Pokemon

I didn't always like pokemon.

For the first decade of my life i never really knew all that much about it,

apart from the stuff Joe Everyman would know, like pikachu and the anime and all that.

There were a few exceptions to that though, i can't remember how old i was back then; maybe somewhere around 11 to 12?

Anyway, the exceptions were a litten plush and a booster pack of ultra prism with leafeon on it.

the exceptions, a litten plush, a legendary and mythical pokemon guidebook plus poster,
  and a sun and moon ultra prism booster pack plus palkia coin and kirlia card.

The booster pack came in a set with a palkia coin and a kirlia card.

I can't remember what kickstarted my love for pokemon,

perhaps it was a bunch of small things that led to it,

perhaps it was one big thing that i cannot for the life of me remember.

All i know was that SirToastyToe's all ribbons on one pokemon video. most certainly contributed to it,

(and my love for scizor.)

Anyway, have some screenshots from my pokemon playthroughs,

do note that while i try my best, these may not be necessarily in chronological order.

Currently i'm playing through platnium, but before that i played (and beat) black.

I also partially played through pokemon x, ultra moon, and alpha sapphire in order to receive some pokemon i won in a giveaway.

Pokemon platnium screenshots.

As a little sidenote: the nds-bootstrap menu; which i use to take screenshots, has a tendency to freeze, or straight up crash my dsi.

Because of this, i've started using my phone to take "screenshots" of my platnium playthrough, instead of the nds-bootstrap menu.

I've also resized some of these "photo-screenshots" so they wouldn't take up too much space on my website.
