I don’t remember the last Pokemon game I played that I went into with no prior knowledge of what was going to happen. When I was a kid, the man at the secondhand video game store in Birkenhead Market had to explain to me why the copy of Sapphire he had for sale was functionally the same as the copy of Ruby I was after. He was even kind enough to explain that, thanks to the fact my friends had Ruby, I would be able to trade with them to complete the PokeDex, which wouldn’t be the case if I bought Ruby.
