    Zelkov superiority.

    Anyway, hi. Whassup?

    Holy broc-coli, what a bad opinion.

    I jest, I just needed an excuse to use it. Zelkov seems cool.

    Not much! Just playing the game, really. I think with all the paralogues I've been doing I've unintentionally overlevelled, but hey-ho.

    I have evolved. Ascended.

    Hey, could ask you the same question! Where'd Wolf go? Wait was it Wolf or was it Fox? Crud now I don't remember which of the two it was. Could swear it was Wolf but now I'm not so sure...

    Is that what they call it these days?

    It felt fitting to change my avatar on my streaming face. And yes, it was a wolf. Specifically, Wolf O'Donnel from hit series Super Smash Bros.

    My Gb Pokemon game collection (mostly Yellow Version ofc)

    Some of them weren't initially owned by me, such as the Silver and Gold versions with the black smears on the top of the cartridge. My Pokemon Red Version and the Yellow Version that's third from the left are my inital carts, so the wear kinda shows, haha.

    Pokemon Blue has some damage as well, but i don't know what happened there, as it wasn't mine initially either.

    Edit: my initial Crystal Version cart is there as well, and the wear kinda shows, although that one is actually still in great condition.

    That's great! My copies of Blue and Silver are in my drawers somewhere.

    Well, at this point I figure you've realized I'm more of a gameplay than story guy when it comes to this wonderful, wonderful series called Fire Emblem. As such, PoR having a good story is a point that amounts to nothing if it isn't accompanied by robust gameplay. And that is where PoR falls flat on its face - It's the most boring FE, which for me is a bigger problem than being the worst FE. I consider Awakening to be the worst FE in every single relevant aspect (except map design, Gaiden beats it there), but I had fun powering through half of it in a single afternoon and being astonished at how utterly incompetent at everything it was.

    PoR is an exercise in boredom. It is the easiest game in the series, beating Sacred Stones (not by much admittedly, but I believe it beats it), everyone becomes overpowered really easily and BEXP doesn't help, and it is also one of the slowest games in the series, with sluggish animations even with the "animations off" option and a focus on enemy phase with enemy density that is way too high for their extremely shitty quality.

    Combined, these flaws made me feel like I was sitting in the classroom, desperately daydreaming and staring at different points of the wall in an attempt to make the minutes while away faster. And I didn't drop the game too quickly - I made it all the way to chapter 21. But while it was never good, there came a point (if I had to pinpoint an exact time, I'd say it was around the time Tanith and her hilariously broken "reinforce" ability joined) where every single chapter consisted of watching the game play itself reeeeeeally slowly over the course of 45 minutes per map. I couldn't do it anymore. I would've rather play anything than subject myself to one more second of that dreadful game.

    So, I didn't. I quit, put it at the bottom of the list, and never looked back. I may be way more vocal about my hatred for Three Houses, or how hilariously bad I find Awakening's gameplay and Fates's story, but there are things I genuinely appreciate about all of those. Path of Radiance? Yeah, it has Titania. That's pretty much the only good thing I can come up with. Everything else is terrible, and not even in a fun or endearing way.

    Fair. I rate it above, uh, Sacred Stones, Birthright, and Revelation because of the quality of the writing, but I do think it's pretty zzz to play.

    You and i seem to agree on alotta levels! Houndoom is such a badass Pokemon, one of the best from the G/S/C era imo.

    I wanted to use a Fire-type and I didn't want to play the game with any monkey business going on. So, Houndoom it is. Ponyta/Rapidash is kinda eh unless it's Galarian.
