I understand the attachment part though. For my first year getting into Pokemon, I only had Yellow and Silver. I completed Yellow first, and then played Silver a thousands times. I was just at the age where I enjoyed it more. I'd start and restart it over and over again, playing with a slightly different team or moves each time. That's why I also never cared about HGSS as much.
