Today’s game is some more Pokemon Soul Silver. I think I got as far as I could in terms of the Pokedex in Johto. Because of that I finally decided to head over to Kanto. I figured many of have some luck over there catching some of the other things I was missing.

The league was definitely a challenge. I ended up carrying with a few level 55 Pokemon and revives. But the other Pokemon in my party definitely pulled through too. At the very least the weakest bought time for me to get ahold of some revives for the other members of my party.

After that I headed straight for Vermillion city to wrap up. I figured I’d explore a little bit before hitting up the gym. I took a peak in there and saw 3 trainer battles and moped out though. I can tackle that later.

I ended up bumping into Cameron the photographer where the guy was doing construction and got a photo. I thought that would be a great spot to end it. I’m excited to see Kanto again. I played through FR once and I always love seeing old locations return in newer games. It’s something fascinating to return to an old place like that.

How do you find the time to play a game every day?

OP is John Wick:

Slowbro's name is so meme-level stupid that without knowing you'd assume it's a joke nickname, like Sod Howard.

When I first started the save I had a trend of naming everything some variation of _od Howard. I was young and thought it was hilarious. I still do

Original or emulated? I’ve been craving older gen Pokémon after playing a fan made ROM a year or so ago.

I’ve been playing on a DS Lite with a Flash Cart. Occasionally I’ll trade the save over to an emulator though when I want to sit down and play

Check out Pokémon yellow recharged or emerald recharged if you emulate

Also open home if you like to collect the Pokémon

When Nintendo released Fire Red for the Switch, I was hooked for weeks. Perfect game for the Lite!

If you have a Switch, I would recommend if not for the price, considering it's a 22 year old GBA game..
