As regular readers of TheGamer (Gamies, as we call them) will know, I’m currently around calf-deep in my retread through Pokemon Blue’s Kanto. In my attempts to understand what makes the region so eternally compelling, I’m replaying the game in short weekly bursts, trying to take it in as a tourist rather than seeing the world as filler content in between battling and catching. Right now, I’m up to Cerulean City, and found the city itself to be deeply soulless and empty, but the surrounding areas to be so full of life and character that they make up for it. Within this surrounding area you’ll find Bill’s house, and while I did mention this in my travel column, I feel the need to go back and explore it in even more depth because seriously guys, what the fuck?
