this game really throws a lot of berries at me, just pelts me with them. i feel the need to replant at every new patch i see at every corner. and in reading up on them whilst writing this i learned that if a berry goes through its growth cycle ten times without being harvested it disappears oops!! i've definitely planted some of my last of berries.... not sure if the game keeps track of time any differently while powered off in an emulator but if some berries are now permanently un-re-obtainable then everything is ruined. i won't be able to get them all. i assume berries are what the series tagline is referring to
the game just shuts off and credits roll at this point. i do go through moral phases with Pokémon, like i know everyone talked about this 20 years ago and you can find a whole heap of early 2000s funny gamer webcomics about it, but that doesn't mean it stopped being true. it is undeniable that i am stuffing wild animals into a ball against their will and forcing them to fight for my amusement. pretty sure there was anime episode that showed what it's like inside a pokéball and it was just the pokémon sitting in there bored, and that pretty much ruined my life. yet NPCs be like "I can tell your AZUMARILL is very fond of you!" u wanna talk Lavender Town Syndrome buddy how about a lil place called stockholm..
well i did start 20 whole hours ago
might be worth mentioning even if it makes me seem like an idiot that i'm playing this game traditionally glacially. i don't like using any kinda emulator speed-up whatever because i think opening the door to that would only make me impatient. i don't even turn off battle animations the game looks lame without them
awesome i will never use it
a few years ago i had a phase where i wanted to catch pokémon only in a ball that somewhat resembled their color scheme. now i've reverted to simply using a regular pokéball for everything, even legendaries, and premiers for shinies (hypothetically). that great/ultra ball icon on a pokémon's summary screen? buddy that's a permanent stamp of weakness
seventh badge get but no time to think about dat!! the magmen are storming spaceworld they're gonna steal the demo for the new pokémon game!!! i've had enough of these dudes. time to team up with my best buddy Steven [eyes darting towards his Beldum] who i respect a ton
mom's so cool..
snooping around the badguy base is probably always the least fun part of a Pokémon game. so lucky me that there are two badguyses now and they be moving around all the time, and i be snooping around all the time, and i'm bored of it. go wake your big dinosaurs and die already
Team Magma has been blasted into space! party check-in! empty slot because i mistakenly thought Steven was about to give me his Beldum but it turns out he sucks? do care but he gave me dive
people were right about this game all those years ago.... "there's quite a lot of water!!!" i have been frequently getting lost which would be fine if having to always reapply a repel wasn't annoying. cost ain't no thing i'm loaded, or i was. unrelated but did you know that losing a battle makes you lose half your money because i didn't. i remember some games explicitly stating "you forked over some coin" upon losing but apparently not in this one, leading me to believe i wasn't losing anything
erm does anyone else think this looks kinda one-sided lol... i mean Groudon and Kyogre clearly don't stand a chance against small girl riding on her mouse. what were they thinking with this scene!
