On September 18, 2013, I accidentally deleted my saved game file, and ended up losing all my Pokémon in Emerald. I'm still having trouble getting over it...

Description: As Pokémon White had turned out to be a great game, I decided to try out the sequel as well. And oh boy, was I impressed. Being able to turn something so perfect into something even more perfect is why I love Game Freak. Rival: Hugh Badges: Walkthrough status: Completed

Initial Hall of Fame team
Achieved on December 27, 2015.
For some reason, when I tried to continue the game after entering the Hall of Fame, my save data apparently got erased for some reason, forcing me to start over.
Description: After finally buying myself a used Nintendo 3DS XL, I was finally able to start playing Generation VI. And oh, boy, did it feel good to do so! Rivals: Serena, Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor Badges: Walkthrough status: Completed (main game and Looker Bureau plots completed, doing random post-game stuff, including Pokédex filling and Battle Chateau (current rank: Duke) whenever possible and I feel like it)
Description: Upon wrapping up my Pokémon X walkthrough, I decided to patch the loss of my latest Emerald walkthrough by playing one of the much-hyped Hoenn remakes. Rivals: May and Wally Badges: Walkthrough status: Completed (filling the Pokédex whenever I feel like it and have a chance to do so)
Description: This playthrough was first lost about halfway through, likely due to a misclick, which is why I had to restart it over from the beginning. Rival: Blue Badges: Walkthrough status: Completed
Description: As I finally managed to fix up my DS emulator, I decided to put the lessons I got from Chuggaaconroy's Pokémon Platinum Let's Play into practice and play through the region I have the least experiences of once again. Rival: Barry Badges: Prints: None Walkthrough status: Main and post-game plots completed, planning to possibly take on the Battle Frontier at some point
Description: When I finally managed to make my laptop run the DS emulator at a proper speed, I decided to play through one of the Johto remakes again. I ended up losing the SoulSilver version of this playthrough twice due to technical difficulties, but the HeartGold version went a lot smoother. Rival: Silver Badges:
On August 29, 2017, something apparently went wrong while I closed down my emulator, and my near-completion SoulSilver save file was lost. I swore myself to redo this playthrough one day once I would've had enough motivation to do so.
In either later 2017 or early 2018 (can't remember), I restarted this playthrough, with the intent of recreating it as faitfully as possible. In January 2018, after arriving at the Pokémon League, I decided to lay the game down for a bit and do other Pokémon-related stuff. In June 2018, I finally picked the game up again and grinded my team to be ready to take on the Elite Four. However, when I picked the game up on June 10, with the intent of starting my long-overdue Elite Four challenge... the save data was gone. I still don't know how or why. It had just vanished without a trace. My heart and soul were in tatters. Yet another game, with over 30 hours worth of blood, sweat, and tears put into it, all gone. Rest in peace yet again, you who I had worked so hard to bring back to life...
Description: With the new, highly hyped Pokémon games out, of course I had to buy and play one of them. Choosing Moon over Sun was a no-brainer for me, I'd choose Lunala over Solgaleo any day. Rivals: Hau and Gladion Trials completed: Walkthrough status: Main and post-game plots cleared, completing the Zygarde Cube and Pokédex, currently on hold
