Here lately I've been playing pkmn again and noticed that I've been playing the games a lot differently than I did ten years ago. Back in the day, whenever Pokemon was just getting popular, I was 9, and therefore just plowed through the game with the same team. I'd build my char-volutions to annihilate (because I always pick charmander in the beginning!) and not give much thought to the other Pokemon in the game. I'd also glitch my rare candies and masterballs by using our favorite #000

But now I've grown up. I'll spend two days (real world days nontheless) in between towns training, swapping out pokemon from the pc and just hunting. It's weird how a single cartridge can evolve with your age and go from a simple game to a complex, statistic counting, mathematical puzzle.

Who else has grown up with this game and realized that it's a completely different game then when you started?
