[Alight]

It's been years since I'd last seen this. It's still beautiful and wonderful to watch even now. It was nice coming back and seeing this again, remembering when I'd show this video to my classmates and such if the teachers would allow me. I just always thought it was that great, and I still do.
Hope you're doing great these days, King.

I wonder how many ships you're going to end up building, Gildy. I love this animation, it's vibrant, fun to watch, and it further shows how great animated Gildy is.

[Super Mario Bros. Z (Episode 1)]

I'm so glad to see this series' reboot has begun! I can't wait for the next episode!

[Sonny 2]

The Sonny games, my god, it really has been ten years, hasn't it? When I found Sonny 1, I had a blast going through the story, trying out the different classes, and figuring out what I preferred in strategy. When Sonny 2 came out, I found out in a store selling computers, when I used one to pass the time. I came here, to Newgrounds and on the homepage under new games, there it was. Sonny 2.

I was excited to play it, to go home and use the desktop to choose one of the new classes, to further the story, and to beat the shit outta d-bags.

It's kinda surreal looking back and saying, "It's been ten years."

But it's a good feeling and I will always appreciate these games.

[Epic Battle Fantasy 3]

The Epic Battle Fantasy games... Funny how I can just look back on EBF3 and see it as nostalgic as the first two, maybe moreso. I took to it for the increased freedom and control the player is offered over things like difficulty, the ability to grind and explore for weapons and items, as well as hidden secrets and Trophy rooms.
EBF1 and 2 are fun as well, and I had my fair share of time spent on them as well, but I'll always remember EBF3 as my go-to for a fun time.

[Armed with Wings 1]

God, I was such a little ass back in the early 2010s.
These games have and continue to be fond memories of mine these days and I always will love the silhouette aesthetic and music.

[Goldenrod Nitelites]

Short Tales - Golden Nitelife

This city was large and almost mazelike sometimes. It was certainly a behemoth, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't all that different from Celadon. My friend, Lyra, she'd tell me I haven't seen anything yet, she'd tell me I haven't seen it really shine. We checked into a hotel, I fed my Pokemon and made arrangements with Lyra to go eat out that night, after I tackled the gym that is.
So I went out and battled through the Normal-type nightmare that was the Goldenrod gym. Whitney was an annoying little brat, using cheap tactics with her damn Miltank and being overall childish, but me and my team won in the end. By the time I finally got my badge from the brat, the sun was already coming down.
Lyra came by to fetch me and my mood had soured, but she gave her condolences and insisted I'd feel better once I stepped outside. I agreed that leaving the building would probably be best, but she wasn't referring to that.
When I stepped out, the sky was in its last moments of light, fading fast. Taking the sun's place were a myriad of lights and decorations filling the evening with soft colors and a welcome air. Cafes and restaurants set their establishments aglow with a warm white light, the Gamecorner's varied entertainments spilled music into the streets, and the radio tower lit up like a christmas tree. So this was the draw of Goldenrod?

This was when the city was most alive!

[Lavender Chill - Pokemon]

Woof, that short story I wrote years ago was edgy as hell. Dear God, what was I on?

Well, anyways, this Lavender Town cover is nice and spooky, chilling as the name indicates. It has almost a surreal vibe to it, like your having nightmares. Perhaps we're being prayed upon with Dream Eater

[Ecruteak City - Pokemon GS]

This song feels to me almost like a nighttime theme, a song faintly playing as you catch a room at a hotel, cuddle up to your Pokemon, and sleep well into the night. Beautiful song, my friend.

[Standoff at Gudsforoth]

Yooooooo! Hello, Sgt! It's been a long time! How've you been? I like your dargon!

[enjoying yourself?]

Boo-yeah!

[Sucky sucky]

So you're telling me that she's a succubus and having sex with her will cost me my soul and I'm guaranteed death the moment I stick my d*ck in her?
Well, no better way to die!
