A Pokemon trainer has been reunited with their Pokemon Stadium team𝐆 from 20 years ago, thanks to the efforts of a stranger who happened to buy their old cartrid🍸ge.

The unlikely story started as so many good (and bad) things do on the internet these days: with some Twitter randos crossing paths. In this case, Derek R. Rose of the Pokemon Stadium cartridge that they bought off eBay, which they were displ♌eased to find had its first owner's name - Sam G. - written on the label,ꩲ contrary to the seller's picture. A mutual follower jokingly tagged in their friend who was also named Sam G., and then… it turned out it was the same Sam G.

It could have ended as a funny coincidence there. Instead, Derek embarked on a mission to reunite Sam G. with his long-lost Pokemon, transferrinღg them all🐼 the way from the original Stadium cartridge to Pokemon Sword & Shield.

The of bringing the three Pokemon forward through two decades worth of Pokemon games included a good old ꦚfashioned N64 Transfer Pak, a cartridge dumper, and a hacked﷽ 3DS. Finally, Derek traded them over to their new home on Sam G.'s Switch.

Sadly, Derek - which also included a Fearow and Aerodactyl - due to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pokemon Sword & Shield Pokedex restrictions. He says he'll keep them safe for the time being. Derek also plans on that Sam G. started out o♋n so many years ago.

After that journey through Pokemon's past, look ahead with these Pokemon Sword and Shield DLC details.
