Today I completed my 100% playthrough of Reborn!!! Main story, post game, max level cap, all side quests, full pokedex, all crystals, all tms/hms, all Z cells - all done! I decided not to use passwords or mods since I wanted to experience the game vanilla for the first time. I plan to do a monotype dark challenge run next, throwing in some passwords, and maybe a mod or two. I played E18 for the first time in summer 2019 and it reignited the love I hadn't felt for pokemon since bw2. I started E19 in April 2022, and it's crazy that I finally finished the game after all this time. The whole experience was overall very fun (and frustrating at times lol). I usually end a lot of games wanting more closure, but I feel very satisfied with the story ending (at least the one I got). I went in blindly and ended up on the "Zekrom" route. I'm happy that the characters I grew to love over the years got the peaceful ending they all deserve. Big thanks to the Reborn team for creating a great game that has a lot of heart and soul - you all rock!
(Tepig was my starter, and I brought Samurott to the Elite Four in honor of my Oshawott starter from E18!)
