>>21461322>>21461299I played Earthbound recently for the first time.
There are way too many similarities to pokémon. I cant remember them all but it made me feel that GameFreak was heavily influenced by it when making Red and Blue. Never seeing your dad, your not so friendly hometown friend, the big city with mafia on it, a kid with a red hat who rides a bike, cute pink monsters from the moon...
I dont know if all early 90`s rpg were like this (probably not) but Mother 2 gives a huge Pokémon feeling.
