32, living in SoCal. I’m a lifelong gamer, collector and Nintendo aficionado. I’m a huge Legend of Zelda and Pokémon fan, and I mostly stick to solo action/adventure titles. On my blog you’ll find reviews, first impressions, snippets of my collection, and backlog progress!

In January, I mostly revisited some old favorites and worked on my backlog, and I’ll be continuing that in February!
I’m over 130 hours into New Horizons, my first ever Animal Crossing game, and it’s safe to say I’m a little obsessed. I wanted to share my daily checklist since I’ve found it helpful in making sure I don’t miss out on anything I want to do each day.
As a longtime Pokémon enthusiast, I had mixed feelings about the newest releases Sword and Shield when I started playing them. The game certainly looked beautiful, and I loved the new Pokémon designs, but like so many I was quite disappointed by the news of Dexit. In the end, I loved this game and feel that Sword has taken the franchise in an awesome direction.
I hit a pretty big milestone in my gaming collection recently - a full set of Pokémon core series games! I was missing the original Gameboy version of Gold and when my brother heard that it was the only one I didn’t have, he generously gifted me his childhood copy so I could have the full set.
I’ve finally gotten started on my Zelda Timeline project, and recently completed my first playthrough of Skyward Sword. Maybe it’s because my expectations were low - this game seems to get a lot of hate - but I really enjoyed my time spent exploring Hyrule’s distant past!
As a lifelong Pokémon player, I was initially wary of the changes in the Pokémon Let’s Go games. I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy a beautiful nostalgia trip through Kanto - albeit with a few caveats.
When I recently replaced the dead battery in my Pokéwalker, I was surprised to find a Pokémon from an old HeartGold save file still in it! It took some trial and error, but I was able to reset the Pokéwalker even though the original save file had been erased.
One of the reasons I love the Nintendo Switch so much is that it’s so much easier for me to find time to play it! I’ve been spending a lot of time on long plane rides lately, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite accessories for traveling with my Switch.
A quick roundup of what I’ve been playing the last couple of months, as well as documenting my progress on my backlog.
