Day 775 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Today’s game is Pokemon Platinum. Admittedly, I was going to keep playing KoTOR, but after hearing bank is shutting down, I want to try and meet the deadline to complete the Pokédex in all the games. I think having that deadline will be a fun challenge, and I’m considering transferring them all to Pokemon Home (I’m not sure what all that will require though so it’s more of a “that would be a fun thing to do” scenario).

Since my main goal is to complete the Pokédex, I’ve mainly been running around in the woods nearby the flower area. There were few Pokemon there I’m missing and once I nabbed them I had moved on to the next area.

The next area of course being the gym. I went through it 3 times now. And I want to just say: Fuck Gardenia and Especially her Turtwig. The Turtwig keeps one shorting a level 30 Pokemon which is complete bullshit. Anyways, I gave her a few more attempts before deciding this is a tomorrow thing. I need to come back with more strategy.

Speaking of more strategy, that’s what I love about the older games. Don’t get me wrong, I love some of the newer stuff but the older stuff feels so much more hands on and challenging compared to it. And I love it for that.

Anyways, I know this isn’t the most glamorous of game choice, but it matters to me so I thought I’d use it today, especially because it’s the only game I captured due to being out for a D&D session, so not a lot of time today.
