Got back on Pokémon GO and Pokémon Masters at about the same time. Masters mostly because I used to treat it as a somewhat idle game for my phone and I wanted that back. I level up "improperly," by sticking my characters on the Legendary Adventures battles having them autobattle for that sweet stamina-free 4,000 XP. (Ignore that huge pile of Level-Up Manuals in the corner.) There are definitely better idle games also accessible on mobile, even a Pokémon-themed one (although I'd recommend you play that on a PC), but I wanted to play what I wanted, and so I redownloaded.

PokéClicker, the idle game I just mentioned, has been on hiatus for a bit, as well as my run of HeartGold SoulSilver (also my first mainline game, whoops! I learned Pokémon by pop-cultural osmosis, then Pokémon GO and large doses of the Pokémon page on TVTropes.org, and finally by trying a mainline game… probably not the way you are "supposed" to do it, but ah well). Lyra's been trapped in some Rocket Hideout, if I recall correctly, for awhile purely because I cannot remember what I was doing, and I'd rather start over all the way than just look it up.
