For me, I'm nearly 40 and I really love Avatar the last Airbender, reading YA novels, and sometimes I make pasta with fun shapes, just because I can.

What do you enjoy?

Pokemon games. I played all the games up to the Gameboy Advanced, missed the DS and have purchased all of the switch games. My wife and I actually buy both versions of each game so we can trade and battle.

What do you think about the modern games? I can’t get into them

Not the person you asked but I had a blast playing Scarlet even though I didn't really like Sword all that much

Sword is the one I tried out and I did not like it at all. How does Scarlet compare to it?

I liked the open world and encountered very few bugs despite all the reviews talking about the bugs. The battles are the same as any mainline pokemon game for the most part. The entire game is in an open world I found very enjoyable to explore, personally. In sword I was a little disappointed by the very sectioned-off open world segments. The fact that the missions are laid out in a non-linear do-it-in-whatever-order style is quite nice as well, IMO.

Yes! I hated the walled off feel of the world in Sword, so it sounds like Scarlet is more my style.
