For 90s kids, there's no need for explanation. For others, well, pokemon was a phenomenon. It was everywhere, on TV, in magazines, toys, stickers. You could trade pokemon at the school excursion on the bus.
You felt alive in this world, pokemon gen 1-2 were the pinnacle of pokemon for me. And in gen2, finishing the game, and lo and behold, there's a whole other region (kanto) waiting for you to explore it. The night cycle in the game blew my mind in ways that I have been chasing ever since.
I know it will never be reached again, but the memory will remain as powerful as it was that evening of the early 00s. What is your greatest gaming high, that you know will never be topped again, and that you have been chasing ever since?
I was late to planetside starting in 2018, then a haitus and then playing the shit out of it from 2020-24
Getting a level 80 asp 2 NSO (I’m not insane I’m not insane)
But for me I suck at the game, drift my ~~pancake~~ dervish over a lib and perfect swing around keeping my Gub trained in him at all time
