I never recovered
I couldn't put the work into Sapphie again
And then next gen I couldn't bring myself to do it either with all those lost Pokemon
I started playing again with X and Y and I loved that though. Clawitzer is the shit.

I put around 40 or so hours into Assassin's Creed 2, then, just before the climax of the story, I upgraded my computer and suddenly my saves didn't work. I read later that this was because of how awful the PC port was, which is no excuse.

How is Catalyst? I've heard some bad things about it.

Of course you can, it's very common.

It's alright, it doesn't feel like ME but it's a nice game on its own. The story is kind of a slow burner, so be patient until it gets good.
Gameplay / Level design wise it's really not to the standard of ME, but it's still fun to play.
It's a 6/10, maybe 7/10 haven't finished it yet thx to Origins

If your bank expired, you're still able to move all your pokemans back into your PC, Anon.

The event one? Maybe im wrong but I doubt im going to find a 3 year old event pokemon, let alone a un-leveled one.

I'd like to post a reaction image but I don't believe I have one that accurately portrays what I'm going to be feeling for the next 30 seconds or so.
>>345103163I was born in 1988. Either you're not so great at math or you've been """here""" longer than I have.

It's a common event, everyone got one. The event mon stats are probably shit, so people just breed and box'em forever or give it away. I would give you one but my PC is broken. You can try asking one on /vp/ on hack/wifi general.
>>345096584
Growing out of something is pretty childish.
>>345102287
Don't listen to him. Event mon like that are usually traded for rare legendaries
