How do you guys manage to still play these games? I'm on

I'm kinda with you there. I post and talk on here but I've been procrastinating on my first run of HGSS because shit hasn't really taken off yet.

Weed

I don't play everyday or even every week.

I'll pick up the game, breed something, train something, test out a new pokemon, or battle an NPC here or there but I don't seriously play the games unless there is something new out or coming out very soon.

I'll probably replay X in September or October to gear up for SM.

Same here. Doesn't help I haven't bought a new game since BW came out. Hopefully SM will be a good experience.

I, too, browse reddit.

I play in bursts. I'll do a run of a game and then put Pokemon away for 6-7 months, come back and do another run.

I just did a huge AS run after never finishing OR back in 2014, and have been trying to get a living dex in prep for S&M_. But that means I went almost two years without playing beforehand.

I, too, pretend, I'm better, than everyone, else because, I'm the OG edgy, and, I, misuse commas

I haven't replayed a Pokemon game since Emerald. I play the games as they come out, but then shelve them after I beat the league.

I don't

>>26887901
I play hacks

I've gotten a bit bored of single player apart from first runs, it's all about battling and trading these days

You don't. Pokemon games have no replay value.

i only do actual playthroughs once, i have never replayed a pokemon game
the rest is fucking around in postgame or doing online battles every once in a while
you don't have to play these games daily to be a fan, i stay on this board because i like this series and i'm fine with shitposting

Where did that guy ever imply anything of what you just said?
Do you have some unspoken confidence issues, anon?

>>26890685
It's not a misuse. You can use , to signal a deep pause.

If grinding is your issue then X and Y made it less tedious with a better EXP share

>>26891077
take this with a grain of salt - new XP share is broken as all hell

Angry redditor is angry.

Battle autistic neckbeards with their injected perfect pokemon online.

>Go through as normal without exp. share on
>Turn it on only for sped up grinding if you're underleveled by the next gym

Perfect.

Actually, the main series games have so much replay value that it's practically leaking out of their asses.

I give myself 1k rare candies so I don't have to waste time grinding.
