Gotta catch’em all
Hello. My name is Grace Teng, and I am on a quest to diploma every mainline Pokémon game.
A while ago, while reading about what Pokémon players needed to do before the closure of the Nintendo 3DS eshop, the germ of an idea took root in my head and refused to die:
I should diploma every Pokémon game.
The diploma, for those of you who aren’t familiar with Pokémon, is an in-game achievement in the mainline Pokémon games awarded to players who literally catch’em all.
As a kid, I completed many of the Pokémon games, but I never completed a Pokédex. Initially, I jokingly referred to this project as “Childhood Wish Fulfilment”, but as much as my inner child wants to keep that name, “Diploma of Diplomas” is a much better name for this project.
Streams and Videos
I’m streaming this project on Twitch and posting the videos to YouTube.
I don’t have a regular schedule, but I’ll try and put in at least an hour a week. This is going to be a very long-running project.
