Well that's cool then! Hope you successfully dodge any spoilers before that

Oh, by the way, since we finished it this weekend - if you haven't played it, the game may feel suffocatingly overhyped (I know it was to me - you really couldn't go anywhere without hearing how it's the best game ever), but I wanted to personally recommend Undertale. It's really good. Short, and it takes some time to get really interesting, but really worth your while.

Yeah, same here. But I remember coming close in Diamond due to them introducing the Global Trade Station and Wi-Fi trades through friendcodes. It's thus pretty achievable in the newer games now, but I haven't actually bothered trying that in later gens, as it's pretty time-consuming with 720 Pokemon to collect. It doesn't help that there's a ton of Pokemon that are event-exclusives now.

Awesome! Now that you're done with Saffron, I think you've gotten over the biggest hurdle of the game. I mean, you still have the islands and Victory Road ahead of you, but they never felt as bad as Silph Co to me.

Thanks!

I did so much in Strange Journey yesterday! And it was all much easier than I remember it being! Maya went down very quickly even though she was That One Boss for me back in the day (just like all bosses from Ouroboros onward), then I found the Pale Rider and dealt with him, alignment lock, Cosmic Eggs, beat Mother Harlot, somehow, and then - Zelenin also went down pretty easily! Now I'm level 72 and exploring Horologium. Did almost all of the EX missions so far with only 2 or so left and I got those neat sub-apps that increase money and exp! So things are looking great!

The balance certainly improves with every generation, so that should be nice for you.

That's kind of a shame because the remakes of Pokemon games are always pretty wildly different from the originals (well, aside from the gen1 remakes maybe. Those were pretty by the books). It's a shame they can't be found on reasonable prices. Even if you found Emerald that would be closer to what gen3 is actually like, but I guess it's probably gonna be as expensive as the others.

Still, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are good games. The story is altered and there's tons of new content from gen6 (mega evolutions, exp share, etc.) but it should still all be really fun even if you jump into it right after Silver.

And yeah, Gold and Silver are definitely a step up from generation 1 in every way. Can't wait to see how your playthrough goes for you!

Almost done with Grus~!

Also, all this talk of Pokemon has inspired me to try another playthrough of Black and Black 2. Will probably start pretty soon!

I remember only finding out about SMT IV being out here through a sale going on on the Nintendo eshop, so it was advertised on the front page.
