Pokemon Living Dex Challenge Update #1: Kanto

January 20, 2026 | Reading time: 2 minutes

Over the past view weeks I've been working on my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, and I'm almost done with Gen 1, probably my second favorite generation. I'm almost finished with FireRed, having beaten the Elite Four and most of the Sevii Islands postgame. The fast-forward feature has been a great...

Cat Quest

March 14, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Cat Quest is a simple hack-and-slash 2D action rpg. It's fun, simple, full of cat and dog puns. I had a good time playing it, but it's definitely "baby's first RPG". This game isn't doing anything new or novel.

Cat Quest 2

River of Stars review

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, movies, and anything else I find interesting.

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Another project I'm working on is my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, where I try to obtain one of each available Pokemon and transfer them into Pokemon Home.

Yet another project I'm working on is my Old School RuneScape "Completionist" Quest, where I'm attempting to max out all skills and see everything the game has to offer as a completely new player.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form review writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
