not really the end of the road but like when you're replaying pokemon games, what part do you tend to lose your steam and not want to get through? i've been replaying platinum and i just hit the snowy routes and honestly dying seems like a better option rn bc i hate this place. i get burnt out in RSE after i get surf and have to head up to fortree + when i grind for that gym, i just always get so damn bored. in GSC/HGSS, i get in a lull after i finish up ecruteak bc it's just back to back gyms with little in between at that point and the level curve becomes painfully obvious at that point. and XY just starting the game is the lull. got my starter now i'm bored.
