Oh, the path we could have taken Gamefreak

an actual relic of my childhood.

gameplay wise, i give this two stars as replaying it on an emulator i realize how insanely mundane and repetitive grinding double battles were - though revolutionary for its time. extra star for the storyline/plot, as it differed from the typical protagonist storylines of other titles in the franchise. loved playing the antihero.

This game has many flaws, but it's fucking wild that Nintendo even let this thing go to market at all.

One of the most difficult games of the franchise - but a fun one at that.
