this pokémon black save has been with me since around 2013–2015, and i finally brought it back to life in 2025 with the help of a secondhand nds. i’m picking up the post-game again and steadily working toward the living dex and the side quests i never finished, mostly because it feels right to return to something familiar and genuinely worthwhile.

this constitutes as my forever save.
