Nice review, Elk! As someone that's not as familiar with all the new Pokemon releases, I appreciate the write up.
I'm still playing through Grandia (PS1). I'm on Disc 2 now, and just cleared the first of the optional dungeons, the Soldier's Graveyard. I'm liking the game a lot. The plot's quite good and the battle system is pretty fun. Unfortunately, it's one of the few PS1 games that has compatibility issues with the PS2, which I'm playing it on. Every once in a while the game will randomly freeze, but luckily, it hasn't happened too often.
What are you playing?
Re: What are you playing?
On a whim I borrowed Stray from the library. It's really fun! You play a cat that got separated from its family in a post-apocalyptic world. It has a great vibe and I love the music.
