I was also running a pokemon black market
So who was I to judge?
You know how everyone wanted to be like Ash when they watched Pokemon?
Yeah, I kind of accidentally turned into the Team Rocket leader
Just kind of taking pokemons and well just using them for my own benefits
The principal wanted to know who was selling Pokemons to the other kids and how.
Don't know who snitched, but mmmmm
Thanks, buddy. Thanks
I think they were trying to understand the idea of Pokemon, and what was being sold
Maybe they thought that I was running a Pokemon mafia of some sort. Maybe they thought that I was running a gang of some sort
Either way they were looking for me.
Game boys weren't allowed to be seen in school lunch anymore
Or you'll get detention. In one of my classes, I got called into the principal's office
I was so freaking scared that they would find out that it was me
What if they already knew?
What if someone told them that it was me?
What if they've seen me?
Oh no...
What if...?
What if they tell my parents?
I was freaking out while walking through the principal's office
but I had to keep my cool
They can't know.
It's not too late. I can always just run away, right?
*Ahem*
"Denise?"
"Oh, um...
Y-yes?"
"Are you scared?"
"Heh...
I'm j-j-just a little nervous."
"Why? Did you do something bad?"
"N-not that I know of."
"We called you in today because..."
Hohoho grave fudgesicles on fire.
They know...
This is it...
I need to run away forever...
This is the worst thing I could have done...
That damn bug oven wasn't worth it at all.
Take the bugs, they didn't even look like real bugs
"Because we wanted to congratulate you."
I'm so sor-- wait wait huh?
"You're drawing in art class is going to be featured in the Queens Art Museum."
"That's..... uh.. cool.....
"Congratulations!"
"Oh..... oh... ok.."
Oddly enough, the day after that, my action replay cheat device broke
And I was never able to use it again
And that was also the last day my Pokemon black market mafia was ever heard of...
ever again...
*DING*
Oh. The bugs are ready
