This is just a thread to get Pokemon Snap its rightful place in the top 10

anon5266188 · 5 August 2019 13:35

Barely played any of em tbf

chanticleer · 5 August 2019 13:35

Blimey that’s a lot of games.

Avidly read N64 Magazine in the mid-late nineties and they massively talked up how popular and amazing Pocket Monsters was in Japan. When it got released in the US my uncle bought me a copy of Pokemon Blue on import in exchange for a few weekends of babysitting and I diligently played through it.

It was fun. I enjoyed it… but I played it alone without the ensuing Pokemania so I feel like I totally missed out. My younger siblings all love it but got into it well after it was released here.

Where do I claim my indie points?

Rarity · 5 August 2019 13:39

N64 Magazine was the absolute tits. So gutted I threw my collection away cause it’s almost impossible to find scans online

chanticleer · 5 August 2019 13:41

Boy am I about to make your day.

Really enjoyed the Lickitung sushi mini-game on the N64 Pokemon Stadium.

cutthelights · 5 August 2019 13:43

all the mini-games in that were class

anon73286315 · 5 August 2019 13:47

The only reason worth playing it IMHO

ericVI · 5 August 2019 13:50

I’ve never played a pokemon game

Rarity · 5 August 2019 13:50

I know about this but they only have a handful of them and I want a complete run

hip_young_gunslinger · 5 August 2019 14:01

Played Pokemon Red as a kid, have very strong memories of it, following a guide religiously, and spending hours and hours grinding with my bulbasaur to make him one-hit everything. Can’t even claim it was much fun to be honest.

This was the guide, it had stickers!

Watched the cartoon when it was on, think I always had general resentment to the franchise because of the card game though, I didn’t get pocket money and my parents (sensibly) wouldn’t buy me any, so it annoyed me when all my mates were swapping stuff and getting really into it.

I actually started a playthrough of Fire Red a few weeks ago and was naming all my mon after Dissers, not sure if I’ll keep it up though

Konichiwa_Bitches · 5 August 2019 14:02

Nobody loves anything as much as I love Pokémon

Ruffers · 5 August 2019 14:04

Fun is the wrong word. Insane dungeon design, overly repetitive gameplay, but really immersive and for some reason unrelentingly eerie
It’s certainly very GOOD though.

cutthelights · 5 August 2019 14:06

Yeah I said something about this here recently, the immersion is insane for such a simple game, you really become attached to the wee lads

Ruffers · 5 August 2019 14:07

it also just always seems on the verge of broken, the missingo stuff obviously but there’s something about the outrageous translations and the music, just gives it an otherworldlyness beyond a normal gameboy game

lastdino · 5 August 2019 14:07

The original 150 are still the best set, but I think Gold/Silver was the best game.

My young mind was absolutely blown when I completed the Johto Elite Four and could then return to Kanto after, especially given that getting games was such a rare treat. That level of extra content was very deeply appreciated.

The subsequent GBA and DS games didn’t make as much of an impact on me. So it was a real treat when Soul Silver was released and I could return to the world. Loved the pokewalker too, really got my steps up to and from uni.

cutthelights · 5 August 2019 14:08
