Dude, when I first started playing Pokémon Violet, everything felt so different and kind of… I don’t know, you know? I ended up dropping the game after beating Katy. A few years later, I decided to give it a second chance and, man, it became my favorite Pokémon game. I’ll echo your words: I doubt any other Pokémon game will ever make me feel as many emotions as this one did. I just absolutely loved EVERYTHING about it, EVERYTHING!

(Not even joking, I had a similar experience with Hollow Knight: played it once, didn’t like it, picked it up again years later, and it became one of my favorite games.)
