When I was a kid I got a gba sp, but actually lost it alongside my Pokémon emerald cart that was inside of it.

My parents ended up buying me another one with another copy of the game because none of us could find it and it had been months since it had gone missing. I wasn't allowed to take it to school or anything so maybe it had gotten lost at a park somewhere or slipped out of the car somehow, but I was pretty confident that the last time I saw it was at the house.

Well fast forward several months after that and for some reason I was lying down underneath the recliner on the floor and a little glint caught my eye. I reached my hand in to see what it was and lo and behold, it was my Gameboy, which had sunk underneath the couch from between the cushions. Kid me immediately started bawling his eyes out with the realization that all of those Pokémon I had in my original copy were all still there, like being reunited with a bunch of old friends.

The gba has this massive scar on it from where it kind of got crushed in the couch's reclining mechanism to remind me of that moment and I still have both the original copy of the game and that sp. Don't have the original save unfortunately, I think it's been overwritten a few times with different playthroughs at this point but that's alright.

The newer Gameboy was given to my brother and I have no idea what he did with it.
