>>58589383I put like 200 hours into XY just trading online and in person, and breeding and training and whatnot and only got 6 badges. It was a lot of fun especially with the active online and threads on /v/ dedicated to trading friend codes and whatnot. I stopped because I got burnt out, basically, and didn't end up going back.
Recently because of Kalos in ZA I wanted to go back, and checked my save. It was in Dendemille town which I barely remembered cause it was one of the last things I did. When I loaded up my save after not touching it for almost a decade I thought how charming the place is and how nice the routes around it are, I definitely remembered how they were filled with fallen leaves the last time I played.
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna back up my save and play Y fresh with a difficulty romhack.
