Pokemon Yellow Team

I played pokemon blue when I was younger and I never did finish it. I found it so hard and I don't think I even ever beat the elite 4. I found gold to be much easier and I finished that in it's entirety. However with each game, I feel like that failure was a stain on my personal and nonexistent pokemon reputation. Not like anyone cares but me. Anyway, I was so excited when nintendo released the old gameboy games to be played on the 3ds. I bought both blue and yellow, but I started out with yellow since that was one I never played before and I was curious of the difference.

The grind is just as grueling and painful as I remembered it to be. Not many good pokemon to choose from, the move sets are so limited, and the inventory even more painfully limited. I was cautious this time around, really trained hard before each gym battle. I planned my team much more carefully and really did my best to have a varied move set. And in the end I was able to eat the elite 4 with relative ease. So here are the fruits of my labor.

Well technically, yellow is easier because most of your team is freebies! I mean, pikachu isn't the best choice but for the sake of being my starter I kept him. Then of course I got the three starters, which are arguably the best of their types and one of the best in general to use in the whole game. So technically this would be easier than blue anyway. But I succeeded! I don't have the energy to play blue yet but maybe eventually?

Nintendo Switch

With every pokemon game, of course I have to get the new console just to play it. At this point I'm nintendo's financial slave. At the time, there weren't much colors to choose from. The normal one was black, which I did get since the others at the time weren't to my liking. There was the lets go eevee/pikachu one, which are brown and yellow, my least favorite colors. Most of the other ones were just the black base with a bit of design on it, no special looking joycons. Even the ones with colored special joycons just weren't speaking to me. 

Until the animal crossing edition out! That pastel baby blue with the mint, those are the colors of my wardrobe right now! Also, the back of the joycons are white and come with the white attachments with matching pastel wrist rope thingies. I was disappointed that the actual base screen part of the switch was still black and not white, but at least the dock is a pretty white with a cute design. 

Of course I had to keep the vibe with my case and accessories. The case I got is a pretty pastel blue from etsy that looks just like a normal purse. It's soft inside and a nice leather on the outside that is easy to clean. It does hold a lot of games, which was also was something that I considered after all since I wanted something that held a lot of games.

I did still want an actual case on the switch since I'm clumsy and could drop or hit it against something. I got this pastel pink case from amazon. I love the color because it's so light that it almost looked white in some of the pictures but it is clearly pink in person. It's also very bendy so it's easy to take off. Downside is it does make the switch overheat more easily. I just play in a nice cool space.

I also got these cute cap coverers for the joy stick. It's supposed to be a cherry blossom! It was also from amazon and came in a pack of four. I gave the other two to my friend who has the cute coral colored switch lite that would match well with it. The switch lite had such nice colors and the sword/shield edition looks great but the screen is too small for me and I need to be able to play on a tv because I have terrible eyesight. Anyway, I'm very happy with the switch I have now but if they release some sort of beautiful gold Legend of Zelda edition, it's all over for my bank account.
