Decided to create a shelf for Pokemon (Main series) since I replay all the games consistently and they're kinda always gonna be around in my life. Played Pokemon White this summer using an all shiny team consisting of: Samurrott, Leavanny, Zebstrika, Liepard, Bisharp, and Victini.

Played Pokemon White this summer using an all shiny team consisting of: Samurrott, Leavanny, Zebstrika, Liepard, Bisharp, and Victini. Yes, the Victini was hacked in but all the other mons were shiny hunted legitally over the course of the last 2-3 years or so (brutal hunts btw). Anyways, I love the 5th generation. 4th Gen will always be my #1, but Gen 5 is probably 2nd or 3rd. I love the music, the region, the characters, the story, it's all done well here. However, Unova does have a pretty underwhelming pokedex imo. Yes, I know these mons have gained more love over the years, but I can't get behind it. I just think so many of them are bland and undercooked. I loved every team member this playthrough, but when replaying Pokemon Black and White it's hard building a team due to me not liking a majority of 5th gen mons. I love all three starters in this gen (the only gen where I like all three starters), and the legendary trio is top notch. The only challenging part during this playthrough was Lenora at the beginning and N/Ghetsis in the final battle. I'm not sure if I typically struggle on N/Ghetsis since it's been a few years since I last ventured through Unova, but man it took me a few tries. Post game isn't too lengthy here. Went and found all seven sages, rematched the E4, defeated Alder (underrated champ btw), and finally ended the journey by taking on Cynthia. I think it'd be cool to maybe come back to this file someday and take on the Battle Subway so I could fight Ingo and Emmet, but I'm not too concerned with doing that as of now. Gonna play White 2 next, then Y, then Legends Arceus again to prep for Legends ZA. Hopefully I have enough time to get all that done before ZA releases. If not, oh well, Pokemon will always be here for me. These updates are more for my own personal thoughts and a way to help me remember each playthrough. Look forward to more entries for different games in the series!
