oh my god my childhood is rushing into my head. like a great flood of memories, they flow into the forefront of my senses. the summer ac, the car ride hums, the nostalgic smell of lazy rain days. it's repetitive at first like pretty much every pokemon but building up a team is a great feeling while exploring this unfamiliar land. overall the game reminds me of how i played the FUCK out of platinum as a kid. might be a 4.5 eventually
