Today’s game is some more Pokemon Emerald. I’ve been working on the Pokédex the last few days. And when I say working on it I mean really working on it. I’m trying to assemble a living Dex which is my main goal. It’s an interesting challenge, since I sometimes have to catch double. The roaming legendaries have been fun too. I found Latias today for example. I just bumped into it while trying to hatch eggs.
I also bumped into Steven in Meteor Falls. I had no idea you could find him here so that was a pleasant surprise.
That’s something I really like about these older games. I like the open style of the newer games, but with these more narrow style games It feels like it makes more nook’s and crannies to search. Kind of a little more rewarding for snooping around.
So far today has just been catching and breeding. That’s probably what tomorrow will be too just so I can finish it up. Then back them up and figure out what I’m gonna do next this hunt has been a lot of fun. My last complete Dex was Shield, and this feels like a challenge in comparison. It’s like comparing Halo 2 Legendary to Halo 3. Halo 2’s was difficult but so satisfying to do. This game’s Pokédex is similar.
Anyways, so my game-plan for tomorrow is fill out Dex hopefully and pick out another game.
Day 599 approaching the 600 milestone. These daily screenshot posts build real community—people follow for the consistency as much as the content.
I have fun doing these, even if I don’t offer as much content as the other people that are doing screenshots (I admire them for that, I’ve seen just how much planning can go into these).
In a way I like leaving a trail for people to follow and look at for game ideas. Hearing people say they learned about a game through me or decided to try one because of me makes me happy in a way I guess, because I feel like I got to broaden someone’s horizons a little and that’s a good thing. So basically, I like that I’m helping others
