Since I've been playing Diamond again, I've been thinking of a lot of the things I did on DP (mostly Pearl) back in 2007 or so.
A couple of memories:
-How much time I spent in the Underground. In particular, I remember one day where I stayed home from school due to a headache, then spent the entire afternoon digging stuff up while watching TV. Then, there were many days where I spent my afternoons after school wasting time Underground.
-Winning some (or all?) of the Master Rank Contests in Pearl. I worked on winning them during one week in the summer at my grandparents' house. I remember spending a lot of time collecting accessories in Amity Square, learning how to cook Poffins properly, getting mad and almost throwing my DS when the Contests weren't going my way, and then being really happy when I won a Contest.
Another thing: in 2006, reading news about DP here/on the main site before the Japanese release. It was the first time that I was following news about upcoming games, and I remember it being so exciting.
Wow. 2007? Time flies, huh. I'm expecting D&P remakes any time soon...
I didn't get D&P when they first came out, because I'd been burnt out on Pokémon by that point (rather like Volkner). I wouldn't be able to play Sinnoh all the way until 2015, when I got Platinum.
