Hey there!
My name's Alex, and I've had this game and many other BYOND Pokemon games on my mind on and off ever since it kind of died. I played this game under the name Shadow, (edgy, right???) and I vividly remember so many aspects of this game, such as the maps, the pokemon sprites, that one dude who was 12 years old like me when I played and wore a Snorlax trainer sprite. I remember begging my mom to let me donate money to Aezu so he can maintain the server, and getting legendary pokemon from the tokens I got in return. I remember the implementation of the IV system and how some pokemon had hidden attack typings that didn't have STAB but still did decent damage. (Vaporeon and Ninetales were completely broken). I had an eeveelution team, and it feels like the greatest burden having lost them in this game's death, as getting that many eevees with good IVs was so hard. I remember Macro training despite it being against the rules, but to be fair, I usually did it so I can eat and watch the game simultaneously. But anyways, I am typing this out because I am turning eighteen in a month and considering I was one of, if not the youngest players in the game and I just can't believe how much time has passed and how much this game, along with Pokemon Redstone, Pokemon Red Steel. and the other games are responsible for my love of gaming, and especially Pokemon. I miss you all, and looking back at these ad-riddled forums feels like some metaphorical death or something like that. I doubt anyone will be reading this, but if you are, I was hoping maybe you can contact me? I'm not asking for a real conversation if you're not comfortable with that, of course, but just knowing that someone else out there has this in their mind would sort of resolve some deep conflict within me. My email is Lalexinn117@gmail.com, and unless you're a bot trying to sell me something, you're totally welcome to just send a quick "i exist" message to me or something! honestly, if I could have one wish granted, it would be to experience this again, and have PSW reopen. Aezu, wherever you are, we need you...
Sincerely,
Shadow (AKA Alex)
