Day 836 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing
Today’s game is Pokemon Soul Silver. I finally picked it back up again to try and make a dent in Kanto. So far I’ve gone and tackled the first 2 gyms.
One thing I really appreciate about the game is they give the Gym Leader’s new designs. It’s definitely cool to see the design change in a way that it feels like time has passed.
I do find that the Gyms here, and too an extent the Gyms in Johto, go really fast. Like, in the span of 20 minutes I had cleared 2 gyms.
I did struggle a little bit with Sabrina so that could have been shorter though.
Speaking of struggling with Sabrina. She pulled so many damn revives out during our fight. It felt like every time I kicked her Alakazam down to 10% health, she’d whip a revive out and undo all my work. Eventually I finally got her sorted though.
I wasn’t really paying attention to her dialog after because I got caught up with something. But my next goal is to figure out where to go next. I’m thinking of popping over to Lavender town if I can though regardless, I like it there.

Series like these, daily screenshots and such, are great! What’s your team composition?

Have you tried Pokémon Unbound yet?

Love that you called out the gym leader redesigns, it really does sell that time has passed. Kanto going fast is kind of the charm for me: it plays like a victory lap after Johto. Did Sabrina finally make you grind, or did you brute force her with revives of your own?

Are you playing these games via emulation? I’ve always wanted to go back to them but TBH I have no clue where to start (that’s trustworthy).
