For some reason it's always been seen as a stereotypical autistic interest (even before Satoshi Tajiri's diagnosis was public?) but does anyone here play the pokemon games? The main series ones not just Go (although I also play Go) or some of the other spinoffs. I've played them all now and I'm replaying Leaf Green, I've just beat the Elite Four with a Pinsir, Starmie, Exeggutor, Jolteon, Nidoking and Clefable, I don't like using the same Pokemon in multiple games so i tried hard to use ones I hadn't used before, they're all very good team members but Nidoking is 100% broken considering you get a moon stone before the second gym.
I'm thinking of playing the original Diamond next as I've never beaten that one, only Platinum. A lot of complaints about it so I'm curious as to how bad I'll actually find it. I'm in two minds on if to import a randomized team or if to just use Pokemon in the native pokedex (of which hardly any are that good sadly...well, if they are like Staraptor and Garchomp I've already used them all numerous times).
