Some fans of the series actually became invested at an older age than most, and a certain [[Autism\|autistic]] person named Christian Weston Chandler happens to be one of them, in part due to his arrested development, and due to his love of video games, anime, and television in general. It is highly integral to his life, as without ''Pokémon'', the world of ''[[Sonichu (comic)\|Sonichu]]'' wouldn't exist.

			==History==
			It's not known precisely when Chris first became aware of ''Pokémon''. He might've become aware of it when the anime premiered in syndication in [[1998]], or around the time ''Red'' and ''Blue'' were released on the Game Boy that year. Whatever the case, by [[1999]] he was beyond hooked. His earliest known reference to the franchise was in a [[Manchester High Leaks#Adjectives worksheet\|Spanish class assignment]] from [[Manchester High School\|high school]], by which point he'd gotten immersed in the anime, the video games, and the [[TCG\|card game]]. In October of that year, Chris showed up in [[Chris Chan in the PokéNews\|the local news]], where he (then aged 17) played the card game with children much younger than him, at the Books-a-Million he frequented back in [[Midlothian]].

			Chris has owned almost every single ''Pokémon'' game released in North America, from the original black-and-white Game Boy games to the more recent Switch titles. He also owned numerous ''Pokémon'' VHS tapes, posters, and other paraphenelia, though the fate of these after the [[2014 house fire]] and/or his [[Jail Saga\|exile from his home]] is unknown.

	Chris meticulously saved and cataloged at least 15 Pokemon cards he dubbed "Memory Cards". They are scattered throughout his collection. They can be identified by a crudely drawn star taped to the upper right corner of the outside of a card sleeve. Behind the card is the same card stock with the custom [[CWC]] back that he used to print his card from the [[Wall of Originals]]. On which he titled the card, gave a brief reason why the card means so much to him, and numbered the card for the set. The spelling, grammar and handwriting would suggest these are very early ~~editions~~ to his collection. The oldest memory card is dated to [[Twin Falling Towers\|September 11, 2001]]. It to fair to assume these cards are older than that if numbered by date of acquisition.		Chris meticulously saved and cataloged at least 15 Pokemon cards he dubbed "Memory Cards".

It made him Dark, but he was able to be temporarily healed and then revealed himself to Wild. Wild's father, in a breath moment of clarity, told Wild, "I am your father." To which Wild replied, "THAT'S NOT TRUE! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. My father was a Scyther." Then, presumably after a battle, Scizor's helmet is broken in half, revealing his Scyther face.
