Nothing has changed, then. xD
I want cats, and I will have kittens when I get my own place, but I've never been allowed cats. I had two bunnies, though!
You'd be surprised at how much of a game you forget, yeah. All I remember is that I'm not ready to do the Rocks from The Lost Age again quite yet, aha. I typically play Sonic Advance on my GB Micro when I'm out anyway, it's easier to pick up and put down. Did you ever fight the Dullahan in the second game? If you did, you got them all. If not...lucky you. I only won by summon spamming him, and even then he pummelled me several times. Ugh, Arcanus. That sucked. Although I AM very interested in Amiti; he's blatantly Alex's son...
I don't mind the back and forth digivolution; it's easy if you just stagger it so you always have one Digimon at a high level. Makes levelling much more convenient, actually. I'm working on Impmon in Cyber Sleuth at the moment for a BlackGatomon...LadyDevimon, Myotismon and Lucemon would make a nice team, ehehe. Mother and I only really use one another as trade partners, otherwise we do our own thing in the games...I've never been one for battling, and neither has she. xD
Have you played any of the later titles? I've thought about buying IV or V from time-to-time, but I don't really like the whole presentation. Like one of those awful modern street trash movies. xD
HibiKana villains would be awesome, haha. I liked Michiru and Kaoru in Splash Star, the problem was that they didn't really have separate identities (or any identity for that matter) so anything would be an improvement. This season is going to be treading very thin lines in the fandom, I think. It's got Madoka to compete with as well as HeartCatch, and I think a lot of people are going to tear it to pieces before its through. As long as it doesn't turn into another Dokidoki I think it'll be enjoyable, though.
