Of my memories around video-games, one that's stuck around in my head for quite a while, is when i was interning at a company for a brief spell at the end of my second year of university, where i basically spent the whole time playing Pokemon on my phone. Sure, i had a project to work on - and i did do it - but i also had a desk in the corner of quite an empty office (maybe people were on holiday ? not sure..), so what can you expect..

I had loaded up a few GBA games on my Android-something of the time, and i decided Pokemon would be good for the (frequent, and sometimes extended) breaks. I can't remember exactly which game it was (Ruby, Sapphire? definitely a GBA one), but i had a good time with it. A little frustrating sometimes, and almost nauseating to someone with even a little bit of OCD, but building up a team, and then building up a bond over time with that team, is a great feeling, and probably part of why the memory has stuck so long

All that's to say, that Coromon summoned back those memories and feelings pretty easily. Over the winter holidays i had a lovely time once again catching a grass-load of (poke)'mon and building up a team that i felt strong attachment to by the end. And all of that with many of the frustrating snags sanded off - lots of quality-of-life features have been added and the whole thing has been nicely modernised

If you're also looking to relive old memories, or if you want to understand what the fuss about Pokemon is (without having to go back to the old games), then i can easily recommend Coromon for that. It's a remake of the GBA/DS generation in everything but official capacity
