Pokemon Gameplay Log. Covers Main games, ROM Hacks/RPGMaker, Spinoffs and other. If I go in depth into a game, it gets it's own journal. Cleared and Complete Games go to the Hall of Fame.
So I'm retiring the gameplay journal's older entries to a new page, because I feel like they don't really reflect the way that I am when looking through games and media anymore. Plus I was getting burnout. So maybe I'll be back to the big game pile, but I'm not gonna force myself to just play pokemon exclusively to try ang get something out of it.
I've cleared another run of emerald rogue but I won't update my hall of fame until Feburary when I have more photos.

What if the reigon was tiny?
It's an adorable concept.
Gym battles are all in a row, trainer battles work a bit like that too since the routes are so small that all battles are pretty much mandatory now.
Wally is in place of your rival for the entire run, they're just gone now. It's an interesting way to build up his team since otherwise he only has 3 battles in base emerald.
Some of the small additions are real neat.
Like the trick master room is now just a long hallway
Backtracking's not a big problem since everything is so small you can just run through all of Hoenn no problem! Kind of makes me appreciate how tight the gameplay loop is of pokemon like it's an equivalent to emerald rogue minus the randomization elements.
I'd love to see how other games would be handled in this "mini" format to be honest, when you strip everything down to its bare essentials and still have a fun experience that's a good way to start off!
I’m reducing the number of hacks down to a select amount so I don’t get selection paralysis These ones I already had on Delta. I've reduced the number down even further.
Also don’t forget to finally start RPGXP games (maybe next year?)
