Nostalgia, we all love it, and we often find we don't have a clue why we loved it when we go back to see it(Though that's not always the case.) Because of a certain thread ( http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.150081 ) I was reminded of a few games from my past, and now I have a quest.
I now stand here, with a DS lite (Black), a Gameboy Advanced (Silver) and a Gameboy Color (Badass yellow special edition pokemon version). I have decided to undergo the task of reliving my nostalgia. First, I shall beat Super Mario Bros. 3, and then I'll undergo the daunting task of playing through every pokemon game I own, which spans the entirety of the main series. I have Red, special Pikachu edition yellow, Silver, Crystal (Gold could not be found and is presumed MIA, sadly), Ruby, and finally Diamond. I will play the original 2 on my original gameboy, the second trilogy (of which I'm missing one) on the Advanced, and the rest (Ruby and Diamond) on my DS. Such a daunting task will take me an insane amount of time, as I plan on completing these games to their fullest extent, which includes the legendary pokemon, Elite fours, and creating a somewhat dream team (I have no intent on 'catching them all', as that would be beyond insane.)
Such a task, I do not take lightly, and I will have to take a break in it when I get newer games, but I am quite up to the task of beating each game, for Nostalgia's sake.
And for the discussion part, as otherwise this is just a blog post or status update, I ask you: Have you ever committed to a task like the one I shall soon partake in, simply for Nostalgia?
