Pokemon Has Finally Allowed Me to Overcome My Gen 3 Blind Spots Over 20 Years Later

The recent releases on Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2 have made it easy to revisit those games. Thanks to the Switch ports of FireRed and LeafGreen and the addition of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness to Nintendo Switch Online, I’m reliving my childhood and achieving a longtime dream.
