  • I had a long travel weekend and extreme jet lag have made playing Crystal (or anything, really) and yeah this is a little late. But we need to quickly discuss the Nintendo leak from last week, since I sort of missed all this while I was on vacation. I’m sure you already know about it,…

  • Getting through the Elite Four still isn’t easy, but I was able to train up some of my new (and original party) Pokémon by beating the big 5 again. I still cannot survive a hit from the Alakazam’s killer Psychic and anything basically from the final lvl 50 Dragonite that Lance throws out there. But…

  • I am just 2 badges shy of the full set now. I hurried a little more than was necessary to get myself to Mt Moon for the Monday night Clefairy display (which, unfortunately for me, only works in the Monday part of Monday night: if you look on Bulbapedia and other walkthroughs which all copy…

  • What happened to the Crystal play through? Nothing: I’m getting Pokemon to trade up into Crystal in order to complete the Pokédex. I did not actually want to waste a lot of time with a Gen 1 play through because I might like to revisit a game one day for a proper play through to…

  • Greetings from Colorado, where I am suffering from extreme spring conditions on this mountain. If anything, this might be ‘summer skiing’. Even though all my favorite trails are closed, I’m still happy to be in the sun and what is left of the snow. I am, however, supremely jet-lagged and cannot think about anything but…

  • Last time we left off at the very start of the end game fun. Seems a little premature to call something as expansive as Kanto just the ‘end game’; surely we should call it ‘late game’? Even that feels wrong with so much more to come. But anyway, I ended up deciding to start with…

  • Was hoping to have this out on Friday but sadly was working late. Originally I was thinking lucky us: two Friday the 13ths in a row! But maybe that is where my bad luck came from. We will never know. I don’t want to blame my creepy number 13, though. I’ll blame the clients. Unfortunately,…

  • This play through is taking waaaaay to long- anyway, hello! I haven’t been feeling very good about anything for the last week but I am going to keep all that for my Livejournal or whatever and just continue to talk about video games here. The grind is slow going, as I said it would be…

  • Yes, I had big gaming plans for the weekend, but I have severely deficient in Vitamin D and needed to spend as much time as I could outside. So I played some Pokemon Go. And the rest of the week got away from me as it always does, but at least I did some billable…

  • I caught Suicune! It has been so long since I played Crystal (and, more importantly, Gold, which was my real Gen 2 500+ hour game), that I actually forgot how and when the legendaries come into play. I think that Suicune was like the other dogs in that it was let lose after the Burned…
