Immediately thought of Sonic Adventure 2 lol I’ve never met anyone who actually owned a pair (I don’t think they ever made it to Europe but I might be wrong)

The real tragedy here is that with the OP deleted I doubt we’ll get a follow-up. How am I meant to sleep without knowing if this man managed to go three days without shitting??

I totally forgot about Pokemon Shuffle! I remember being really into it for a while, but then hit a wall and it seemed like the only way forwards was to pay so I dropped it. I actually bought the full game for Pokemon Picross because I liked it so much lol

POKEMON RANGER WAS SO GOOD!! I 100%ed the second game multiple times because I loved it so much, the story and characters were so fun and I really appreciated the gameplay changes from Ranger 1 lol… Like I enjoyed the og Ranger a lot too! But boy it was unforgiving lmao

I actually really want to revisit Guardian Signs! At the time I played it (a few years after launch) I didn’t enjoy it, I don’t remember it super well but I remember finding the story lacklustre and the backtracking tedious. ;; But I was also at a time in my life where I just wasn’t as interested in pokemon, I feel like I’d enjoy it if I replayed it now

Omg?? I’ll have to check that out, thank you for the links!!

Good post op!! My first Pokemon game was FireRed and bulbasaur was my first choice too - one day I want to restart my save and soft reset for a shiny one!

I keep two windows side by side: the left one has my email, youtube and sometimes a comic I’m reading or audiobook; the right one has a browser virtual pet game I check every few hours and is where I open new tabs to check lemmy, imgur, etc. Pretty clean! But then the moment I work on either art or coding I open a third window that usually gets to 10+ tabs oops

To be fair to the DS, playing 3D platformers with a d-pad isn’t great lol so I can see why developers mostly stuck to 2D games

Oof I feel you there, I never got any event distribution that was tied to a real life location because they just never did them in the countries I lived in. ;; The wi-fi ones imo mitigated this a bit since you could get them anywhere so long as you had a wi-fi connection, but it is a bummer so many things in these games are now forever locked away due to time

It’s also worth mentioning you can get most (if not all?) event pokemon through wiimmfi! It’s also a lot more reliable than I first assumed, I still regularly play Animal Crossing Wild World with a friend through it and never had a single connection issue
