>>52765421I stopped playing pokemon at Black and White and I'm still unsure if I have any desire to get back into mainline when I get the chance to, but yeah this is fun as hell.
I still haven't finished it - because yes it gets repetitive if you're trying to do everything and fill the pokedex during your playthrough - but I picked it back up again last week where I left off in the coastlands and I've been having a great time again. Adventuring through the icelands during christmas season is peak comfy
Also I know why Ingo was so popular now. Getting to him with his lore/angst is a nice reward for getting to the second half of the game. I like how the dialogue options lets you headcanon your protag as being amnesiac as well or not. (Or in my case, has trouble remembering but pretends to not know a thing to Volo because she doesn't trust him)
