>Within 2 years pokemon games stop being enjoyable to me, it becomes stressful as I try to get 45 min of "acceptable" play in each day in less than 5 hours.
>Just wanna enjoy pokemon again
>Can't
>Get urge to do a nuzlocke
>"Y'know what? For this nuzlocke I just won't have autism rules, they just get in the way, they add nothing and don't even make the experience more satisfying to me"
>Start up HeartGold nuzlocke
>Rn I'm in Azalea, 6:30 hours in and I just been playing freely, no autism, just bonding with my pokebros and enjoying our adventure
>Been having a literal fucking blast
WTF? IT WAS THIS FUCKING EASY THE WHOLE TIME?? I haven't enjoyed pokemon THIS much since I was a fucking kid. I have diagnosed OCD, how was it THIS easy? God I can't believe I ever had autism rules, it really doesn't make the games more enjoyable at all, and moreover it's like 70% of what was "different" from how it felt to play as a kid it seems. Very pleased rn.
