Pokémon Pikachu...

[Lil Brother]

(I guess this goes here.)

I can't turn the blasted thing on!

Yeah, I found the original yellow one from the days of old and decided to screw around with it. Aaaand I couldn't figure out how to turn it out. I ended up pressing the little "engraved" button thing in the right corner a couple times... which was probably a mistake, but whatever. Now it'll make sound when I touch buttons, but I can't see the screeen. Does this thing need a new battery or what? :l

I just have the PP2, so I'm not sure how the original works. But I've heard that the picture on the PP2 goes dim after a while, so that may be it.

man, I remember that thing... part of me wishes I hadn't. I always went crazy when it went into the "Sad" personality and frantically shook it for hours.
