Pokémon

My fiance, Tom, proposed to me this past week in this fantastically romantic and nerdy manner. I've been playing Pokemon since Blue version, and have been frequently called a walking Pokedex. On Wednesday, we took a stroll by the lake at sunset. He asked me to look over his team before he climbed Mt. Silver, and this is the screen I found! (Minus the Rapidash- I caught that on the spot in order to reply). Then he got down on one knee, pulled a Pokeball out of his pocket, and opened it to reveal

Let's keep the battles at a minimum during the ceremony, shall we boys?

The very best groom, that is! Also, I haven't seen a GameBoy Advance in years! Extra points for retro gaming.

Thanks, WIN!

Darwin and Nintendo approve.

PI-KA-CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Ash Ketchum might've been the one proposing, but break dancing Boba Fett stole the show.

It's super effective!!

What better time to pop the question than after saving Kanto from Giovanni's reign of terror, freeing the gyms from Team Rocket, and rescuing all the kidnapped victims, including the rival's wife? That is, of course, you unlock the secret ending.

Sorry Ash, I'm pretty sure what you're doing is illegal in most states. (I said "MOST.")

In terms of geek engagements, Pokémon is to early-twenty-somethings what Zelda is to people old and moldy like me.
