Genres:
Welcome back. This part of the series will be primarily focusing on genres. So far I have [Action RPG, Board Game, Tabletop RPG, Arcade Game, Third person shooter, MMO, Action, 4X (Civilization-like), 3D Platformer, Dungeon Crawler, Card Game, Point and click, Indie, Text dungeon, Souls-like, Stealth, Rhythm, Horror, Metroidvania, Survival, Sandbox, Shoot/beat 'em up, City Builder, Adventure, Simulation, Puzzle, Fighting, MOBA, Turn Based Strategy, Real Time Tactics, Grand Strategy, Mobile Phone, Walking simulator, Tower Defense, Sports, Idle, Trivia, Miscellaneous, and Casual] as available genres. Let me know if I missed something, and I will try to get it added.
This is eventually all going to get compiled into one megathread for people who want gaming recommendations from Chapos specifically. Other consoles and genres will come in sporadic subsequent threads. Please contribute to previous threads if you missed them. This is meant to be an exhaustive list.
Expanding on your choice(s) is definitely a plus. Not everyone knows about or has played non-mainstream titles.

Just hog-wild with content, the fastest battle pacing in the series by far, a dex full of useful mons, trainers/bosses are stronk enough to be a decent threat, and a fucking 𝓅 𝑜 𝓈 𝓉 𝑔 𝒶 𝓂 𝑒
