Dollar Tree being only a single dollar on everything.
I didn’t know Dollar Tree existed further back in the years like the 80s. But, I didn’t discover the store until like late 2000s. That store was a godsend for my then mostly broke ass. Sure the quality of products could’ve been better and the food selection could’ve been better, but they were there for me and others who’re strapped on budgets.
And it was a good 16 years while that lasted. It is a little annoying at times to shop there and know it is no different than Dollar General and Family Dollar. But it could’ve been worse.
Gen 2 was the GOAT. It had enough Pokemon count (you could collect them all without the effort that it takes now) and Pokémon stadium 2. Everything else has been men after that, though I did like secret caves and change in attacks. Now if y’all excuse me it’s time for my medication and back to rocking chair.
