My favorite pokemon game isn't really 'official'...
In a failed attempt to collect ALL of the existing pokemon games, I stumbled across something that struck me as interesting.
I had a gameboy & 2 psps at the time. My friend let me borrow pokemon emerald because I had already beat Ruby & Sapphire. Emerald would be the final test!
Boy was I wrong... That friend moved away, taking the game with him.
I never could find that game again; seemed like retro games were a "thing of the past"... Eventually, my goals changed (as many things do) & I was introduced to the world of Monster Hunter! I was instantly hooked by its story mode & the way you fight monsters. Later tho, I also had a friend who used emulators.
& THAT is where it began! xD
I found an emulator called GPsp where you could play gameboy games on Psp; I was hyped! I mean, after all, my pokefan alter ego still enjoyed those early Pokemon games. This is when I found Pokemon Flora Sky- a fanmade custom re-do of the original Pokemon Emerald! It was Awesome!! You could capture EVERY Pokemon, go to new places, & unlock new legendaries through story mode!
Pokemon Flora Sky was, & still is, my favorite pokemon game!
