I picked up my Y save from years ago. I put it down because I was getting filtered by Grant and life got in the way. And I have to say, while it's not particularly hard, I do appreciate that there's at least a certain level of difficulty with little to no handholding. Why doesn't Gamefreak do this anymore? I love running into wild Pokemon that hold berries and having to search hard for rare mons like the elemental monkeys(I need these things for my HOME dex desu). But right now this seems like peak Pokemon and I adore it. I'm not going to progress any further until I see my friend on Sunday and use his 3DS for memory link, but I'll just explore a little more and train up my mons, I neglected to do that when I initially got the game.

I also want to say that this is the first time I've decided to use the magnemite and zubat lines for a main game playthrough. Not sure why I never used them before. I mean I know why I didn't in Gen 1, because zubat was a shitmon before crobat and magneton was outclassed by raichu and jolteon. I guess I don't have an excuse for skipping on crobat in Gen 2 and beyond though. I've also heard this is the game to use a magnemite as well.
