Get Out of My Nintendo Labo(ratory)!
In an age of ever progressing virtual reality, the days of steering wheel and fishing rod video game controllers seemed to be a thing of a past (do you member? I 'member).

I remember the first time I played through XCOM: Enemy Unknown. It was a solid game, but one that caused my stress level to increase tenfold. There never seemed to be a moment of reprieve, even while I was tinkering around in the underground headquarters. Was I making the right decisions? Would they come back to bite me on a future mission? It was a never-ending game of second-guessing myself, yet somehow still enjoyable.

Accountability. Without it, my credibility as a writer and, dare I say, a journalist, is left with an aura of decay. That festering cloud will continue to rot and grow until I’m little more than a tabloid artist, spinning improbable tales for the bored and the unemployed. It’s not a future I want for myself, and so I aim to hold myself accountable for my actions, thoughts, and words.

Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald and their remakes as Omega, Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire are fantastic games that introduced a whole host of new Pokémon to fans of the franchise, as well as one of the most overpowered legendary Pokémon in Rayquaza (the Mega Evolved form ended up having its own tier created in competitive battling; AG, or Anything Goes). While all the new additions weren't quite that strong, they certainly gave a refresh to game play.

Next in the series of Pokémon games is the Johto based games, Gold and Silver. One major difference with these compared to other games in the Pokémon franchise is that there are sixteen badges to collect as after you finish your journey through Johto, you gain access to the Kanto region.

So if you’ll remember my defense of Mario Party 9, I very, very briefly remarked that the series goes about its gameplay in an interesting way.
So You Want to Be a Pokémon Master? - Kanto
For the last twenty years, Pokémon has been an ever-present force for Nintendo and Game Freak as well as having an equally prolific run on TV and film. I've pretty much grown up with this franchise and its adorable (and often terrifying) little creatures in every region we visit.

SPOILERS I shamelessly admit that a not insignificant amount of mental preparation was required for me to even fathom trying to write about this game without going full fan-girl mode.
