I gave all of my groomsmen GBAs with backlights and a custom fake emerald with me as the champion. My brother is traveling and unemployed because of his wife’s job, so he’s been playing Emerald(he remembers ruby and sapphire very well) and sent me his team. He’s at 6 badges.
They all had custom shiny starters, his was a wailord because he found one at a level before it should’ve evolved when we were kids and thought it was special.
