I usually spend a half an hour or so every week sitting next to Gary's sister. I used to get such a raging boner when she'd give me the map, knowing that her brother would hate it, but that her connection with me was more important. He was out there, autistically raising his Pokemons' power levels, while I was at home sitting next to his hot piece-of-ass sister, smelling her hair, looking forward to getting a map that she once held in her soft hands. It's such a purity and elegance in the relationship that none of the later games captured. She was always the real motivation to beat the Elite Four. To come back to Pallet, worldly and experienced, finally putting down her brother in the worst way, to rightfully claim her patient body.
I also really like the safari zone; it's fun trying to find all of the Pokemon and items before the time runs out, while having to use unconventional capture techniques.
