Got a question for you folks out there on the network. Especially the people who've been living in one place for a long period of time.

Have you ever had a moment where you just stopped and felt this looming boredom with the world around you? Like you've gotten so used to being where you are that it's become boring and something's tugging at you from inside to change that? I've been feeling a bit like that lately. Being in a safe and mostly stable place is nice, sure, but sometimes I find myself looking up at the sky and thinking about how big it is. I have the ability to pack my things up, get some friends together, and hit the open skies anytime I want. It's been a month since the last time I was on the road.

You folks out there who travel a lot, any places you'd recommend for a guy looking to spread his wings for a bit?

I believe the answer to this question would depend mostly on where you currently have been living.

After all, some towns here have polar opposites.

Violet, Goldenrod, and Azalea Town. I've spent some time in Kanto while getting the badge and HM for Fly. It felt nice to be getting around after being in Goldenrod for...probably three or four months.

I just want to experience something new. See new places and do things outside of the daily routine that living in a city puts you in.

I'm suggesting Saffron, because it's the opposite of Violet. It has a big, futuristic theme to it and it's the technology center of Kanto.

Goldenrod's opposite would have to be Cianwood, because it's a small island city. That or the Seafoam islands, which is a distant place filled with rare pokémon.

Azalea's opposite is probably Vermillion, a busy port town.

...A little bit, sometimes.

But it's nice not having to go somewhere different all the time... When I get bored, I can have my Pokémon come to get out of the city with me for a little while.

[Little brighter tinge in her voice.] I have an Alakazam, too. I could go back to a lot of places easy, when it's okay with my friends.

I am happy that we're gonna go to Ecruteak City soon, though.

I know that feeling. It's been a long three years. Unfortunately, there are no poorly labled dimensional portals sitting around in the woods waiting to be tumbled into so I've had to make my life interesting as best I can.
