Comment on Day 594 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing
MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 1 week agoI’ve never touched actually Red and Crystal. I plan too at some point but those generations I’ve never been big on. I almost considered the rereleases because I know my friends would probably shell out the 20$, and having friend to play with would almost justify it for me and motivate me to play it. But I just couldn’t justify the purchase to myself (plus I found out all my friends that are still local are passing on it). Maybe if it ever goes on sale for cheaper, but being digital only and 20$ makes it hard for me to look at it.
Also, yeah, I’m in the same boat with waning motivation. I almost filled out the Hoenn Dex in Omega Ruby but just got overwhelmed when I accidently unlocked the National Dex.
I saw the mudkip only challenge on RA, I kind of want to attempt it once I finish my base game run. It’d be a fun challenge.

Even though Black and White were newly out by the time I got into Pokemon, the only one I had growing up was my older brother’s Blue. So I’ve always been a fan of the originals even if they’re missing a LOT of polish, though the gen 3 remakes like Leaf Green are much better in about every way. I mostly just did Gen 1 and 2 for the nostalgia and RA achievements.
I just pirated the ROMs and played them on RetroArch. I’ve owned the physical games before, and, personally, I’ll never feel bad pirating from Nintendo regardless.
The mudkip vs the world challenge is pretty fun (I got to the 5th gym before deciding to pause it), but from what I saw in the discussions board, a certain post-game(?) section is absolutely brutal to an unfair degree and is like 99% of the challenge’s difficulty. I saw people recommending keeping mudkip leveled as low as possible since trainers there scale with you, and to stock up on tons of the PP-restoring berry. So I look forward to whatever the hell is up with that whenever I continue.
