During an interview in 2014, Ronda Rousey said, “My first one was Pokemon Blue, and my first Pokemon was a Charmander and I was immediately hooked on it. I lost a bunch of weight that summer, and I was a small kid because I would not stop playing.”

She continued, “I literally would have like, I’ll be playing it, and I wouldn’t stop. And I would have a stack of Graham crackers and milk next to me because I would not get up to eat. I would just be like, ‘Graham cracker, gotta do this, keep playing, Graham Cracker.'”
