>>51509406I have posted this before
I was ten when pokemania started in the US, I was born in 88
I didn't grow out of it, I was disappointed from the start. I wanted a cool game with these interesting monsters, but we were constantly shoveled shit
>r/bstory was lacking, had a few alright moments, but I wanted more that what was offered
>snapwas shit, came here for a monster adventure not to take pictures
>stadiumgood post game battles, but not much else
>g/swas 12 at this point
Much better than the original but I just wanted more than what was presented.
I remember playing paper mario, and wondering why I couldn't get a story like this in pokemon,
reading both pokemon manga especially special I wished the games could be like this
Between the gap I got a PS2 for xmas and I played many rpgs
>almost all of the square rpgseven went back and played the SNES ones
>all of dragon quest up until then>lunar 1+2>golden sunwas lackluster but better than Pokémon
>played monster rpgs like jadecoon>played arc the lad realized it was made the same year as (r/g) in japanhere is the monster arena side game where you can pit party members and monsters you captured against other players. 20x better than any pokemon game to date
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw4rSpaiMyw&t=78sThe things I wanted to happen in pokemon games happened in this game.
>crazy missions like destroying a cultist outpost and leveling their base>destroying a monster creation factory> badess teammate moments>actually fucking up the mob boss instead of letting him go>pic related actually happened in arc the lad That made me quit pokemon altogether, I tried to get into it by playing mystery dungeon ranger .
Honestly Mystery Dungeon is what I was pokemon was from the fucking start world and story wise/
>INB4 furryEvery show had talking monsters/animals/mutants in the 80s and 90s zoom zooms; better than self insert shit.
