>>47152151>Not a single game has ever come close to as comfy and relaxing the Gen 2 titles are.THIS. i feel like johto detractors just don't get this part at all. there is nothing more relaxing than a run through gbc johto.
over the years, i have matured and the imagination i once had has taken a hit. no longer can i take some lego and effortlessly come up with a whole universe in my head, grab a twig in the woods and imagine myself as a medieval knight, or write stupid little fantasy stories on coloured bits of a4. it's just completely gone.
but something about pokemon gsc just sparks that dormant part of my brain up again and i really feel like a child. when i enter azalea town i don't see a splodge of bright green pixels, i see the comfy, secluded village my grandparents used to live. when i delve into ilex forest i don't see a frustrating maze that forces you to squint your eyes to see properly, i see the forests i used to play in as a kid. when i step out into the lake of rage i don't see a blank blue circle, i see the breathtaking and mysterious lake district my parents used to take us on holiday every few years. i can put myself into the adventure and actually imagine what johto might look like.
i know i'm just being autistic at this point and you're all going to tell me to take my meds but pokemon gsc just does something to me. i feel like a child wandering through an unknown world, exactly as it was in real life when i was younger, and i'm always discovering new things. like, i literally just found out a few months ago that mt. mortar was where you got tyrogue. idk how tf i didn't know this until know but it's genuinely an amazing feeling.
i love gen 2 so much and i feel like no one will ever understand.
