Yeah, that's it. Just had to say it "out loud".
After basically 15 years of a Pokemon hiatus following the release of Diamond/Pearl, I finally am in love with the franchise once again.
I was an avid teenager Pokemon player and had a small group of friends to play that with. We did FR/LG, R/S/E and D/P together back then, and even tried IV breeding and EV training. Good times.
After that, I simply quit Pokemon. I haven't played any games from the 5th, 6th, 7th gen nor the remakes. I actually bought Let's Go Pikachu with my Switch in 2019, but haven't touched it until a few months ago.
After playing that game two months ago, it reignited my passion. I completed the dex with the help of an old friend, who I got in touch with because of the game. He even lent me his Mewtwo, because I plan on trying to reset for a shiny with my Shiny Charm.
Now I own Pokemon Black, Y, Omega Ruby, Ultra Sun and Shield on the Switch. Ultra Sun was beaten, so only a few other left to go.
I am now pretty excited to play all the games I missed and the idea of shiny hunting and EV/IV breeding with the MUCH easier methods seem pretty compelling to me. I'll probably dive into it a bit more.
Pokemon is life.
