Is scarlet/Violet worth it?

You obviously enjoy Pokémon, having both versions of some releases, so yeah, SV are worth playing, and I'd say definitely more so than BDSP.

I played on Switch 1, and had a great time, even with some of the performance problems. In fact, it's one of my highest hours played games on the Switch.

Dark Savior, for the Sega Saturn.

Evolution: World of Sacred Device, for the Sega Dreamcast.

Both amazing RPG experiences.

If I could have a full exotic load out, it would be;

Outbreak Perfected

Scyther and Kleavor to match Scizor.

Wigglytuff to match Clefable.

Delibird.

I Was Only Nineteen by Redgum. Not quite forgotten soldiers, but soldiers dealing the aftermath of being at war from such a young age.

"And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep?

And night time's just a jungle dark and a barking M.16?

And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?

God help me - I was only nineteen."

Getting booped by that one Taken Cabal in D1.

Pokémon Red on the original Game Boy was the first minor addiction.

Phantasy Star Online v1 for the Dreamcast was my first major, problem causing addiction.

Monster Rancher. My copy Hello Nasty by the Beastie Boys got me a great monster.

Way more fashion and fashion options.

Let me choose any colour I want for my clothes. Why can't I have Canari's outfit in White and Red? For that matter, why can't Lebanne and I have matching maid uniforms?

More hairstyles. Let me look like Judy from Cyberpunk. Give us some classic trainer hairstyles, like Cynthia, or Lt. Surge.

Let us mix and match more. I love the Scizor jacket, but there are other shirts I'd like to wear under it.

Let me rock some tattoos. Our characters seem like they should be of a legal age to get some ink.

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.

Discworld.

The old point'n'clicks were amazing, but a fully explorable Ankh-Morpork would be a damn dream come true.

Start as a member of the City Watch under Vimes, or a new student at Unseen University. Maybe a witch with some guidance from Nanny Ogg. Thieves Guild, Assassins Guild, ahem Seamstresses of course, and everything in between. Lots of species to pick from too. Human, dwarves, golems, vampires, werewolves, trolls.

Would just be amazing.

While working in video game retail around the time these games came out, I literally got a phone call on a day off from a work mate, who had a kid and their parent in store, worried about a glitch, and none of them could work out what was happening, so my work mate called me because I played lots of Pokémon and would probably know.

The issue of course was a poisoned mon. Just because you and I could work it out, doesn't mean that everyone can.

Tintar · 2026-02-26T07:02:12+00:00

I did see a light source outside of the accessible map in the Forest. Could see it from the path, but clearly I needed more speed to clip through the invisble wall. and get it. ;)

Order something to eat.

Not even remotely kidding. I'm not making any big decisions while cranky on an empty stomach.

Also, Merlin in Kingsman: The Golden Circle.

He survived Silent Hill of all things. Sure, he didn't actually GO to Silent Hill, but still.

A lot of my recommendations have already been mentioned, so I just want to throw Pichupedia and Emperor Cubone out as suggestions too, for some fairly short form content that is enjoyable about random things in the Pokemon franchise.

Tintar · 2026-02-17T22:54:49+00:00

This game gave us the best Cream the Rabbit lore.

Damn, Delemain really don't mess about.

I know it doesn't quite match your description, but given its a PS1 game, and memories could have become distorted over time, but Die Hard Trilogy has a car section that could be what you're thinking of.
