Not as good as the usual, but I'm no state of physical pain and I'm living in a comfortable house with a family that loves me, so it cannot be described as bad.
I just stick to the original Gold and Silver. Can't afford a DS.
Are you saying you nicknamed it "S.Suikun"? Heck, you should build an entire team of Pokemon who are nicknamed after forum members. (Name the Magikarp after someone who annoys you.)
