I’ve got all theses already but I’m not transferring everything to HOME cos I do replay the games and it’s nice to take shinys, exclusives etc along for the ride.
Making progress in Baldurs Gate. The dreaded chess board is coming up. Transferred a whole lot of Pokémon from GO! to Lets Go Pikachu! and got a gym badge.
I do have fond memories of playing my 3DS. Just yesterday I was playing Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. Memories. Misty water-colored memories of the way we were.
@RabidPikachu That’s a huge amount of work, grats! That’s a shame you lost so many. I was so worried when Home bugged out on me on release. Thankfully I got em all back though. My first shiny was from the Togepi egg in Crystal. For the longest time I thought the special animation was just because it had hatched from the egg.
I’ve got 380+ (different species) which is a reasonable amount since I’ve been playing since red/blue.
They are easier to obtain in GO! but only Gen 1 can make thier way to Home atm. I’m pretty happy with the rarity. I think the balance is right.
@Smashmatt202
Have you ever played The Chaos Engine or Shadowrun? Just a couple recommendations not on your SNES list. The Super Star Wars games are excellent too.
For NES, Green Beret is one of my all time favourites. I love Karnov - great pick! 👍
@EarthboundBenjy I’m just looking at the top games of 2006 and I didn’t buy any except Animal Crossing on DS. I was heavy into World of Warcraft at that point and wasn’t playing (or doing) much else. The more things change...
