JOHTO

  Back when I was quite young, I was fascinated with pokemon. Even before I had my first game, I was collecting cards and looking over my cousins' shoulders as they played through Diamond and Pearl. When I was around 7, I got my very first console, ye olde DSi, along with my first pokemon game, Pokemon SoulSilver. Though this game is technically a generation 4 game, Generation 2's Johto has a special place in my heart, as it is where I began my adventure.

  I started my first Pokemon adventure out with a cyndaquil, a pokemon that I traded off to my cousin in exchange for an Arceus (which is a ridiculous trade lmao). Through this Arceus I gained access to the Ruins of Alph event, which in turn gave me my unofficial starter for SoulSilver, Giratina. After completing the game, I lost my Giratina in a "trading mishap" between me and my cousins, thus wiping my very first (& very unoffical) pokemon starter from existance :(.

  Though that Giratina is long gone, my love for Pokemon has continued since that day, and I continue to play new releases and replay older games today!
