The only HM game I've ever gotten really into was Friends of Mineral Town, which I still play pretty regularly. I've always been interested in the series though, ever since the original came out on the SNES. I was pretty psyched for AWL too, until I read few reviews on it.

I just beat the third dungeon in Awakening Wood yesterday. The one with the

Emperor Bulblax

at the end. I almost crapped my pants when that thing came at me. Not as tough as the one from the first game, though, which was nice because I had about 30 red Pikmin to spare and 25 yellows still alive. I sacrificed a few too many on the purple Candypop Buds.
