Honestly, I don't care much about Pokemon in current day. It's just Nintendo's little money making machine (what news), but I won't lie and say it wasn't a massive part of my childhood. So it... earns a shrine... TCH!
I didn't grow up with Nintendo consoles like many others did, so my introduction to Pokemon was through Indigo League and some pc rom hacks from back then. But my first mainline WAS Pokemon Black, and by chance, because I wanted to emulate Pokemon Battle Revolution but didn't yet know the difference between the spinoffs and mainlines.

I fell in love with Gen 5 immediately. I played White 2 shortly after, and since then both BW & BW2 have become some of my most replayed games in general. It's not some crazy thing to say that Gen 5 was the peak of this franchise - story wise, gameplay wise AND presentation wise.
I can't help returning to play BW2 every few years, I swear...

Anyways, I'm making this page on the spot because a series of events led me to dust off my ~2017 BW2 Pokespe manga. Nostalgia got to me. And as I'm writing this, I'm somewhere in the middle of a BW2 replay. Revisiting some old friends. Speaking of!

My favorite characters are N, Iris, Colress, Cheren, Bianca, Hugh.
Emboar's my fav starter forever. I like Scolipede, Simipour, Escavalier, Gothitelle, Hydreigon, and Scrafty. Though Gen 5's Pokemon are all really good in general :')
