Old player trying to get back into pokemon

[Leobolt]

Hello everyone, I am sorta new to this forum but certainly not new to pokemon. I have been playing on and off for the last 20 years or so currently trying to complete the pokedex for let's go eevee only have about 6 more pokemon to go to get the shiny charm. I also have shield where I'm trying to masuda breed a eevee before I start training up a team to try battling competitively again for the first time since platinum, I look forward to trading and battling with people soon.

Welcome back!

I'm in the same boat as you.

I'm 31 years old and haven't played a single Pokémon game since I was 8-9 years old playing Pokémon Red and Blue on my Game Boy and Yellow on my Game Boy color.

I just found my Game Boys and Pokémon games while boxing things up for a move and the nostalgia encouraged me to buy Pokémon Sword & Shield for my Nintendo Switch.

OMG! I have had so much fun! The nostalgia and charm I had long forgotten had me smiling and giggling like a little boy throughout the entire play through of both games (Sword & Shield are almost identical so I basically played the same game twice but I still loved it).

Now I've decided to try to complete the PokeDex for once and I'd like to do some trading so I joined this forum.

I hope getting back into Pokémon brings you the joy it brought to me! :)

Thanks for the welcome Blake, the nostalgia is definitely setting in from when I first picked my grokie in shield to when I finally beat Leon and now I'm almost done with the pokedex for let's go eevee just have to get the birds mewtwo and dragonite.

Much luck on your breed projects! \o/ I need to start shiny breeding now that I've moved my good foreign Ditto over, but man I'm lazy lmao

How does Masuda breeding work? I know you breed with foreign poke, but why?
