From my
instagram and
twitter you can already tell that I got my hands on the latest version of Pokémon and is currently going crazy over it. I'm not gonna lie, I got really carried away by this game every time I play. I stopped playing it ever since I got into the internet world but sure I still love pokémon, just that I don't play it anymore. I bought Pokémon White planning to go back into the whole Pokémon thing but my cousin thought it's my uncle's so he played it and you know when you have to play off from where someone else has left it to be, you'd rather not play at all? That's exactly what I thought.
My uncle bought his limited 3DS XL at Funan mall together with Pokémon X and Y on 12 October - real Pokémon fan there! You know I'm a sucker for limited edition stuff so I thought
I'm gonna go get that 3DS XL tomorrow! so I woke up even before the mall is open and head down to Funan. Waited for an hour plus to get told that in all of the game stores in Funan mall was sold out the day before. Never expect it to be like iPhone.
I was so depressed, planning to get the normal 3DS since it's cheaper and if it wasn't for the legendary Pokémon cover I wouldn't have even think about getting the XL. Thank goodness I didn't just ask for the normal 3DS on the spot but decided to head back home first. On my way home I was texting Lwin and she said
STAY WHERE YOU ARE!, she called the game store in Orchard and figured that there's a few left so I rushed down and asked if they still have any available. This is our conversation:
Me: Hi, is the limited 3DS XL still available in this store?
Staff: You're referring to the Pokémon one?
Me: Yeah that!
Staff: Yeah of course, we still have a few left.
Me: DO YOU HAVE RED?!
Staff: Red.... yeah we do.
Me: How much is it?
Staff: Oh, the cost of limited 3DS XL increased quite a bit.
Me: And it is now..?
Staff: $488.
Me: WHAT? $488... *about to turn around and go home because I only brought 400*
Staff: HAHAHAHA JUST KIDDING, IT'S 388.
I was freaking out inside because I thought it really is $488, you know.. it's not impossible then after paying I was just like qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm I'm sure you know what I mean.
