This is the only game that I have nostalgia goggles for that are so big they eclipse my whole god damn head. Replaying it now after not touching it for a few years there are so many weird little quirks that only make sense as an adult who understands the troubled development it went through. I think the fact it's so rough around the edges in so many ways while still feeling polished and pushing Pokemon so far forward as a franchise just hits on something magical to me that I don't really know how to explain.
