I...don't think this is a legitimate Super Nintendo game. I don't see any "Official Nintendo Seal."

Phew, beat Sabrina last night. With my beefed up Gyarados, who was STILL underleveled to be facing off vs Sabrina. I had to keep feeding them hyper potions and hoping for the best - but between a little luck and some dragon attacks (Twister mostly), I pulled off the W.

Five badges in.

Time to snag Fly so I can move around better and try to remember where I go next.

Phew, last night I only played some LeafGreen and plowed my way through the Saffron City Gym.

After handily taking all the other trainers there, I worked my way through Sabrina's team. Then came her level 43 Alakazam, who single handedly beat every single member of my team.

Oof.

Guess it's time to beef up and try again. Got to get that 5th badge.

"Playing games and Pokémon are like eating peanuts! I just can't stop!"

So true.

Current status in Pokémon LeafGreen.

Four badges in. I just freed Marowak from the mortal coil after getting my Silph Scope and defeating Team Rocket in Celadon. I rolled over to Saffron City now with 4 badges and a Silph Scope in my possession and BAM, the town is crawling with Rocket Grunts.

Time to go free the folks at Silph HQ.

But first, I beat the mini-fighting gym and got myself a Hitmonlee. Named it Tony Jaa.

Anyway, let's do this thing!

A dramatic story in two parts from the Celadon City luxury hotel in Kanto.

I don't think I've related less to a character in a video game...

My goodness, could they have done a better job of making your rival incredibly unlikable than they did in Gen 1?

I think not.

Seriously, he's such a ponyta's ass.

Okay, I've been playing quite a bit of Pokémon LeafGreen of late. A lot of it.

It's so much fun.

A few things as my thoughts now that I'm about 3 gyms into it.

1. There's a lot I remember from Kanto from playing Blue and Let's Go Pikachu.
2. There's a lot I forgot about Kanto, despite playing through it a few times in both of the aforementioned games.
3. Not having automatic exp share among all my Pokémon team is killing me and having to go back to putting a weak one up front, then swapping to get them more exp has been such a ride. Haven't done that in so long.
4. I love my Ivysaur, part of me wishes I didn't nickname her Bulba, but it's too late now. And I don't want to change it. We're partners for life now.
5. I still play like I have always played - offense heavy with not a lot of stat based moves. I don't think I'll ever change my playstyle and, since I am not playing competitively, I don't think it matters.
6. Playing a GBA game on my TV is cool. I know I could do it with the original cart and a Gameboy Player for the Gamecube, stop reminding me that I gave mine away like 18 years ago.
