Even though it’s evidence that I was a gullible 12-year-old, I still remember the Evolve Dragonite into Yoshi prank in April 1999’s Expert Gamer Magazine. I never actually saw the magazine until a scan years later, but I’ll never forget how I totally believed this kid in class that Yoshi was a “secret Pokemon.” I’m fairly certain it wasn’t April when he told me, though.
