The Many Games at Once Situation

A very long time ago, I had discussed about playing multiple Pokémon games, particularly for the specific case of playing two of them at the same time. I had also included a blurb about the possible case of playing more than two - in other words, many - but it was more of an afterthought rather than a consideration. Now, in revisiting the topic, I have to bring up the consideration for an actual discussion, especially with the inclusion of a situation that reflects the consideration, and rather (disturbingly) well at that.

The situation is that in a video that made the rounds on social media some time ago, a girl was shown to be playing several Pokémon games at once, albeit on different screens. The games included a main series game and Pokémon Unite on two separate big screens and a few other games on smaller screens - Pokémon Go definitely being one of them. The girl was shown to be juggling the plays of the games like a madman (or a "madwoman", rather), and all this took place within the short span of the video clip; however, it is also implied that the actions take place for a longer time and regularly by its premise.

For that, the premise is that the girl is only given an hour each day to play through anything and everything she wants to play... and evidently by the video clip, she wants to play through all kinds of Pokémon games. So, the only option became the setup as seen in the video and the process of going through or juggling through all the games at once and then trying to make progress through each one of them in that manner. In considering the premise as something that is true, it may be that something is restrictive for the purpose of making the achievement happen, even though it is laudable in a way.

Personally, I wouldn't go to the same lengths as the girl in the video, although it is certainly tempting to set up something that is similar to that and play through all Pokémon games that one wishes to play in such a manner. There are, of course, many prompts for this, like the daily actions that many Pokémon games now have and the associated progresses that need to be made for them, so for someone (perhaps I myself) to create the setup for, say, three games at once may be something that could work out somehow.

It is a fact of the present life that Pokémon games are numerous, and the available hours of the day aren't, even if the latter remains the same as they have ever been. Either or both of these can totally be a prompt to play as many of them as possible within one time, just like what the girl did as shown in the video. For the most diehard of Pokémon fans (like me), playing many games at once may just be a consideration for the present, and very much so for all the possible plays that Pokémon now offers.
