Thanks, it's going good! my first experience with Pokémon was Colosseum, and then watching my brother play Black 2 and played it a bit my self, but the first game i owned was Diamond, which i never finished and handed over to my little sister, and didn't play until i got Moon and have since been far more interested in it. As for my favorite game, i think i'd only be right to say Sun/Moon or Ruby/Sapphire, as those are the only ones i've finished, but if we count side series, i think that Colosseum would be a contender as well, as it was what introduced me to Pokémon. On the topic of Sword & Shield, while it seems to be a new experience that introduces a new part of the Pokémon world, due to GameFreak's decisions and evident lack of care, i don't see myself being all too exited about the games. I hope to find new joy out of Pokémon games by spending time here, if my wording is correct.
Thanks! i'm watch the show, but i don't know of any way to watch Japanese episodes, so i'm not very caught up past US releases. I play the games as well, but have only finished Sapphire, Moon and Ultra Sun, haven't trained any Pokémon to lv. 100, don't shiny hunt, and don't competitively battle, so i don't consider myself to be much of a hardcore fan than i am interested in the world and ideas it presents, i would like to do more with the games, though.
