Party
UPS
I popped in my Pokémon Red cart after 25 years, let’s all judge my Elite 4 lineup
Dusting off an old game and cracking into your save file is always a gamble. Those batteries aren’t exactly famous for functioning decades after their prime, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I popped my original Pokémon Red cart into an Analogue Pocket. Would it be a reunion with old friends or a bittersweet funeral with no guests? Amazingly, all my old pals were right there waiting for me, and it’s my pleasure to present the party I sent into the game’s Elite Four battles. Judge away, reminisce, but please, hammer, don’t hurt ’em.
