>>32869393It's the same with me. I have tried several times to stop playing Pokemon because I felt like I have grown too old for it, but I still keep on coming back to it anyway because it has helped me go through a lot of dark times in my life. Sinnoh and Unova in particular really helped me through those times. And it really isn't pathetic, I'm sure there are plenty of other people out there who are just as thankful about how much Pokemon has helped them through and through.
That sounds like a fun idea! I haven't checked Wi-fi General yet, but it's something I should go to sometime. Battling and trading with other people in Gen 6 games are so much fun.
I'm one of those people who create Pokemon OCs. Not trainers, but stuff like you'd see in Mystery Dungeon. I know Pokemon OCs are looked down upon, and there are times where I tried to stop writing them and move on to new characters, but I still love to write and draw them even after 6 years. The Pokemon OCs I write/draw the most are a Sawk and a Mienshao, but so far neither of them have names.
