Idk how he did it but he did, my swedish chef man himself put together the all encompassing "Greg" game. Nearly 10 years of our tremendously stupid online lives put together into one incredible nightmare of a game. It would be funny if it was just that but what truly elevates it beyond just a gag is the attention to detail of the actual mechanics. So many changes to mons to make so many of them more viable, incredibly clever trainer encounters that are never a brainless match, and gym leaders that throw everything they can at you, somehow this fucker made a fire type gym leader that was near impossible for a swampert to do anything to. Compared to how brainless ORAS was where I just threw out Swampert to win, each of my 6 mons all were vital in getting me all the way to the end and I deeply care for them all. Throw in cute little things like an easy grinding spot and the ability to swap abilities on the fly along with the other conveniences of playing an emulated Mons game and you have such a well streamlined experience that has all but assured me I will never play another mons game again when there are so many things to do here.

I don't know if it's possible for anyone outside of our stupid group of friends to understand any of the actual writing but as someone who has somehow stuck with a group of people stupid enough to stick with me for around 10 years there is so many truly great in-jokes and deep callbacks to our weirdly bizarre place of internet culture. If nothing else people outside of us should be able to laugh at the constant disdain the Brits get.

If there is any a nitpick it is that it likely relies a bit too hard on double battles in the back half for my taste but that's just my brain-worms. Max somehow did it and I could not be happier.

Shouts to PUNISHED the Swampert, sneed the Ferrothorn, narutofox the Ninetails, GAY AGENDA the Alolan Muk (Gay Agenda), Funfetti the Togekiss and SNOT the Arctozolt, best team of mons anyone coulda ever asked for.
