It honestly was a super relaxed experience. I just caught everything available in each wild zone as they became available, and would switch out my back-three team members to whichever pokemon needed levels to evolve.
And then trade-codes for trade evolutions. No shinies 'sides the one Mareep sadly😭

On the other hand, maybe I’m also having to face the reality that I *do* need to be selective with my hobbies. Dance Team performances/practices, battles, drawing, manga making, games, coffee making, plants, keeping up with various anime and manga, home decorating…
I kinda do this to myself 😅

I had so much fun with my first go through Scarlet that I’ve started a new playthrough on Violet! ✨✨

It’s basically JUST Animal Crossing New Horizons but with a more typical 3rd person camera vs ACNH’s top-down view of everything.

I LOVE THEM ALL!!!
