Noted for the record ...
Mar. 14th, 2019 11:25 pm1. I am playing Pokémon Crystal for the first time because forking over $13 AUS and playing an entire Pokémon game with two regions and sixteen badges to collect seems like the most sensible way to get the Marvelscale Lugia I want. (Look, there are months before Sword&Shield come out and I've decided that Let's Go doesn't really look like my thing even if I had a Switch already.)
2. I started playing with Gen IV and I was not prepared for all the stuff that isn't there in the early versions. (I have no nostalgia for the GameBoy since I never had one.) I miss Natures and Abilities and the Physical/Special split. I can't even figure out how to reorder a moveset!
3. Whitney's Miltank is still a demon in cow form, spawned from the depths of Hell. I thought maybe I had so much trouble with it in SoulSilver because it was my first Pokémon game and I had no idea what I was doing. But no! It really is that bad.
4. After it beat my carefully trained team twice, I spent two hours catching a Pineco with Self-Destruct and blew it up.
5. This was a proportionate and sensible response to the situation.
