I made it to Cerulean city. Pikachu was feeling fine so we headed over to the gym. I beat the first trainer, but just barely. I figured we'd better do some training before we took on the rest of the gym. I met a nice lady who gave me a Bulbasaur and Pikachu leveled up. We were ready! The next trainer's Goldeen and Misty's Staryu went down easy. But then her Starmie started taking out my Pokemon with bubble beam. In the end, Bulbasaur saved the day and we got a cascade badge! #retrogaming

So, a game I remember being very middle of the road was Star Wars: The Clone Wars released in 2002/2003 on all home consoles of the time.

The Clone Wars isn't a bad game, but I feel it doesn't really do anything particularly special, and because of that, I am actually really struggling to talk about it. It's not like Bounty Hunter, which felt like it promised us the world and under-delivered. I will get to that one day, not this month, though.

The on-foot sections are somewhat trash in this game, so graciously, we only have about 4 in total, and they only make up a fraction of the missions they are in. Flying the troop transport is a bit odd as well, I found droid fighters would collide with me, and I'd come out worse for wear.
A lot of your time will be spent circle strafing in a tank, escorting or protecting mission critical allies, and probably feeling a bit meh about the whole experience.

As I said, it's not bad. But just painfully okay.

The kids brought me a cold from school. Luckily, I've got something to do. Me and Pikachu are off to stop Team Rocket from stealing fossils from Mt. Moon. Unfortunately, I got stomped by the first trainer in Pewter City. Not Brock but his flunky. Gen one is harder than I remember. #videogames #illness #retrogaming
