Ah, I already have a dual boot installed, but Windows is currently on the "best" drive while Linux is on a side drive. If I am switching to Linux full time, I would like to have Linux on the main drive and Windows on the side one :)
I get what you mean. I've been dual-booting Linux and Windows for a while now, and Linux has been great to me, honestly. It's just that since Linux was the side-partition and windows was the main one, I had doubts when it came to switching the hierarchy around. I got some great ideas here though, and thank you for your warning. I appreciate it :)
I love when they try to tell a story.
Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow is simple, but effective.
The others just build on this, but the best team is still Team Rocket to me. Actual gangsters instead of maniacal, delusional gits who want to end the world...
It's too much.
Team Skull are wonderful as well.
Black and white had a great story and I really, really like Bianca's journey in that game. She's not very good at what she does, but she's compassionate. A little sheltered too. Her dad is always asking her to come back home because he doesn't believe in her, and with failure after failure almost goes along with it and gives up. I love that she doesn't.
I also like the villain speech here that Pokémon don't like being used for fighting, but I really believe that it could've been better if they didn't undermine their own point by fighting with pokemon. I mean, I get that the main dude, Ghetsis was just bluffing, but everyone else believed it, so why didn't they choose non -violence?
After the series went 3D, I've disliked it. I liked X and Y, but I felt like it was a little too light on new stuff. Only 60ish new pokemon feels a bit low. There's a good game there somewhere, but... It's not where I want it to be.
Sun and moon was the same. Love the new ideas, but it's getting bogged down a smidge by performance and repetition.
Sword and Shield definitely has great things going for it with vibes, but lacks substance. No caves, no dungeons, just a led-by-the-hand tour.
The DLC was a smidge better, but even then a little lacking.
Scarlet/Violet barely holds together. It's ugly as sin, its level progression is whack and the open world does it NO FAVORS! All I want is for pokemon to seem like actual animals in the wild. I wanna see them interact with each other, but they NEVER DO.
Legends Arceus was also the same here, though I like the battle mechanics here. It feels unfinished and while pokemon in your party can interact, the world itself feels... Lacking.
My favorite game in the pokemon series (including spinoffs) would be pokemon mystery dungeon for the story, and Pokemon Snap for the interaction.
Core series would be either Black and White or Heart Gold/Soul Silver. Those games really spoiled us
Y'know... It looks simple. It's not fancy, it's not super duper well presented, it's not covered in side dishes that tie the whole thing together... It's... Humble, and I'd eat that with the biggest smile on my face!
Nice! Thanks
