Yeah, I'm liking it more than I thought I would, still disappointed I can't play Silver, as I really did enjoy what I got to play of it.

Apparently it has something to do with a complex algorithm based on their personality, gender, and some other factor, though it would make sense to make it easier on players by setting it so that capturing two of them automatically makes it so they are different.

I've been enjoying it. Oddly enough, despite my dislike of the starters designs, I've actually liked all of the more common mon designs so far. Though I wish Poochyena had a better movelist cause he's kind of underwhelming so far, relaying solely on stats to get the job done, whereas the racoon mon has a lower physical attack but being a normal type lets him get STAB privileges, so he's actually on par or out-damaging the poor thing. I'm digging the seagull mon. The Nut Mon is weird, having Bind instead of standard Scratch/Tackle physical moves makes him interesting to play with, thankfully he gains levels rather easily.

Gen V is apparently the Gen that introduced the most Fire Types, with Gen IV having the fewest.

I caught a Ralts, which appears to be the Abra of this game. I also seriously lucked out and had the two Larva Pokemon I picked up evolve into the different cocoon evolutions, meaning I won't have to farm them to fill out the Pokedex. I also caught what turned out to be a rare Pokemon before Petalburg, some kind of water walker spider thing.

I'm currently trying to level everyone before I move onto the first gym. I've already met the MC's Dad and Wally, who I assume is the rival character in this game.

I've also decided that I'm going to raise a Vulpix to transfer to my copy of Pearl in order to make up for not going with Chimchar and to save me the trouble of having to rely solely on Ponyta for my Fire Type in this game. Looking over it, Gen III doesn't have much in the way of Fire Types either, which kind of surprises me considering Team Magma and all.

He's not bad so far. He's still kind of cute. Shame I don't care for his evolved forms designs.

I've caught a Poochyena, Zigzagoon (who is the most adorable Ratatta expy I've seen in the series) and a Wurmple, whom intrigues me because of the diverging evolution lines.

Well I'll start Ruby in the meantime, not like I need to transfer anything since I can't. Going fire rooster.

I do find it funny that my copy of Blue works perfectly fine, yet a game released later can't hold a save. I guess it has to do with how much love it got. I played through Blue maybe three time now, whereas I'm sure this copy of Silver saw a lot of action if the wear and tear of the cartridge is any indicator. Still, I kind of like the prospect of getting to be Mr. Fix-It again. I'm still proud of myself for replacing my PS3 battery and cleaning out my PS2 after taking it apart.

My only annoyance is that I won't be able to start Silver for awhile. While I have Ruby to play, I was definitely more invested in Silver.

Replacing it doesn't look too expensive, I'm just worried about screwing up the game. I ruined a decent PS2 controller the last time I was trying to replace stuff, but maybe this won't be too hard. It's a less expensive option than trying to buy a new one or getting my hands on SoulSilver cause their prices are ridiculous on amazon.

Thankfully my copy of Ruby had it's battery replaced, though it does mean the cartridge doesn't have the artwork anymore but whatever.

I'm not sure, but I think my copy of Silver might have a bad battery. I played a bit today and I'm pretty sure I saved my file, but when I booted it up later, the file was nowhere to be found. I'm playing again right now, and it did save initially but I'm not sure if it's something where the battery goes out when it's inactive for awhile. I'll find out tomorrow.

My copy of Ruby also showed up, and while the intro was interesting, I really do think Gen III might have my least favorite set of starters in terms of aesthetic. None of them strongly appeal to me.
