Cheryl Used Phoenix Down!

Alright, let's start this baby back up.

I was greatly disheartened when I found out that my DS was malfunctioning, and it still is, at least until this weekend, when my most trusted source of technological maintenance - my older brother - will have hopefully found the problem and fix it. I STILL PLAN TO BEAT CHRONO TRIGGER.
In the meantime, I'm a Freshman in college now, and that means a lot of things for me:
1. I get to live away from home (YES), and I currently have a dorm room to myself.
2. I am learning how to live as a true adult. Y'know, washing my own clothes, getting to bed/waking up at a decent hour, doing my homework without being told, etc.
3. Having limited access to random games that I miss.

Note that, please.

Back at home, I could go to whichever gaming system I pleased, but now I have to request them personally.
With that said, I've turned back in time a few years to earlier handheld games. Yes, I'm now entertaining myself with the GameBoy. With THAT said, an idea popped into my head one evening. I can't currently finish Chrono Trigger, but I have access to most of my old GameBoy games. I am currently playing Pokemon Yellow (such a classic), and I've come to find personally that it doesn't get much positive attention these days, what with the shadowing over of the Pokemon world, the number of "catch 'em all"s sky-rocketing from 151 to 649, and if profits are decent enough, I can see more in the future. I can understand that people are no longer interested in these games as they used to be, but with the idea beginning to form in my head, I begin to wonder what truly happened behind the Nintendo and Game Freak scenes that caused Pokemon to fade into the background like it did.

So! Here's what I'm going to do - I'm not very far along in this game of Yellow. Using my intense fangirl powers, I am going to analyze Pokemon's progression from 1998/1999 to the present day, if not for my blog, then for me personally.
My journey will either start Wednesday or Thursday. Wish me luck!
