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?

Yup. Especially with The Arrival DLC.

Woah you know what? I think when I got it on 360 I didn't get any of the DLCs. Just a special edition that gave me a...nuke launcher? Lol

Here the remastered trilogy is just sitting in my library...I need to finally get to it!

Oh yeah. The DLC doesn't add an incredibly large amount of content, but there are a lot of awesome nuggets in there. The Citadel DLC for ME3 is flipping hilarious and incredible, too. Easily adds 10-15 hours of gameplay. Wrex's "MOAR ICE" lives rent free in my head as one of the funniest ME moments ever.
