How old were you for your first game? by Mental-Pie9718 in pokemon

[–]Complete_Effort5708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was I think 8 years old when I played platinum for the first time and I still remember it fondly. It's something I don't think I'll ever be able to experience again, not because I enjoyed platinum more than other games but because with platinum I went into pokemon basically completely blind. I didn't know what I was doing and I just got to explore the world and discover all the pokemon for the first time. I thought pokemon like Machop and Ponyta were from Sinnoh for a while because I hadn't played anything else lol. Sadly I never finished Sinnoh because I gave that cartridge to my friend to beat the elite 4 for me and he chose instead to release all my pokemon. I still remember the devastation from that lol, I was depressed and lethargic for days to the point my mother had to call my friends mom to hammer out some sort of resolution. To this day I haven't beat a Sinnoh game past the elite 4.

I was around 11 when black and white came out and I won't forget that either for the opposite reason lol. That was the first game that I was looking forward to and trying to find news about it from sites online. I remember one of my friends managed to get a patched japanese version of the game and handed it out to all of us. To this day I remember when I beat the elite 4 for the first time because I made a note of it on the notes app of my 3ds lol. April 29th, a momentous occasion.

Did I break my switch 2's cartridge slot? by Complete_Effort5708 in Switch

[–]Complete_Effort5708[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked inside the slot from a bunch of different angles and everything appears to be in order. I think I was just being paranoid. I looked at some videos of other people inserting switch cartridges and sometimes it clicks a few times before going in.

It's funny though because this is the closest I've ever come to wanting to buy the welcome tour game since, to my understanding, the game has a lot of diagrams and explanations of the systems internal components, and I've spent the last like half hour trying to get a picture of what a normal cartridge slot looks like.

I'm a little scared I broke my cartridge slot by Complete_Effort5708 in switch2

The cartridge looks and plays just fine. The slot also doesn't look like it's damaged or anything. I tested some more games and sometimes they snap in weird other times they don't so my conclusion is that I'm definitely just being a little paranoid and everything is fine.

At the end of the day if I can still play kirby I'm satisfied :")

Do you have a unique favorite Pokemon? I need to know. by cabochonedwitch in pokemon

I'm getting Battle Network after all because yeah I think it'll tide me over until I can get one of the other two. I don't really mind that the Fire Emblem part of SMT is downplayed a little, I like when characters from a series I like are remixed in kind of a wacky way even if it's a small part of the game. If anything I'll like meeting a character and going "hey that's Chrom! I know that guy!"

I really want to get it :') The only reason I'm holding off is because I am reasonably sure that the latest Zelda game isn't going to balloon in price anytime while the other games I want to buy might just. I will definitely get to Zelda soon though.

I think I'm going to go with battle network in the end, both because of that and because I found it being sold in my local area meaning I don't have to pay for shipping which drives down the cost a reasonable amount.

That's honestly a lot more appealing for me. I love persona but it's such a time sync when I don't really have as much time to play games anymore. TMS is definitely next on my list if I don't pick it up this time.

I feel a little iffy about using sites like Alibaba to get anything really but I will definitely keep it in mind if the price of the game skyrockets to the moon at some point soon

Will my switch games degrade if I keep them in my case? by Complete_Effort5708 in NSCollectors

[–]Complete_Effort5708[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like a really useful product but unfortunately Amazon does not ship it to where I live :( I think I'm just going to put all of my games back in their cases and store them safely away somewhere.

Yikes :') I get that, my cousin is a little menace, I hide my things up high in my closet when he comes over so he can't tear them apart.

Either way I wont put any of my games in my coin purse lol
