Hello everyone
Lots of updates and feedback lately but I have something to bring up that I know there's been a lot of support for!! Back on Azurilland we had a forum event called Azurilland Plays where we did a community playthrough of Pokemon games, similar to the progress lounges we make for new games on release. The point is really just to relive a past game with the rest of the community, and it took about 2ish months per playthrough.
One minor thing is that I think it might be better to call it "The Marriland Forums Play [Game Title]" instead of Marriland Plays, since the latter sounds a lot like a youtube series that Marriland himself would make hahah. We could shorten it down to MarriPlays if we're just referencing it since Marri's been a pretty consistent nickname for the forums and it feels separate enough from Marriland himself that it wouldn't be too confusing.
On the old site it kinda got a little stale when it was literally always going on, and we breezed through a lot of games like it was nothing. I think that this time around, it would be better to have like... 3-4 a year or so. If we have them take two months, we could do one month in between each of them and have 4 a year, or a two month break between each one of them and have 3 a year. What do you guys think would work better?
Lastly, what games do we want to go with? I think that B2/W2 would be a great game to start with on the new site for a few reasons heh. It's a pretty popular game and we haven't done it yet, but since we started with BW on Azurilland it would be kinda cool to do B2W2 on this forum. After that though, where do we want to go with it? I know in the past we brought up playing non-Pokemon games, but would anyone be interested in that? Maybe playing through spin-off games? I'd like to get more input about those kind of things.
I'd like to reboot the series some time around mid-March. Do you guys think that's would be a good timing for it? And would you want to participate?
