that single great ball in the trash can on the s.s. anne in gen 1 ruined me. it’s been 18 years and yet i don’t think i’ll ever be able to break the compulsion of going out of my way to check every single trash can in every pokemon game forever, even though it never produces the desired result.

i think maybe one or more of the later games might have had a hidden trash can item?? maybe?? but i don’t remember.

and it doesn’t matter. no matter how bleak and deafening the near-complete lack of reward or positive reinforcement, i am doomed to the same pixelated trashpicking hell i have been in since 1998. there is no escape. i am resigned to my fate and i can’t wait to resume the same unsuccessful pattern with gen 7 in november. take my money and whatever is left of my soul, gamefreak
