my first ever game on console
I used to have so much fomo when the 3ds released. When I saw my friends play with their DSes, my heart used to hurt a bit because I knew that my family couldn't shell that much on a gaming system for me. Even when we eventually did have the money for leisure, I was already too shy and too money conscious to ask for anything "childish" and "impractical" for myself.
I've never played a pokemon game legitimately or on its original hardware, but still, i consider myself a lifelong pokemon fan.
It's completely optional (an expensive option at that) to buy a 3ds and a game in 2026. I, out of all people, should know that. However, there's something special with playing a game i've given so many hours to the way it was meant to be played for the first time.
i just finished lana :)
