Halls of Fame

Diamond (Replay, Incomplete (7th badge then cartridge stopped working???)--Dawne: Empoleon, Staraptor, Pachirisu, Rapidash, Roserade, Lucario

Black (Replay)--Cherrim: (Scrap) Scrafty, (Sandy) Krookodile, (Minipete)Emolga, (Rono) Reshiram, (Nita)Zen Mode Darumaka, (Scallop)Samurott Started 7/1/2014 ended 8/29/2015

Alpha Sapphire (Release run)--April: Chip (Blaziken), Bunnie (Latias), Bolt (Cosplay Pikachu), Geoffrey (Linoone), Silver (Gardevoir), Kah (Masquerian) Started 3/20/2015 and ended 4/3/2015

Moon (Release Run)--Lani: Siren (Primarina), Breakfast (Toucannon), Django (Lurantis), Lita (Incineror), Sabata (Crobat), Trinity (Snorlax) Started 11/23/2016 and Ended 12/18/2016

Replay value: I’ve always found it a bit harder to go for hardware runs over emulated runs sometimes but in terms of DS and 3DS it’s a lot better going with hardware
Diamond: probably not, I think sinnoh’s a lot better in it’s platinum iteration
Black: I would if the game had better placement of some mons without the absurd level requirement because I kind of end up just sticking with the same core team.
Black 2: definitely replayable! It’s one of my favorites in terms of team building and side game stuff like pokewood/pokestar.
Moon: probably not unless I have a lot of free time. It’s a fun game but ultimately replay wise I really wish there was a speed up dialogue button or like a free roaming mode that wasn’t after the main story.

2022 LeafGreen (Gift Pokemon Only)-- Lea Clear Team: Venusaur (Cabbage), Eevee (Tea), Gyarados (Sashimi), Lapras (Onigiri), Aerodactyl (Honey), Hitmonlee (Koikoi) Cleared 6/21/2022
Blue Rescue Team— Anna (Eevee) and Pika (Pikachu) Minimal Run (No purchased items or friend areas) Cleared in December

Leafgreen: Yeah, Pokémon leafgreen’s still a pretty good way to play kanto in a more modern format minus the pretty dumb move to lock Johto evolutions to post game.
Minimal Run: no, PMD 1 is kinda already annoying as is and doing a run where I had to dump all my items per dungeon and pray to RNG that I got good ones made it more tedious.

Digimon Operation Digipedia Gyarados, Vikemon, Hyokomon, MetalMamemon, Budmon, Kyubimon (Gyarados being the only regular mon in the game is funny to me. Bro got lost.) Cleared in July
Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team (Challenge Minimal Run): Pikachu (Churro) and Mudkip (Mud) Cleared in December


Oak’s backup: Yeah, this one was short but simple.
Emerald (Celebi Starter and Randomizer): using a new starter is always fun plus a randomizer means that everything will be unpredictable in a way that throws off your brain that usually has things memorized. I’d do it again, yeah.
Cintrine: the game itself isn’t like, in a state of playable ness and more or less is there for the sheer surrealism I had of seeing all of the stuff across the map and wondering what the connecting glue was even supposed to be. Like the ladder dimension.
Korosu: I would not replay this one, not in terms of difficulty, but because the subject matter was all over the place tone wise. I feel like there’s some things Pokemon shouldn’t really be touching, and this one was one of those. Even though like, the rest of the game is completely absurd like the one guy who gets murked for liking fruit basket or something.
Operation digipedia: it’s Pokémon but with digimon. There’s plenty of these types, they’re pretty fun reskins.

Pokémon reboot: it’s kanto but with new designs to give it a fresh coat of paint! Some designs are hit or miss but ultimately since it’s the same game there’s nothing super wrong with it.
Re: Verse: this sits with Cintrine as one of those games where you gotta take an investigative microscope and figure out what’s going on with it.
Mirage Mew: I love Pokémon red and gen 1 probably as much as I love it’s gen 3 counterpart because they’re mirrors to each other. Who cares that gen 1 is outdated and jank, that makes up for the fun of it. Even in its first iteration you can tell that there was a certain energy put into it to attempt to make something new, the glitches are more or less a side effect. Course I’d replay gen 1!
Dark realm: this game was less about the battles for me and more about the destination of seeing where the heck the story was going because like after seeing the dinosaur island and the helicopter PNG I was like “okay I’m invested, where the HECK is this story going” even though stories are subjective
Moe…? : I don’t know why this one was in the download batch since I just used a zip file of games initially but it’s like touhoumon but with gijinkas is the impression. I didn’t really get it, I wouldn’t play another one, it’s only here because I had the single screenshot on my computer. As for ultra violet itself, I liked that it let me have trade evolutions without the need to trade but I think I need to finish a regular run of ultra violet so I can give my full evaluation on the game as is and not this thing.

Pokemon X (1st game run, Kalos Mons Only)--Ciel (Clou) Chesnaught, (Passieri) Talonflame, (Alphonse) Meowstic, (Inciender) Delphox, (Nara) Florges, (Ange) Aurorus Cleared 3/26/2024

Postgame E4 Rematch (Cleared 7/20/24): Destroyer (Granbull), Benson (Diggersby), Mizu (Blastoise), Xiaoyu (Pangoro), King (Hawlucha), Blade (Aegislash)


Pokémon X: So-so on this one. Nothing wrong with X and Y but no real reason for me to return to Kalos anyways in terms of like… I think my personal preference for Pokémon games are ones that I can pick up and not feel like I’m lost or go “what was I doing again?” It’s why I liked the journal feature in Diamond so much. My impression of X is I might’ve enjoyed it more when online was a thing and it came out on release but since it’s not I kinda feel less inclined to return to it outside of maybe a challenge run and playing Amie. All style but less substance, like I nearly beat the e4 with just blastoise mega evolving.
