Time to revisit Hoenn after initially experiencing it in Omega Ruby... on an original GBA SP, nonetheless! Thank you Pinky...

Just reached the third world. Pleasantly surprised by this game! I just wish playing as a Yoshi didn't mean playing in Easy Mode :(

★★★★★ One of the best F2P games I have ever picked up, likely. There is SO much to do especially in early game, and with Spiral Abyss and a constant flow of events, there is always plenty to do even in end-game. Enjoyable even if you decide to not cash, which is a rarity for gacha games.

The announcement of the impending shutdown of 3DS/Wii U online services is like an alarm clock to me - I should really go and finish my retro Pokémon games so I can transfer my teams and gaze at them in Home :D
I also would love to have a complete dex on Omega Ruby, my first ever main Pokémon game...

...yes I know they said Bank will be around for longer than April 2024, but who knows how much longer exactly...

AAA I totally missed my own ring day! Thank you for the wishes tho!
And yeah it's wild that it's been 14 years. I have changed a lot as a person (literally, in many ways) and as a gamer in that time. I definitely try to not let my backlog deter me as much anymore (for better or worse )
Recently I have started revisiting the DS/Wii and 3DS/Wii U eras, so kinda going back to my Backloggery roots haha
There's just so much I haven't experienced yet on those platforms and I'm changing that

Anyway, hope you've been doing well yourself, and let's talk more than once every few years Hopefully the launch of the site remake will help with that.

Nilou's one of those characters I've always been on the fence about. I love her character and her kit seems fun. But I have no idea where to put her on a team.

Oh, you're a Genshin player, too? That's cool! Though I see you're a PC user of Genshin Impact.

My computer’s mainboard had a shortage.
It gives me more time to explore Spyro again, but heck, I miss Genshin Impact and TrackMania in my life right now…

Hello all! *Group hug* I am in fact still alive and I just finished all the work to update my page.

Initial reasons why I stopped updating my page ~3 years ago were:
1. me returning to my GF and later getting engaged to her, meaning less time for stuff like this;
2. my fear of getting the dreaded Bak'laag badge. I was not being honest about the games I newly purchased and left many aside or just nulled them when I shouldn't have. Ever since, I have learnt that honesty is a key attitude for a human, and that I should really show it towards those close to me, having followed my page and interacted with me over years.
How my progress stands right now is the accurate I can get it according to my definitions for mobile games etc. which you can also check out in my About Me.

On my page, you'll see the following changes in effect:
- Since I am a German living in Germany, all the regional game titles (this especially affects Pokémon and all the weird stuff on game magazine disks) are regional again, instead of my desperate attempts to make them international. More precisely, I will enter the game title just like it says on the cover. This does include a weird example with Pokémon Brilliant Diamond too, which I actually bought from France.
- If a game is in the main console category, I have a physical copy of it or I installed it from a CD or DVD; if it's in "... Downloads", it's only a digital copy.
- Anything marked as ownership "Other" is actually owned by my fiancée. Thus, in the case of cartridges, she has my save data; in the case of PC games, she has the original installation disks which I used to install the game locally. If we ever live together, I'll make sure to change it to "Household".

With all that off my chest, I hope you haven't forgotten about me, and I am looking forward to hearing from you all again!

Ah, good to hear. And yes, EoS is absolutely worth it. That game's ending always has me tearing up, just like Mother 3. I won't say much more than that, but if a game is able to make me, who rarely feels any sort of super strong emotion from entertainment, tear up, then that is a mark of a truly wonderful game to me.

Sleep: Not playing anything
The difficulty is a bit weird, yeah. I remember it went up and down for the whole game, like it couldn't decide if it wanted to be an easy game or an hard one. It mostly depends by the Pokémon in the dungeon, of course, but in Gates and Explorers I barely had any problems after one specific dungeon or boss that annoyed me a lot. Maybe I didn't grind enough?
I specifically remember that boss you mentioned and his dungeon, they were the most annoying part of the game. I hate those Helioptiles that just use Discharge and can hit you from the other side of the room. My partner was Water-type and fell to critical health every time he got hit by Discharge. The other annoying parts for me were the dungeons you traverse as you're fleeing from your hometown and the Beheeyems and everything about Salamence.
You are basically supposed to bring yourself and the partner to every dungeon you enter, otherwise the parts of the story in which you're forced to use them become a living hell... not just because of what happened in the story, I mean.
I don't remember exactly what happens in the story at that point, but yeah, something bad is going to happen to them and countless other Pokémon, and if I recall correctly you're close to reaching that point.
I haven't played a Rescue Team game so I can't compare it to Super. Man, I really should buy Blue Rescue Team from eBay or something... Anyway, I do agree that Super is a bit underrated; most of the fanbase seem to not like it very much. My main gripe with the game is that it starts extremely slowly, even more so than the other games. Really wish that there were a bit less hand-holding. I'm in the huge minority, I know, but I actually really liked the Connection Orb system, and wish it returned if they'll ever make a PMD5 (I have a feeling that they won't). I prefer it to recruiting in the previous 3 games because it's not random, basically, and it's much quicker to get 700+ Pokémon with this than to recruit them in dungeons, one by one. Negative recruitment rates tick me off every time I think about them.
