Former Clemson QB Tajh Boyd Takes to Twitter to Find Pokemon Game (because he has to catch 'em all)

Tajh Boyd will soon be making a good chunk of change. In spite of a solid career, CBS Sports has him rated as a seventh round pick in the coming draft--maybe. If he isn't drafted there is no way he is not in camp with someone. League minimum for a rookie is still $420K.

Point is he will soon be able to afford whatever he wants, but for now he is out of luck. So when he really wanted a certain Pokémon game (still a cool game for a 23-year old) he had to take to Twitter to find it.

Apparently he really wanted to catch 'em all and needed a particular game in order to do so:

Anybody have pokemon for gameboy color that they're tryna sell

Someone was quick to try to help:

I have crystal but I need that yellow what yu thinking @andrewsauer1

But it just wasn't the right one. Apparently catching Pikachu takes a lot of battery power:

But I wanna play it on my gameboy shayne! Battery on my phone already dies quick enough smh #stanford @ShayneSkov

It seems that this game can be pretty expensive now:

May have to check into it on amazon pokemon is going for the same prices as Some of my Jordan's lol @RangersFanMatt @andrewsauer1

But when you have to catch 'em all you have to do what you have to do. Thanks to the power of social media a man and his Pokémon were eventually brought together!

I'd laugh, but when you consider what some of his fellow draft prospects are up to these days if he wants to play Pokémon he should play Pokémon.
