A while ago I posted about playing Pokémon Platinum and Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. I didn’t want to get into older games, because I felt they may be too ancient for me.
Well, now I’m playing Pokémon Yellow and the original NES Castlevania. Turns out I was completely wrong and these old ass games are a lot of fun.
I’m about to get the 5th badge in Pokémon, but my Pokédex is only at 41/151. As for Castlevania, I’m mostly hunting for achievements (retroachievements). Haven’t really felt like sitting down for 2-3 hours to beat the entire game yet, but will definitely do at some point.
EDIT: Also updated from an R36s to a Mangmi Air X. I’m absolutely in love with this retro handheld. Umbelievable value for the price.

I love Pokémon Gen 1, I’m always hesitant to recommend them but I’m glad you also like them too. Have you played anything else from the series yet or just Platinum and Yellow?
Just Yellow and Platinum for now, except some FireRed 15 years ago. I’m not sure if I’ll play all of the games. I’ll see how it goes. I’m very much looking forward to romhacks though.

I’d definitely recommend checking out Emerald and either Crystal or HGSS before dropping the series, if you’re willing to do two more games. Those are the highlights of the series for sure, in my opinion.
