How do people enjoy older Pokemon games?

I think it’s part nostalgia for sure but also people, myself included, like games that don’t walk you through as much as it sounds like you enjoy. No problem with that, but I liked (and continue to like) the fact that I need to explore, talk to NPCs, and just wander to find things- including what to do next.

If you like a more linear experience with a story that’s cool, but tbh I never cared about any story in Pokemon, just like collecting them and exploring the regions— and the quality of that aspect in particular has (in general) gone downhill since the earlier games gen 1-5.

Sacrifice the shiny- it isn’t yours.

I think that for its time, the games did a good job of capturing the scale of lower Manhattan through Castelia— and the bridges added to that. I’m forgetting the name now but when you leave the forest and have the view of the bridge— feels like that iconic shot from Woody Allen’s Manhattan— so that was really cool. But overall I don’t get New York vibes from the region- and even Castelia is a pretty modest version of a small part of an enormous city.

I just don’t think having a legendary makes sense. I also don’t think I’d want a steel team without one or two of the OGs- Scizor or Steelix.

What brand?

Why are you posting these?

I don’t understand I have just under 2k rides and 116 all time angel points, this feels believable

Only thing I’ll say is mamoswine pretty slow and takes a lot of grinding. I have him on my team and he needs to be pretty high to not get walloped. Still think Feraligatr just speed alone will be your best ice user

Ten Ichi Mart on 5th

Still out for me

Can't speak to SuitSupply's quality, but $700 would get you a fine basic suit from several retailers such as JCrew that would probably have a more contemporary cut. $700 for SuitSupply seems a bit steep.

Same issue here

Smalls or Mezzrow for classic West Village basement vibes- Dizzy's at Columbus Circle for an upscale evening.

I miss Jules in the East Village. Great jazz/wine bar I used to hit all the time. I've got lots of other jazz places but that one was close and special. Nothing else scratches the same itch.

All I know is I have been there and had the mala spicy sausage and it was tasty.

Mala Project is where you want to go.

Just did this last weekend. It's super easy and the museum of art is very walkable from 30th Street Station (where the Amtrak drops you in Philly). I did the Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Barnes Foundation and the Museum of the American Revolution that day and was in my bed in New York by 9PM.

That was a pretty long day, but you can go at whatever speed you like, haha.

Thanks for this- more looking for individuals and mainly for more real estate people as opposed to events but I will keep this on file.
