/vr/ - Retro Games

I was one of the borderline "Too Old" kids when it came out. Competitive battlan in 2000 when I was in the 8th grade. I knew it was unbalanced and goofy but loved it anyway. My self-conscious tagline of that era: "NO THE GAME IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN THE SHOW. THE SHOW SUCKS, I HATE IT. IT MAKES US LOOK BAD." Stopped playing around 2003, (started chasing girlies and getting some wang-dang sweet poontang, pokemon was a game killer at that point.) Picked it back up again when Diamond/Pearl came out. Went back and played every game through in order. 1st gen is best for the feels. 4th gen is best for mechanics and battle metagame. 5th and 6th gen have been little better than meh.
