A few notes about my experiences with the Chris-Chan phenomenon:
It all started when I was surfing TVTropes one day, and came across a page for Sonichu. I thought "how bad could it get?"
This wiki was the wakeup call. I noticed a few disturbing parallels between my life and Chris's:
-Both of us are fans of Sonic, Pokémon, and Guitar Hero/Rock Band
-Both of us failed English in 10th grade only to make honor roll status upon graduation, and we both were in the Chesterfield County district
-Both of us are out of shape
The first one, I'm not ditching games just because of Chris, and the second is in the past.
The breaking point for the third, however, was reading Chris getting shot down in the Father Call.
I wanted to join the PVCC boards, but never got approved, and just found out on Cogs's page that registration is closed.
One little note: The one time I went to the Pokémon Trading Card League, it was at the Books-A-Million that Chris "worked" at. I know that Chris worked the place at the time I went, because it was before the Neo series. I only remembered getting gypped out of my Zapdos in a lousy trade and then losing to a creative player that kept bending the rules, and neither involved Chris.
