Top-Favorite Series: Pokémon
| When I First Played: | Summer 1999 |
| First Game: | Blue Version (Charmander was my starter! Heh, I thought that Charmander would have the same mechanics in-game as in the show! XD;) |
| Favorite Generations: | 3rd (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire), 6th (X/Y), and 7th (Sun/Moon/Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon) |
| Favorite Pokémon: | HA, heh, too many to list on this page. Click here to see my list! |
| Why I Love It: | Nostalgia plays a big part for sure. Not just longing for simpler days, but also because Pokémon was my first RPG series; I can't help but relate the mechanics of every subsequent RPG I've ever played to Pokémon's! It's just how my brain works, I guess! XD Besides all that though, I love so many of the designs (Pokémon, trainers, regions, items~)! It's been a massive source of inspiration for me. <3 I've lost count of how many original Trainers I've made over the years, and I've even made a few Fakemon, fusions, and Pokésonas, too! I've also met so many friends through it, and it was one of the things that my husband and I bonded over in the beginning of our friendship! |
Sonic the Hedgehog
| When I First Played: | My 5th birthday, 1993 |
| First Game: | Sonic the Hedgehog (1) for the Sega Genesis (it was my birthday present!) |
| Favorite Game: | Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (the remake for the GameCube; it's also the version on Steam) |
| Favorite Characters: | Sonic, Amy Rose, all the adorable little Chao you can take care of. ;w;  |
| Why I Love It: | Another one with massive amounts of nostalgia for me. As mentioned above, I got the 1st Sonic game for my 5th birthday, and it was the first game I ever owned (my parents had an NES and an Atari before I was born and I'd played those, but Sonic and the Genesis were mine.) It was the first thing that I remember really inspiring me. As far as I can recall, a little stick-figure drawing of Sonic and Tails in the back of my kindergarten yearbook was my first-ever fan art. And I have no idea how many fan characters I've made over the years (a lot of them just in my mind, I never drew them). Nowadays, I love the humor in the cut scenes! But I think the biggest reason why Sonic still holds such a high place in my mind and heart is the Chao Garden. Please Sega, just give us a stand-alone Chao Garden game! ;w; |
Kingdom Hearts
| When I First Played: | Early High School (so like, 2003-2004?) |
| First Game: | Kingdom Hearts 1 (borrowed from a friend) |
| Favorite Games: | Birth By Sleep for the Ability Creation system! KH2 for the story and expanded lore! |
| Favorite Characters: | Sora, Kairi, Axel, Aqua |
| Why I Love It: | I've been a huge Disney fan my entire life, so getting to go around a bunch of different Disney worlds helping to save them is just right up my alley! And combining Disney with Final Fantasy? Yes please! I love Sora's growth throughout the series, and Kairi's too, for that matter! I just want them all to be happy. ;w; |
Genshin Impact
| When I First Played: | October 2020 |
| Favorite Characters: | Yelan, Cyno, Heizou, Itto, Ganyu, Kazuha, Kokomi, Lisa, Nahida, Qiqi, Sayu, Sucrose, Tartaglia, the Traveler (I play as Lumine), Paimon |
| Why I Love It: | Visually, it's a lovely game! There are a lot of mechanics in it I love as well, like gliding and zipping around with the Four-Leaf Sigils in Sumeru~ Primarily though, it's the story. I can rarely predict where it's going, and my goodness, it makes me feel so much. Laughter, shock, joy, and sorrow. I can't wait to see what happens to the twins, and Teyvat as a whole! |
