The Pokémon HeartGold Randomiser run wrapped up yesterday with the Pokémon League rematches, and I have to say that while it was a spur-of-the-moment thing due to the (still ongoing and annoyingly slow-moving) PC repair arc that's put the Persona 5 Royal run on hold, it was probably my favourite of the Pokémon randomiser playthroughs so far. I feel like the seeds I got for LeafGreen and Ruby ended up giving me too many powerful Pokémon too easily, but the HeartGold run played out in a way that gave me a pretty realistically balanced team for that game's endgame and led to challenging close calls in some bosses.
I will say, though, I have seen feedback about the idea of doing randomiser playthroughs in general, and while I probably will do the occasional rando from time to time since I enjoy them (and in this case wanted to make it distinct from the vanilla SoulSilver playthrough already on the channel), I realise that they're not to everyone's taste which I can appreciate. It will be a decent amount of time before the next randomiser run to not overwhelm people who aren't interested, and also to not wear out the novelty for the people who have been enjoying them.
What's next for the channel? Well, the Game Boy Colour version of Donald Duck: Quack Attack/Goin' Quackers starts tonight at 10pm BST. While the PS1 version I covered back in January is a 3D platformer, this is a more traditional sidescroller with some charming visuals and somewhat absurd difficulty in the later levels. I hope you'll enjoy the videos!
