Pokemon Leaf Green 0.1

Hello humans, it's been a while. I've been overwhelmed with life things recently but enough about that boring crap, here's some slightly different boring crap.

So as you probably know I'm working on a hack of Pokemon Leaf Green (and if you don't know; welcome, it must be your first time here, you poor, poor soul), the hack is shaping up pretty nicely in some respects however when it comes to creating new and unique areas I suck, big time. Now don't get me wrong I can map just fine; in fact here's part of Pallet Meadow, an area just East of Pallet Town which will include special things...

Pokemon Vs Digimon

Hello humans. Recently I've been playing a fair amount of  Pokémon  as well as working on that Pokemon hack, but now I've also started re-watching Digimon. Now I know at the time of these franchises being released there was some disagreement in the playground as to which was better. Pokémon  had Pikachu, Ash, Brock, Misty, Team Rocket, Office Jenny, Nurse Joy, Professor Oak and well  Pokémon, and Digimon had Agumon, Gomamon, Gabumon, Tai, Matt, T.K. and the rest of the kids and of course Patamon!

At the time I loved both more or less equally, though I think I may have leaned slightly more towards Digimon. Thinking back I find this weird because while I was an avid follower of the show and collected Pokémon  cards and stickers (who didn't) and was obsessed with Pokemon Red, I didn't really consume that much Digimon madness. The card game made little sense to me and I never owned a Digimon video game, so why is it that I'm so drawn to this silly little show about kids and their guardian monsters? I think that last sentence may just be the answer, while  Pokémon  was something I understood from my experience with the games, Digimon seemed more enticing and special because every child had their own unique Digimon during their adventures in the digital world.

You're not here for simple musings about the past though, so let's spice this up a bit a pit the two shows against each other in a poorly thought out "which is best" analysis!
