It looks like they've included a lot of fun stuff in this DLC, hopefully there aren't any tedious material grinds attached to the new activities.

I used to get really excited to hear the credits music in Red and again in Silver. Finding a Pikachu in Viridian Forest would get my heart racing. I got excited for a lot of little things when I was a kid. I once randomly threw a turn 1 Pokeball at Giratina in Platinum and caught it, that was a...

I recently learned about some legendaries that I'd never heard of before. I legit thought that Zeraora was some furry's OC when I first saw a picture of it.

Not at all, except for the Ash x Misty tension being entertaining/cute in S1.

FRLG and HGSS were such big improvements to the gameplay experience that I can objectively say they are improvements. Yet now that they're all "retro", I prefer playing the originals for the pure nostalgia factor.

Unskippable cutscenes/grueling sequences of dialogue Exp Share Weather exclusive encounters Gimmick battle mechanics (mega, z-moves, dyna, tera, etc.)

I usually try to get my two 6-star raids done each day for the chance at rare drops, occasionally on the weekend I'll try to complete all of the raids on my map (only successfully did this one time). Lately been kinda lazy and only doing events.

Off Kilter

I remember playing Super Mario World on the SNES as my very first video game.

Blatantly copied this from you and won after a couple of rolls with bad ally mons. I was successful on my third attempt when I got Staraptor, Arcanine, and Umbreon as teammates. Without the intimidates, I was getting OHKO'd before I could get off Gastro Acid. With good luck, this may be...

I think you're close to an answer here. The best way to introduce someone to Pokemon with longevity of their interest in mind is to start by introducing them to the world. Long-term interest in the series is usually founded on a love for the concept and the world itself rather than the games. If...

There's always the possibility that we have entered the era of the Pokemon "multiverse" where the world no longer needs internal consistency between games. Maybe the Hisuan Pokemon went extinct, or maybe it's just a different version of the past.
