It's an amazing game! I never felt pressured to collect all the beasts, but at the same time looked forward to trying to level the cassettes up! If they ever do sequels, I hope they figure out an alternative solution to what is now Pokemon's massive design strength/flaw.

Oh man, are you talking about the OG town or the High Def update?

And my Axe! ...oh are we not doing that anymore?

Yes, this was exactly how I felt when playing Fire Emblem Engage. God. I hated how the hub world basically sucked an equal amount of time for each map I cleared. Sure, the mini-games are optional,But so is brushing your teeth.

I may be getting older but it feels like a lot of games are just padding their runtime with gameplay that doesn't mesh well at all.

I'm....not sure if that's a thing I'd be boasting about.

Sorry, a little bit OOTL. I remember about Chrome making adblock-blockers. But could someone explain the relation to youTube?

Sounds like Singapore.

It's okay friend. You're here, you can start now 👋
