I've given it some thought, and single player games may be the most difficult challenge known. From Pokémon to life, tasks tackled alone prove... formidable. Yet, it seems they also offer an equivalent reward. In fact, it was from a game I came to appreciate that, hard work is its own reward.
My motivation for moving forward involves the games I did not complete in my past. Imagine that?
The neatest feature of Pokémon Emerald (aside from remaining a 16 year old classic) has to be the in-game clock powered by the battery. Real-time events occur like the growth of berries. It's a touch of reality that brings art alive, I recently learned.
But here comes the starter dilemma. Which one's for you? Fire, Water, Grass..? Hoenn, a region mostly dominated by water, would wash out any spitfires trying to spark a blaze. Can't hurt to have more water, but a Water-type... could prove ineffective. So being the pragmatist I am, I picked the picture of success, the Grass-type Treecko.
Named my Treecko, Chico.
It's as easy as that, folks. If I said it, then I meant it. Very little can prevent it. Online, multiplayer games taught me much about myself and others, but I'm still soul searchin' in my local solo play.
Hard work is its own reward.
