Developer: Game Freak
Publisher: Nintendo
Platform: Game Boy Advance
Release: March 19, 2003
- Mr. King's 105 hour save data on the cartridge I bought, clearly hacked and all. I couldn't just delete that.
Summary
The third generation of Pokémon and the first title for the Game Boy Advance. I honestly forget the name of the region, but there is lots of water and Water-type Pokémon. Game Freak was in their stride with updating, revising, and invigorating the formula.
Acquisition
I bought at a local shop with credit from trading in duplicate copies of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, alongside Tony Hawk's Underground, and The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King from a Goodwill bundle and the Final Fantasy XV collector's guide and a physical Gwent set that I had. Quite the eclectic trade.
Memories
I don't have many with this iteration of the series. My experience came later with Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. For some reason though, I loved Mudkip as a kid. So much, that it became my handle that has haunted me to this day—mudkip143 (it rhymes if you spell it out). I think "i herd u leik mudkips" was the first "meme" I grabbed ahold of me and my funny bone.
