What do I even say? This is what got me into gaming, and as a devout (I'm Sorry) Pokémon sycophant, I have struggled over the years of age to find value in the newer and newer titles. Something about Sinnoh though, walking with Cheryl in Eterna Forest is a core memory, I remember Jolt, my first Partner through thick and thin, as well as Cynthia, don't get me started. I can't hate it, I still play it to this very day. I have done so many playthroughs on so many cartridges I've lost count of the hours, but being i've been playing since release... with at least one (if not two) 100% playthroughs yearly.

I am not ashamed of my undying commitment, it's an addiction... and I would have it no other way.
