RedClayy: "The game that saved my love for Pokemon"★★★★★

Posted: 17/Jul/2019 21:41:10 (4 years ago)

I loved playing Pokemon when I was a kid, much like literally every other person on this site and tons more that aren't on here yet. But I'm not a kid anymore and I've done a lot of growing up since that first cyndaquil stole my heart. I don't have the time to sit on a GBA or a DS for hours at a time anymore, and for a while I forgot how much I loved Pokemon. I had forgotten how much time I'd spent coming up with stories of my own Pokemon adventure, building bonds with Pokemon that I loved in game and bringing them to life with my imagination. I'd forgotten how the shared interest of Pokemon had helped me be closer to my sisters when we were kids or how we'd have real life adventures romping around the woods or in open fields while we pretended to battle each other or train our (invisible) Pokemon. I'd forgotten because I grew up. So imagine my surprise when, about two years ago, I stumbled upon this site after trying to find some odd trivia relating to Pokemon. I'd snooped around the site for a little bit, clicked some parties, looked at art, etc. and decided that even if I could only come on the site for a couple minutes each day, getting back into Pokemon was something that I definitely wanted to do. Even though I left the site for almost a year for personal reasons, I came back and got right back into the game like I'd never left. I'm not quite sure what exactly it is that makes this game so fun even though the mechanics are basic (once you get the hang of it, I mean). I think the nostalgia definitely helps, but Pokefarm adds so much more to the experience and in such a different way than the actual games that it's its own thing. The small competitions hosted by the site every week and month are fun but in a different way than sitting down and playing one of the actual games for hours on end. Pokefarm is definitely more about the Pokemon community and our love for hatching and raising Pokemon than the original games. It's more personal in a way. It lets you connect with people that love Pokemon just as much as you do in a way that the DS games never did. Even aside from reviving my love for Pokemon, this site has helped me connect with people and improve my art skills. When I started an art shop, I wasn't really expecting much to come of it. But now here I am, a couple months in, and my art has improved since the beginning. In a sense, Pokefarm's forums are what made me try new styles and break out of the habit of only drawing one thing. Drawing for other people makes you want to do more than what you usually do, and Pokefarm is what allowed me to do it. This ended up being a lot longer than I intended, so I'll keep the conclusion short. Pokefarm is a fun and simple game that you can play between assignments (or during, if you're daring enough) that revived my love for Pokemon while also not being a huge commitment. If you're thinking about joining, do it. If you don't you're missing out.
