I picked up a save file in Explorers of Sky from a few years ago recently. Had finished the game up to the Sky Peak stuff and then put the game down at some point. Decided to come back and do basically everything I could to put a bow on a childhood favourite, so to speak, and move on.

Now, I had Time and Darkness before this, and I do distinctly remember a few things from my very first playthrough in 2008. Sneaking them out of the Christmas present to play early, bashing my head against Primal Dialga for days because I had no concrete strategy or Reviver Seeds left, the escort nightmare that was Cresselia, doing all the Seven Treasures stuff. And lastly, attempting Zero Isle over and over and getting nowhere because I really loved Rayquaza at the time (still do) and couldn't understand why the legendary that steamrolls the endgame of Emerald and basically any postgame facility you put it in couldn't succeed in a dungeon that starts off with babymons. In fact, today I got super nostalgic and looked for my old Explorers of Time copy, still with that same savefile from nearly 20 years ago now, oy, and it's obvious that I stopped playing at the end of a Zero Isle attempt.

So, decided I would make kid me proud today in Explorers of Sky. Got really lucky with the run and picked up a Warp Scarf around floor 40. Next up is Destiny Tower!
