>>31856804Honestly it was the internet that fucked things up for me. Having information so easily and readily available. I'll never forget having put many hours into the post game thinking I found everything in sapphire (caught latias already) then all of the sudden...
>find an opening in the rocks while surfing>wtf, I don't remember this>Continue surfing through the opening to find unexplored dry land. >holy shit>I work my way up the sky tower to find MOTHER FUCKING RAYQUAZA>HOLY FUCKING SHIT!best fucking experience playing this franchise. I remember I couldn't decide if whether I should call my best friend and tell him about or if I should explode his head by surprising him with a fucking rayquaza in a friendly battle next time we met. Its part of the reason I love r/s/e so much. Now a days its much harder to be surprised like that. You know a shit ton about games before they're even out. Yea info is great, but it takes the fun out of certain things. My bro and I had to bust out and encyclopedia to learn braile to get the regitrio. Nowadays we would just look up what the fuck the messages said instead of going through the trouble to figure them out. Funner times back then. I'm sure being young and oblivious made things surprising and fun, and growing up does take away some from that. But I think more and more information all the time has a bigger part to do with it.
Thanks for bringing back some memories OP, gonna sleep comfy now.
I called my friend soon after catching fug so he could catch him too
