I didn’t have a Gameboy until I was… too late.
Are the original Pokemon games worth visiting for the first time? I know there is some nostalgic reasoning to play them, but should I try it as someone who hasn’t ever played one?
Have any of you done this?
I never had a chance to play them but my friends did. I have FOMO from not ever playing it.
Well if fomo is making you want to play it, use an emulator because moving around is soooo slow ! :) But the music rocks and it’s nice. Idk I didn’t play many Pokemon games but as a kid I was obsessed with red blue and yellow. For some reason I didn’t enjoy crystal that much and I liked emerald kind of, but then I stopped playing Pokemon games pretty much after that
Now I understand why people were saying with fast forward. I’m wondering more and more why so many people loved it.
Well at the time of it being around, handheld was novel. Before pokemon was tamagotchi for me. So pokemon was hugely expansive. It was just a different time
I had a giga pet. It was the only choice and it was novel. Now it’s nostalgic.
Then just imagine for kids back then pokemon to be like tamagotchi/digimon with a story and collection haha! That’s basically what it was, and the artwork was so fascinating for what they had to work with back then. It felt so whimsical and alien with the designs back in those graphics.
Before yellow, red and blue just had this otherworldly look and feel to it. And the pokemon universe was brand new, so it felt so mysterious.
I’ll never get that. It’s too lat to heal my FOMO. :(
