Sorry, guys, but I honestly don't know if I want to keep this up. I started this thread with the idea that it'd be really fun to do this sort of thing. After that initial excitement wore off, though, I realized it's not nearly as fun as I'd expected. It feels like work to set up every episode, and that's not the mindset I had anticipated at all. If you're not enjoying yourself while doing a little project like a let's play, what's the point, y'know? Like, I've been avoiding using the computer just because I don't want to sit down and pound out a new episode.

Mostly, though, I'm disappointed in myself for letting you guys down after all this; you guys showed a lot of support, and I'm being a total asshole for shattering your expectations. I feel a sort of obligation to continue because of you folks being so supportive, but again, if I'm not having a fun time doing the LP, it's just a grind to fulfill that obligation. I think that's not the right mindset one should have for this, so as much as I hate letting you guys down, I'm just not having fun.

Again, I'm sorry about that. I may or may not continue the series, but don't be surprised if it just ends here.

Man, I feel like such a dick for doing this.

But seriously though, I dont think anyone thinks you're a dick. Just take a break, play some pokemon just for the sake of playing pokemon, and see how you feel about it after a while. The desire to continue the story can come back, even if it takes a long time

Went back and read over yours, you were incredibly fucking awesome for starting it. Shame you didnt continue it (or get your pokeball icon)

Thanks man!
The only people on TL that get custom icons are the ones that put in an absurd amount of time and effort for no personal gain to make TL a better place. I dont even come close to qualifying, I've barely ever even contributed something to a discussion.
I stopped mostly for the same reason as Archas, in addition to the fact that it became hard for me to keep coming up with stuff to say about the screenshots, or make it more interesting than 'i went here and beat this trainer'. In fact I have a whole 2 pages worth of screenshots just sitting in a folder on my PC at home which I just couldnt think of a single thing to write about.

I did say I was gonna finish my thread, no matter how long the delays in between, though I feel like at this point noone would really bother replying to the thread anymore and that defeats the purpose of an interactive thread
