Not anticlimactic or anything

As far as I can tell, that really is it. In reality, I only spent about 25 hours total over all three games.

"Only"

Let me show you them

Well lookee here, I'm finally posting again. If you couldn't figure out from this blog's extensive archives, I tend to have short periods of intense productivity followed by months of neglect. Circle of life, etc.

While reading the following post, please keep in mind that I am currently an unemployed 22-year-old male, and then keep your opinions to yourself, thankyouverymuch.

It is tradition in my head to play from the beginning (and beat) a pokemon game every winter around Christmastime. I can't quite remember how it started, but it is safe to assume that it was a Simpler Time, none of this "493 pokemon" shit. In my day we had 150 and we liked it. I have played through either pokemon red, blue or yellow probably a dozen times in my life, but I have never gotten close to "catching em all." This winter's playthrough also corresponded with a nasty cold, so I figure if I'm stuck inside here, I might as well try for glory.

Here are my stats so far:
Seen: 143 150
Own: 120 150
Time: 65:20 (note: I run my gameboy emulator between 300-400% faster than normal, so I haven't actually spent over 65 hours on this. I'm not completely insane.)

Here is my to-catch/evolve list (0 remaining):
bulbasaur
ivysaur
