I got soul silver with a 2ds and I gave it to my nephew and the little motherfucker loved it. Never played it myself.

That's why it costs more than a new Pokemon game lol. Though I heard once that gen 2 Pokemon aren't in a lot of the newer games and heart gold/soul silver are the only way to get them

my gamer confession is that i think ruby/sapph/emerald were better overall vs g/s/c

only thing i wish r/s/e had was traveling to kanto/johto and fighting red/blue/etc, that was awesome

gold is my second favorite but i think heart gold was a little disappointing for me because they didnt fix the weird rear end level curve. still cool game though i wish pokemon could follow you around still

I never played Pokémon either, I'm just old enough that it wasn't a thing yet when I was a kid. Maybe if my kids get into it in a few years I'll dive in with them. They already know more Pokémon than I do from watching their mother play GO.

I completely agree - I always thought gen2 was the best (gen3 wasn't bad though), so after playing HG I totally agree that it's the optimal Pokémon game. Very satisfied with the way they re-did it.

As for my gamer confession, it's remarkably similar to this:

trying to jack off posted:

i got a bunch of pc games including my copy of starcraft in the late 90s/early 2000s by renting them from a video store and registering the cd keys
However I never registered any keys online, as I only played single-player games and over the LAN up until I was around 20, when I finally got an internet connection that isn't poo poo. (good ol' semi-rural/suburb-outskirts living, in South Australia. Had dial-up for quite some time before that too, before moving up to a terrible 2GB broadband deal)

However I feel that I've more than made up for it now, seeing as I buy so much on Steam despite always going back to Crusader Kings 2, anyway :downsgun:

it wasn't really a bad game, but the ai seemed to pull snes Mario kart style cheating. The race that got me was a 1v1 where the player had to beat a Bugatti with a Shelby GT. The Bugatti is faster in a straight line but I had a one second lead within 5 seconds of the finish line and the other car sort of effortlessly beat me by a fraction of a second lol.

For me it was I was 1v1ing Borsche and I was close to him but I started lagging really bad but I had nasty LG on his rear end and then all of a sudden he appeared behind me and I stood out of my chair and yelled WHAT! and slammed my hand on the keyboard and then I had to /forfeit and spend 10 minutes finding all the keys.
