Take some time to think, /vp/.

We have all been through our games, we all know what our favorites are. Each of us will stick to what we believe about it, but at the very core of everything, it's all shared. Shared because we, at some point, no matter if the spark is there still or has died down, shared something.

We all loved pokemon, /vp/, and this is a question that goes back. To the time where - you know what time it was - you simply realized where it hit you. What is the thing you love more between all that pokemon has brought us, /vp/?

Is it just exploring?
Getting stronger?
Finding out new pokemon on areas you wouldn't expect them to be?
Or was it as simple as wanting to beat that douchebag the first time he got the type advantage?

It'll be different than the others....But it's all connected. Tell us your line on this story.
