For no reason whatsoever I remembered as a child with too much internet access stumbling upon a Flash game where you shot at Pokémon with a gun, and they turned into little red splats. I think I remember you eventually having a shootout with Ash because he was mad that you killed his Pikachu. After I played it I had nightmares due to the horrible sins I had committed in the game, I was around 6-8 years old at the time and just figured out how to use the internet.
In a few years, when I get close to turning 30, I imagine that I will be banned from the Super Mario Boards for being too old. I should really get a life at that point.
Edit: I should have said Happy New Years Mario Boardsters in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania who celebrate New Years according to the Gregorian Calendar to be more accurate.
