Ever since my sister discovered I had bought Pokemon Black 2, she's been visiting my room more often to try it out. I give her the same warnings on not using the Master Ball and let her play with it.


After she tried playing from the very beginning without saving (so I can still maintain my save file while giving her the tutorial), she said that the game looked impressive, and she'd like to play it if it's the last pokemon game on DS (I told her that the next pokemon games were going to be for the 3DS).


I didn't want to give it to her because I hadn't done everything in the game yet. I haven't finished the Brycen-man Strikes Back Harder movies, and I haven't caught a shiny yet (I did got one by trade, though...). I haven't collected all the medals, and I haven't fought all of N's seasonal pokemons. I haven't explored every single dungeon in the game yet - Black Tower and Benga are still waiting for me, and two or so mountains are still left unexplored. I haven't collected all of N's pokemons yet, and I haven't complete the dex!


But I have to face the truth - I won't be able to play pokemon much, and sooner or later, I'm going to have to move on. I'm already in a dilemma, and the prospect of the exciting Generation 6 is somewhat scaring me. I don't find Pokemon childish at all or any of it as kiddy stuff. The pokemon games are amazing and it has every right to be a sensation for more than 15 years.

Yet, I feel that I might have to let it go. Sure, I could buy the 3DS sometime later and maybe try out the 6th generation. However, real life is pressuring me to leave it behind in my past. There's also the truth of the upcoming Pokemon fan event in March - the participants have reduced to less than a half compared to last year's event. The Pokemon fan event had been one of the most popular events with lots of participants, but now I'm not sure...


Anyways, I promised to give my Pokemon Black 2 game to my sister after I complete the National Dex for the first time ever. I'm going to be really sad when that time comes for me to delete my save file forever and give it to my sister - but at least I know she'll play it well. She'll be coming to my room for advice on type advantages, and she'll ask me which is better, lemonade or soda pop. She'll probably tell me Elesa looks awesome, and do a fist pump when she finally beats Ghetsis. I don't feel so bad when I picture the scene XDD

I guess this is what you get when you've been into pokemon for a long time.
