So this thing happened to me back in 7th grade, I just remembered it now because one of my friends brought up the pokemon subject. Anyhow here is how this story goes, and keep in mind this is all real and im not making this shit up:

Summer after 7th grade, I just bought a new GBA game : Pokemon Emerald. I go home, charge the batteries, and then but the cartridge in and woohoo im in pokemon land! I played 6-12 hrs a day for 2 days, I was too addicted that the only break I had was for lunch or dinner. However, on the morning of the third day something weird happened, I started hearing pokemon music in the background....

At first, I thought it was just something because I was playing so much. However, it kept going on everytime I am not hearing anything such as around the time I go to bed. I couldn't sleep or concentrate on anything well for the next 2 days. Then I thought, this cartridge must be satanic and since I named the character in the game after myself, it is doing some weird shit to my head. SO I go on and delete my save, but the song is still stuck in my head. This is the gameboy song that plays when walking throughout a city or a road...

So, I had enough. I go to my dad and tell him I am hearing shit through my ear and cant really concentrate nor sleep. My dad then takes me to a doctor and the doctor checks my ear and said this: Son, did you go swimming anytime this week?
Me: Yeah I did.
Doctor: Well it turns out there is water in your right ear from swimming.., and what happened was that you were playing that game soo much that the sound got in and started bouncing because the water doesn't let it go out.
Me: What.... So how do I get it out?

So eventually he gives me a medicine and tells me to sleep on my right side. The next day, I cant hear the sound anymore . Then I threw out the cartridge and said to never again play pokemon on GBA with its music on!

You never needed to get medicine in the first place lmao - just sleep on your right side is all you had to do.
Hahaha I remember like 7 years ago, I was sooo addicted to SC, I played it ALL day. Whenever I was out with my friends, I would hear the siege tank sieging up sound randomly throughout the school afternoon. It was ridiculous

i swear that doesn't make sense. "So much sound" went in and started reflecting due to the water inside you ear? That would mean that you would've heard echoes of your doctor, dad, and everything else you heard while this was going. Maybe i'm wrong. i probably am.

no, I remember I found it really creepy and scary at the time and whenever I couldn't take it anymore I would move into one of the surrounding routes or go into the pokemon centre (True story :/)

the abandoned mansion on cinnabar island had the same music too :<

That diagnoses sounds 100% made up.
