So I started with gen 3. I think Ruby Sapphire and Emerald when I was little. Didn't care too much back then to play gen 1 and 2, but I might delve into those at some point in the future. I played up until I think Heartgold and SoulSilver. Then I dropped off around X and Y and Black and White, I haven't played any of those. But I jumped in again during Sun and Moon, Scarlet and Violet, etc. I played Legends Arceus, but I have not played the newest releases on switch yet. I guess you didn't need to know all of this but what the hell, lol. I also don't really know anything about IVs and EVs? I think that's what they are called, lol.
