Since Internet was invented we were shure that there exists a Nirwana (Paradise), where every message neverever received ended.
I remember from the '90 a email which needed 6 month to go from US to Germany, because it was frozen in a server in midway, until they repaired it and it went on on its way.
I didn’t even know email existed in 1990. I had just learned about it in English class in 1993 when I was a senior in High School and had no idea what teacher was talking about. Probably never used it until around 2002.
Worked with email (SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) in 1981. Figured everybody had it, and was wrong about that. Expected it to last a couple of generations, and was wrong about that, too. (It’s still around but no longer the ‘standard’ means of communication, having been displaced by texts and tweets.)
I think I found the trick on how to throw Excellent Throws. I even managed to do the Make three Excellent Curveball Throws in a row task within 15 minutes of time. The Pokémon I managed to throw the Excellents in a row on were Spoink, Poochyena and Rattata.
