+candlewax122 By this point, it was too late to do anything for Chris (depending on the his mental state at that point). Chris had been baby sat by those girls for too long, his father would bribe them 'litterally' to look out for him in high school, his parents never gave him the proper care, treatment, and schooling needed for him growing up, his parents had hardly any knowlegde how to take care of a special needs child, nor did Chris himself had young kids his own age to interract with growing up as a child along with the right people in general in his life growing up. and to add icing and a cherry on the cake, his parents neglected him with an abusive babysitter for some years of his childhood while knowing full well of how she treated him. So all that combined is why Chris only ended finding comfort in his own head even now as an adult rather than getting the right help needed from the right people back here in reality! That was all according to his half brother Cole Smithey at that time! In the words of Sachumo "this is a tragedy, that could've been prevented!
Imagine being a parent and you see a man child dressed as ash Ketchum playing with pokemon cards, i would not even let my kids go near as 8 feet of that place even with friends And I'm still in highschool
I can almost imagine the person behind this report telling the camera operator "make sure you get the shot of the Man-child sitting playing this game for kids! This will be gold!"

Funny to see a full grown man playing cards with kids. What was funnier was according to Michael Snyder, owner of The Game Place where this was filmed at, stated that Chris would creep out a lot of the kids and their parents during the games but mostly be would get angry and throw a fit of he'd lost to them. The worst would be when he would play against the black or hispanic kids and if he would lose to them he would scream racial slurs or make a scene. God bless Michael Snyder for being one of the few adults to make a stand against Chris by banning him.
“It started with a digital cassette tray for a hand held video game machine all the way from China called The Game Gear.” And it shows footage of Doom. “Parents are concerned about the extreme violence.”
Okay. Memes and jokes aside, it is truly something to behold seeing that Pokémon is in fact, the best-selling media franchise in the world. But like, it’s definitely earned it.
I remember these days... I never learned how to actually play until I bought the Gameboy game. But either way, my older brother and I had a good time just collecting them. I wish I was nine years old again.
