Probably the biggest addiction I ever had, was the first generation of 'Pokémon'. I watched the anime, I had the trading cards, I had some random stuff here and there, and I had the game on GameBoy. The Blue Version, but that's coincidence really. For a time I lived and breathed Pokémon. I wasn't alone, this thing was huge. Still back then it wasn't that easy to do what the games were meant to be for; trading Pokémon.
The GameBoy obviously doesn't have wireless technology, and they needed to be linked via a cable. And this was a problem, because these cables were something of a myth. Nobody had one. And besides, trading also needed two people being together with their GameBoy and the game in hand and that was equally rare, because we weren't taking our GameBoys to school. So after a couple years, when my addiction subsided and I never got another generation of Pokémon games anymore, I actually never did that which was the whole point of having two different versions of the game; trading a Pokémon.
