currently playing leafgreen! besides my starter, it seems that this run is full of pokemon that i haven't used so far in my prior leafgreen runs, which makes things interesting. so far, my team is: venusaur dodrio starmie omastar marowak flareon a very interesting mix that has been excellent in a variety of situations. i don't mind having double water, it is what it is and i needed to have surf on one for hm reasons and hydro pump on the other. but this has been shaping up to be kind of a fun run, even if... fr/lg are my least favourite remakes , haha.

Actually, I hadn't thought about the MMORPGification of the main games in the series, you're right! I wonder if we'll see even more elements of this genre of video games in Generation 10 🧐 i hope so! like, are we going to reach a point where there's a mainline game with a full-fledged chat function and all the fancy bells and whistles a mmo typically has? probably not, but i think the core interactive/multiplayer elements are going to get (hopefully) better and better with each game. if that's going to be the case, then that's something i wouldn't mind at all, tbh.

i would've been more on the "absolutely not" train a couple of years back, but seeing how each and every single mainline game seems to be heading in that direction.... i mean, think about it, really. s/v really was kind of the closest thing you could really get to a mmorpg what with the introduction of union circle. while legends: za is more of a single player game than multiplayer, the elements are still there as far as its pvp is concerned. i think, slowly but surely we're going to inch closer and closer to a mmorpg-like experience in mainline games without it being an actual mmorpg. i think that's probably a stretch, but i do think more multiplayer elements are probably going to be present in mainline games moving forward.
