I don't know what a 'zoomer' is but I wasn't kidding, I had a blueish GBC 20 years ago and I didn't know anyone who'd be too afraid to take their gameboy to school in fear of gettting it stolen. Did you go to a ghetto school or something?

Besides me and my friends were all nerds so they wouldn't bully me for that and the rest of my class would've just been 'lol why do they care about that stupid thing' and be busier with more important stuff like talking about soccer or spice girls.

Absolute lies by this poser faggot. Pokemon became such a massive cultural phenomenon that my school instituted a policy where if they saw you had a gameboy they would take it and hold it until the end of the day, before that there was zero gameboy policy because it was never an issue. It was specifically when gbc came out that schools got flooded with them. People didn't care if you had pink, green, whatever they just wanted to borrow it and play it.

It's not that bad being one and you get used to it. Even if you became the kind of succesful person you or your parents would've dreamed of you'd still have to deal with a lot of shit that's also off-putting but in a completely different way from being a shut-in or a NEET.

Stop thinking of what others want(ed) you to be and get those faggy collectibles if you want to. My parents always hated video games and I'm sure they'd wonder why I still play those 'lousy computer games' over 2 decades later - let alone spend actual money on them collecting some of them - but I like many other stopped giving a damn about it a long time ago.
