Yeah, it's my first time with it. Even as a check list it's an insane amount of content. I'll need a detox with something smaller afterwards!
Also, I like the hard stuff but subsets help keep that sorted so it doesn't scare people away. White 2 has a challenge mode that was bugged at release but the RA patch fixes it. It's not too hard and it's kinda fun being challenged in Pokemon for once since I used to play competitively and actually know some strategy, haha.
Nice, totally with you on using RA as a checklist for these games (especially after multiset). It feels a bit more guided, especially as they add more and more gimmicks over the years. In post game, it's practically essential.
White 2 is still kicking my butt because it's just so, so much stuff. Emerald at least is probably a bit more tame. I've still got to beat battle subways, star in movies, beat the Elite 4 with every type, and do every post game tournament including battles with all previous games gym leaders... Plus a 400+ Pokemon capture/evolve/breed list which is just the White 2 only dex entries.
And yet, if you have any illness you actually should still take that day off to recovery. Capitalism doesn't let us, but it's still good practice as you may be contagious and infect your coworkers as well as the kind people on public transit.
Ah... I kinda miss quarantine. Healthiest time of my life without people giving me the flu every fucking year.
Yes, but when I had a 7 recently it was hard to aim. The whole shower looked like a Jackson Pollock.
