I agree. I've actually enjoyed camping...I usually didn't go much before unless I was with friends.

[He could have found a group to travel with here, mind, but he's found it's just been easier to do his own thing. Just him and his team.]

Don't push yourself of course, but you'd be surprised. I've come to like Pokemon here that I never thought I would have before, just by interacting with them long enough.

As for Flying, I ah...that isn't a hurdle I've gotten past yet. None of my Pokemon could carry someone for flying anyway, I don't think...but that's probably something I'm going to have to get used to eventually.
