Lol, I got a warning for my efforts though.. Slight mishap in breaking a rule I forgot existed.. Oh well.
Funny, I prefer the originals to the remakes. Besides obligatory nostalgia feels, there's the sense that I strive for perfection far too often in Pokémon games. I.e. DP was the last time I went without double checking natures, resulting in stuff like a Calm Infernape and a Bold Lucario.. I think that change of perspective happened when I saw I sent over some critters from LeafGreen to Diamond and I realized that a Sassy Raichu really isn't good at anything it supposed to be good at. GSC to me, are games that I can play without having to worry about anything, no natures, no abilities, no IV's. There were EV's, but I don't bother with them in GSC.
I mean, I've been playing Omega Ruby for 500+ hours and I have arrived at the Pokémon League but haven't faced the E4 yet.
Part of that is the goal that I set: Capture all GenIII pokémon (in a regular Pokéball) and pokémon with a new Mega Evolution (in a Premierball) and train them equally and in a manner that would be viable competitively. So, I've now captured/obtained every GenIII-critter available in the story thusfar (excluding Kyogre, Rayquaza, Jirachi and Deoxys) and I still need to breed a Lileep with a Corsola for Recover, I still need to train the Mega Evolutions that I was only recently able to capture and bred (Weedle, Pidgey, Slowpoke, Audino) and I'm still in the process of breeding the perfect (yes, perfect) Buneary and Onix, which I'd then need to train to level 55, before I'm convincing myself to beat the league.
I only recently went overboard with IV's though.. and I've realized that I shouldn't.
