I find that I have been doing this a lot more lately, more because of the fact that when I purchase a game I play the absolute living daylights out of it with playthroughs that definitely exceed the amount I could count on my fingers for just about any half-decent RPG now days (favourite genre) and I find that the starters just feel so boring after awhile and I need that extra variety. Heck, who needs a Blastoise when you can have a Golduck!? Anyone...? Yeh probably just me xD
