A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

[Meta] Did we drop the "what are you playing" monthly thread? Also, mods haven't been active for a while, should someone take over? (reddthat.com)

Started a Professor Oaks Challenge in Red. I'm still not out of the grind in Viridian Forest. So much grinding.

For those who don't know, the challenge is to catch, and evolve, every possible pokemon line before each gym leader. Doing this in an OG game is pretty painful, and slow at the start.

Kinda have Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous burning in the back of my mind, though. That new DLC. Kinda wanna roll up a Bladebound Magus. Kinda getting tired of running in a straight line repeatedly.

Does that include buying magickarp for extra pain? Hopefully you are using an emulator so it at least loves faster.

Yeah, I'm planning on pretty much grabbing one of the high levels I'll have and just switch training Magi on the trainers in Mt. Moon before doing the Cerulean Catch-and-Grind, and having to add Abra into the mix for a bit.

Oh yeah, emulator with FF on with PKHex at my side to make some things a bit more gentle, but manually grinding, catching, and including Trades since I can just fake it and have a "legal" one.
