I really miss my childhood so much. Like, primary school days. Not that I don't like RGS life; I do, a lot, but some things just cannot be replaced.
Listened to all the Pokemon and Maple soundtracks and BGM while trying to find a suitable piece for my history and SS, and all the nostalgia just overwhelmed me.
Pallet Town in Pokemon - where everything started. I remember the first time I played, the first Pokemon I ever caught (Pidgey), the first starter I chose (Charmander!!!!!). And the first time I battled Frederick and Gerald through the adapter and the first time defeating the E4, the first time I caught Zapdos - with a masterball cause I was noob like that - and the moveset of my first Charizard - Fly, Flamethrower, Dragon Claw, Strength. Like seriously that music brings so much memories. And then I got Emerald and I stayed up late to defeat the first 2 gyms in a day (My starter was Treecko!!! 8D) And how Gavin would call me randomly and we start discussing and talking about Pokemon. Omg those days when we were still innocent and life was fun ): Back when the most powerful Pokemon was Mew, the concept of PMD Red and Blue was so new and exciting and the DS the modern day iPhone 4S. I kinda grew up with Pokemon anyway, when Pearl and Diamond and the FR&LG arc of the manga was released. Then now there's Black and White, 'Ultimate' Pokemon like Arceus and shit lol no don't they ever get tired of thinking up of new legendary Pokemon concepts??!?! are they gonna have a Guardian of Fertility legendary or what lol idek
P3-4 life was the best I think, cos everyone was so immersed in Pokemon Emerald and PMD and Maple! Sigh Maple - remember my first character called Chris902 and she was a level 32 FP wizard whole 28 strength (extremely screwed up in terms of AP and damage, but what the hell.) The game was more fun than it was now despite all the various patches and new jobs - mainly because the maple community back then was so much more welcoming, its gameplay was more about FUN and getting to know more friends and not about money and @cash and damage potential, levelling was HARD but FUN and not just repititve grinding like it is now. Mainly because of the community change though. It really sucked when I returned to maple in Dec and found out that after all those years of absence so much has gone. Level 100+ already but it's not that fun anymore. :-( aiya but still level 100+ so hey always a good thing. Even with PWP recently introduced everyone was about the points and fighting and omg idk it just makes me so sad. Cos I feel like part of my childhood is gone with those patches and changes.
Once again I'm reminded of how I don't want to grow up; I'm not ready or willing to become more mature and be a GROWN UP but.. Time marches on and leaves nothing but faded memories and broken hearts. ):
