Dark Rising; Never completed it as the level gain was asinine. I mean I like a challenge but level 99 trainers before the final gym is just that, asinine.

I played B and W2. Black was to me the better version. White 2 was playable but the story bored me at points despite being a somewhat improvement on Black in terms of features.

9 years old. I had a DS that year and bought Diamond the next year.

Pokemon yellow was my first; my friend gave it to me like many other games I had.

For the most part my methodology is to have a resistant type to most types. So I have what types I want pre-determined. As far as picking the actual pokemon the general idea is to have an aggressive attacking team with ~2 for defense/taking hits. The defensive types are for just reviving in...

Team Galactic. Team Rocket was boring whilst Team Galactic brought undoubtedly the best storyline in a pokemon game.. It isn't a contest.

If you've fought red as you probably knew when the battle commenced Red is amazingly tough and a worthy foe. The fight, to me is clearly legendary. Hell the fight just to get up there makes for a very gratifying feeling after you finally beat the best in the game arguably, the series. The...

I wouldn't say there's no love for it. I honestly tried to have a Beedrill in my party back in yellow but it was a hindrance on my success hence it was replaced by ? (I can't remember... It's been too long). The problem is that it as stated can be destroyed by anything. I like Beedrill it has a...

To me the apex in terms of longevity was and will most likely always will be Platinum. But that's less due with extra things to do and more so the level curve (granted there were events, like darkrai's and arceus's azure flute if you had AR). GSC was good at immersing you into the world. And...

Hardest: Whitney. Even when I play her today with (presumably) better knowledge of the game than I had as a kid I run into the same issue.. A lack of fighting type pokemon or a lack of trained fighting types to help me destroy the Miltank. Whilst most of the game is a breeze and I never use...

Umbreon. I always got/get Alakazam for my physic type. The reasons for that are separate but Umbreon was the missing link in my torrid team at that moment in time.

I caught all three later in the remakes however in my ~10 playthroughs ten to eleven years ago, on the GBC/GBA I didn't. I tried to but whenever I did eventually see them they'd either run away or I'd kill them by mistake.
