So, I haven't played Pokémon since Diamond and Pearl. As a refresher, I bought Pokémon Moon to see what has changed.
And holy shit. It wasn't the new 3D graphics or the new shitter Pokémon that got my attention, but how fucking shitty I was playing as a kid.
I didn't care about stats or abilities ar ALL. I just cared about it's level and how cool the ability was.
Now playing through Moon, caring about that shit made the game a breeze.
The only thing I got right through playing Diamond/Pearl was choosing Milotic as my go-to Pokemon.
Was anybody else like this when they first started playing? Or am I just a tard?

>first started playing
>Diamond/Pearl
Fuck.
Is this it? Am I old?

>tfw Sun was my first time using a Milotic
I wanted one in Emerald, but kid me was too impatient/stupid to fish and fish and fish for a Feebas with that meme-tier location.
I'd say SM is the easiest it's ever been to catch a Feebas.

ORAS was way easier, it's got a 100% encounter rate under a certain bridge at night, and shows up somewhere else during the day.

>he actually caught Feebas in Sinnoh
You had too much free time on your hands?
Also no. I remember being a stupid kid who couldn't find the shipyard in Slateport.

I gave surf to my hariyama and used it to beat the ghost elite 4 guy
>these dex descriptions
Damn. Is Feebas our gal? They straight up call them ugly

>tfw caught Feebas in Emerald, Pearl, Platinum AND Moon
>tfw also fished for a Prism Scale in Moon so I could have Milotic before the fourth island
The hours of seething rage is worth it for based watersnek.
Also can we have a stealth Milotic thread?

>tfw spent hours soft resting rippling water spots for a Feebas
>had to beg someone in Wifi-Gen for their Prism Scale so I could evolve it
Shit was worth, though. The more I think about it and look at it, I feel like Milotic could very well be one of my favorite Pokemon.
I'll say this though, had I known how easy catching Feebas was in ORAS before I bought it, I probably wouldn't have picked Swampert for my starter. I love the guy, but I've used it many times before, and I'd love to try Blaziken or Sceptile.

Same here. Wanted a water type but I didn't really like any of the ones in Alola other than Wishiwashi, but his ability made him seem unreliable to me. I eventually decided on Milotic over Poliwrath when I was choosing my team, but I'll probably end up using Poli if we return to Kanto.
The decision paid off since Milotic completely cleaned house against the Elite Four.

>between the events of FRLG and SM, researchers took interest in Feebas's endurance over its looksfacilitated by the fact that it's much more common by the time SM happens
Subtle, I like it.
