Share that rewards experience points to your entire active Pokémon par My taste in entertainment media, including video games, have changed a lot since my childhood and adolescence. {% cite "Cassette Beasts" %} instantly became my favourite video game ever, and not just in the monster collecting game genre, from the moment I started playing the game, to the extent I have created a [shrine](/shrines/cassettebeasts/) for it on this website as well.
