Had a great time revisiting this and using the emu edition hack in an attempt to complete a Pokedex for the first time. Unfortunately I fell just short because late into my playthrough I accidentally glitched a PC box overwrite and copied over my only eevee and my togepi I had yet to evolve. That was quite frustrating so watch over the bugs in this game, some can be used to your advantage and some can really hurt your playthrough. Still, the aesthetics of this game are extremely nostalgic to me as this was the first ever pokemon cart I picked up as a kid! I still remember a friend let me borrow it and it blew my mind even from the moment that big blue cartridge awkwardly stuck out the top of my gameboy advanced. Gen 2 will always be my favorite just barely over Gen 3, and it really comes full circle for me because the gen 4 remakes of these were the last ones I played or really had any interest in. Was very satisfying to return and crush Red with a team full of legendaries, Typlosion will always be my main man, if you can win him a fire blast he absolutely crushes.
