The first pokemon game I bought with my own money! It was a good game and it was really cool but I didn't really care for the fact that they got rid of gyms and gym leaders. The stones were cool but overall it is a weaker pokemon game. Some of the new mons are really cool though. Team skull …

after many years I finally decided to play this game. I don't know if I'm too old for this kind of games because I'm really not liking this game at all. This is easily the worst pokemon game I've ever played. enter image description here

Much improved from Pokemon X/Y and I had a blast playing this when it came out. The story and setting was quite fun.

I played this game for about 2-3 hours, put it down and never played it again. I am almost certain that will not change.

After realizing how Pokemon transfers work between games, I realized that I need to put this bad boy on the back burner. Originally, I started my series playthrough with this Sun/Moon, since the online content was still ongoing. Then I realized that I don't really do much with that content. I imagine I'll login from time to time to collect free stuff if I can.

So, I'm now playing old school Pokemon Crystal so I can migrate my critters up through the series.

Well this is still my main game, but I am going slowly and I'm tempted to bounce to other games. That's always a problem though, with games like this. Still, I am going to push forth on my Pokémon Adventure! So far I have 15 registered 'mons in my Pokédex and the in-game playtime is 4:49.

I am starting a fresh playthrough for I think maybe the 3rd time. I have trouble sticking with games, but I am really working at trying to get better about the old backlog. So lets do this! A few notes just for record keeping: I am starting on a fresh save on 3/28/2018. On the 3DS Activity Log it says I have a playtime of 8:28 (from the past two times I started this game), 25 times played, and an average playtime of 20 minutes. I first played Pokémon Moon on 11/19/2016!

My results from the most recent Pokemon Sun & Moon online competition. These are my best results yet; I'm becoming a real Pokemon master! enter image description here My Rating Battle results from the previous season aren't as good though; probably because I only played to practice for this competition! enter image description here

Completed the Alola Pokedex yesterday. First time I've done so. I really appreciate all of the changes made to this game to make it easier and more fun to do tasks that felt like chores in previous games. enter image description here

My results from the Alola Friendly. I did just a little bit better in this competition. Slow and steady, I guess. enter image description here
