So, I've been wanting to play Pokemon but I don't want to work on the Yellow Dexrun because it's a lot of effort and I'm just not feeling it after playing 1st gen games so many times XD So I'm going to play through Pokemon Gold. I have plans for a Crystal Revenge, which I'll get to, but it'll be nice to see the differences between the 'original' gen2 games and the 'final' one.
I used to think that Gen 2 was a lazy tack-on to Gen 1, using rejected Pokemon designs and such. But since then I've kind of changed my mind, especially after seeing what all was planned to go into Gen 1. Gen 2 is more like the realization of the game they weren't able to make with Gen 1, giving us more stuff all the way around. So Gen 2 may end up becoming one of my favorite generations...? Right now it's one of the lowest (probably 3rd lowest). I've also come around to the roster -- I used to think Gen 2 was a bunch of ugly reject mons, but then someone had me look through them and see which ones I did and didn't like and I realized I actually like most of them, and even some of my all-time favorites like Ariados and Forretress come from there.
So I'm really looking forward to this :)
Sadly I haven't been playing proper games or watching anime because I got addicted to mobile gaming again X_X My Pokemon kick made me want to try out all the Pokemon mobile games again, and I restarted Pokemon Masters EX and got addicted. I may or may not have already blown like $60 on it, too >_>; It's funny because I was going to buy Pokemon Sword (since I only have Shield) but decided I didn't really want to spend the money on it... then go and blow money on this like it's nothing T_T Mobile game addiction is a real thing. I've been struggling to pull myself away from the game, but spent like 2 days doing NOTHING but playing the game.
So playing Pokemon Gold was a refreshing change of pace.
Anyway, let's get started! Not much happened in my first play session (~30 minutes) but I did learn some neat things.
