I lapsed a little around Gen 3, too, but Gen 4 brought me back. To imagine falling out of it again, and this time because of sheer incompetence, laziness, and outright neglect from the people who make it?
Yeah. That stings a little.
Friends get older and leave. People die. You leave home and go to a strange place where you don't know anyone and start over. Life took me to some odd places and changed a lot, and it was always a comforting thought that, no matter what else changed, Pokemon never did, and it was always there.
