I know you asked me to do it ten years ago, Professor Oak... and they added a couple hundred new species since then... but that's fine - I still finished it. I finally completed the Pokedex 100%.

I feel so accomplished.

Good job.I can never do this crap.

Now write a fan fiction where you turn into pokemon.

I got the same satisfied feeling after I re-did my Magic deck and subsequently beat my friend who has many more years' experience than me in a fair game.

NEEEEERD

Sometimes, you have the best responses.

I got all 151 with Red, realized it was an empty accomplishment (seriously, you get nothing other that a half-assed word of recognition), so I deliberately caught Missingno, fucked my game to see what happens, and restart, only catching the ones I wanted.

It's not like I was expecting an award for filling my dex. I really don't expect an award most times when I do something like that in a game. I just do it for the satisfying feeling of having done something like catch 718 different species of monsters. Anything extra is just a fun little bonus.

I'm totally not knocking your own personal sense of satisfaction. :P I'm just relating my own younger self's experience and utter disappointment at Oak's utter inability to give a fuck. I thought he would have done something similar to beating the Elite 4, thank me for fulfilling his lifelong dream, give me an item like a unique TM (or Pokemon, a level 50 that was Oak's first Pokemon or the unclaimed starter would have been awesome).

But nope. Up yours, you jaded, uninterested old fuck.

I would be proud.

...If I played Pokemon.

*Prepares for the stones after saying I have never played Pokemon before*

Question, as this is already pokemon-based, should I get Pokemon X/Y? Just wondering if it's good for someone new to the Pokemon series to start with.

People have look in the data of those games, and it turns out.

Oak was going to be a trainer battle, the hardest one in the game.

And he would use what ever starter that was never picked.

Who knows - maybe Oak just never thought those kids would actually fill the dex like he said, and he just wanted to give them a sense of adventure or something.

I'd say X/Y's a very good installment of the series, yes. Some people criticize how weak the Elite Four (final battles) were in that game, but I guess that's good for someone new to the franchise. Oh, and the exp share thing makes creating a balanced team real easy, so that's a plus. Good for getting you used to the Pokemon formula and just letting you enjoy the storyline and gameplay.

Also X/Y is filled with callbacks and tributes to the first couple games so you can't act like you skipped the classics outright, I guess.

Edit: Also X/Y features TONS of Pokemon from the earlier generations (as opposed to, say, Black/White which were almost entirely new Pokemon, at least in the earlier game) so yeah that's a plus.

Mewthree.
