It doesn't have to mean you're tied to that game's story. It could be for aesthetic, vibes, memories or features. Which game do you feel like is just the perfect backdrop for you, like how RBY is to Red?
For me its Pokémon Black. I didnt get to play these game when they were new, and now they're so much buried under the sequels and their features. So all my experinces with them feel super personal and self-contained. Also I interpret the differences retroactively from Black 2 so it feels like a lot of things are toned down and refined for a more personal experience. And the color of course! Best thing we have next to a Pokémon Pink っっっっっっっw Maybe i'd play Pokémon Vantablack. Also the urban vibes meeting lots of explorable and dynamic nature I mean this game really has everything, and since I usually am playing all the games simultaneously the lack of features like Battle Frontier or following Pokémon truly dont bother me bc I can pop over to those games and do all that stuff with my exact Pokémon.
TLDR Unova really just feels like my region, and Y as an extension of that. Black wins over White in the vibes department and I really don't like Rosa sprite + Cold Storage is a baller location and welp there you go
I'm curious what it is for you guys? Anybody main a side-game? A home console title like XD or PBR?
