How long has it been since you played a pokemon game just for fun /vp/? Without worrying about natures, EVs, IVs, or all that competitive bullshit. Just catching the pokemon that you think looks the coolest or the cutest and progressing through the game. You know, all this competitive bullshit has ruined pokemon for me. Just the other day I finished firered with a charizard, vaperon, vileplume, raichu, snorlax, and dragonite. Tried to mix things up a bit, but you know I enjoyed myself. It wasn't a chore. I think some of you should do the same, when you all have a chance. It'll feel quite refreshing.
