Believe it or not, I actually have never played any of the pokemon games. My younger brother left one in this Gameboy so maybe I will give it a try.

@@ferretsensei I'll say it aged terribly, but growing with it, with the whole phenomenon surrounding it, it's really an artifact of its time. I'd recommend playing either the remakes of the first two gens or, a controversial opinion, but I think the let's go games on switch removes a lot of the tedium associated with those game. While young me would have hated it, grown up me loved it. I already crunch spread sheets all day long, no need to do it again at home. (funnily enough, I am still obsessed with satisfactory in spite of this, go figure)
