[Gaming] I Caught 'Em All

That's waaaaaay too much free time on my hands, I'll tell you that.

Hi.

So yeah, I finally did it... I caught 'em all... And when I say "all", I mean just the original 150 ones. Honest to God, I wouldn't even dare to try and catch all of the recent Pokémon (what are they, like, 800+ now? I don't even know, dude).

Basically, I've taken upon myself the "challenge", as one could say, of playing through the first Generation of the Pokémon games and actually capturing every single pocket monster possible. I used an emulator on the computer to do that: the Visual Boy Advanced, I think it's one of the most famous GBA emulators out there. And, I played through the FireRed & LeafGreen games. Which are technically Generation III, but more into that later.

Here's what a month's worth of progress resulted in:

Aside from the obvious fact that I was using an emulator to do that as previously stated, I actually didn't make use of any sort of hack, GameShark codes, or anything of the sorts. Each of the Pokémon, I manually searched for and caught in a legal manner, per say. I used the two games - FireRed and LeafGreen - to trade with myself some of the trade-only evolutions and exclusive version Pokémon as well. But that was pretty much it.

This is technically Gen III, so all of the Pokémon from the Gold & Silver and Ruby & Sapphire games are there, but I didn't bother with them. I just aimed at the original 150 ones. Yes, the original 150 ones. There were only a hundred and fifty original Pokémon. I don't know any "Mew", do you know any "Mew"? Never heard of it. Yup. Only 150. Yessir.

And at the end of the day, I gained absolutely nothing from performing this tiresome task. Except for some sweet, sweet bragging rights, which is really all I aimed for.

All jokes aside, though, this was only a nifty way I found to kill the time. It's also been one of my childhood dreams, and I never actually got around to do it. I know it won't amount to anything in my life except for a ton of precious time wasted, but it's one of those "useless life achievements" that sound pretty cool to me. I also streamed a portion of this journey of mine to some of my close friends and we had some fun together.

So yeah... Cool beans.
