Boo hoo

A handshake

I don't get how people can replay Pokemon games over and over. The story is always pretty bad and using different mons is not even that different when you just press stab anyway. The only fun parts are when you engange with the community at the start of gens or play comp/ shiny hunt.

The novelty of playing on original hardware actually kinda carries how slow the games are for me.

fastforward on delta is so good, but i hate that it ruins the music

>you had to beat 252 caterpies to fully ev train in the DS/GBA era

>>58013301 (OP)
So you only use official speed up methods?

>>58013369
>implying you need to EV train at all to beat these piss easy games
Holy skill issue

>Fried your brain so much you can't play ~6 hour long games without speed up

I've always played them with someone else, it's super fun to go through the game and have rival battles.

Part of the appeal to the old games was how long they were. It made the relationship you built with your Pokémon feel a lot more important.

>>58013369
Wrong. You just had to beat 32 Jigglypuff.

I mean when the games are objectively shit then yeah.
