If you mean as an adventure game, then tbh I’d probably just release Emerald or Platinum with very minor tweaks (giving the rival more stress like they do in Red/Blue). I think that Gen 2-4 Game Freak was doing a lot right. Gen 5 they shifted to a direction I didnt like, focusing more on story then exploration, which is something that isn’t inherently bad, just not my taste. Then Gen VI, Game Freak decided they weren’t gonna try to optimize anything in their game and put out products annually, and while theres a lot I’m excited for with Sword/Shield, there’s a lot of decisions that look foolish when compared to Animal Crossing’s delays (most notably, the game just DOESNT have Pokemon that aren’t in the Galar Dex.......even though......you still have the models.....from the last game........). There’s a lot of posts I’ve seen that show that Game Freak is just really not good from a technical perspective that I dont recall but I’ll try to remember.

From the technical perspective, Gens 2-5 work well as far as I’ve seen. Gen I is a travesty. Game cartridges are small, and its Game Freak’s first game, but Focus Energy accidentally cut your critical hit rate to 25% of what it’s supposed to be so good on ya there GF.

Uhh I haven’t played DnD in a while but I do have some fun stories from a campaign that recently finished!

My character was Zoa who was basically made on a dead cells kick and therefore was like, an escaped, amnesiac science experiment- a  blob made of magic possessing the beheaded corpse of another PC’s missing brother! which is

a hell of a sentence but there we go

Zoa was very hot on the whole “not killing people unless absolutely necessary” thing and due to the nature of the system they were being played in, where you got to customise your attacks down to their names, they literally hugged two endbosses into submission (they were big damage attacks that took off HP, but they were fluffed as cooldown hugs)

they also ended a boss encounter peacefully by feeding part of their own essence to another experiment that was essentially their little sister, to teach her more about the world beyond “devour everything trying to fill the emptiness inside you”

eventually they let her swallow them for a bit so she could probe their mind and through that eventually convinced her that you can’t just eat people to feel complete because that’s how it works

awwww thank you :D

we had a lot of fun. made many friends, some of which are still around. i find it really funny how in the AT fandom im known for old analysis whereas in the HS fandom im known for my comics.
