NWR:
Curtis catches a case of nostalgia while going back to the craze that started it all.
I have a weird love/hate relationship with the original Pokémon games. As much nostalgia I have for the world, the monsters, and the simplicity of Red, Blue, and Yellow, I have always had a hard time going back to them. The games that followed it improved on so many of the the original’s mechanics, they always seemed archaic and janky by comparison. At a recent event, we got our hands on with the 3DS Virtual Console versions of the game, and while I’m still reluctant to say they’re worth playing again, it’s hard to deny it’s old-school charm.
Here are our top picks for the Creepiest Pokemon, and the dark lore behind them.
We’ve seen fan remakes of Pokemon games in the past, some very well done! Today, Pokebro on Youtube posted a video where he gave himself 2 weeks to remake Pokemon Yellow in 3D. The remake features a voxel art style and borrows some mechanics from both Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and Legends Arceus.
The average cost of Game Boy games has been steadily rising for years. If you look at the overall price growth, which has doubled within the last five years, then it should be pretty clear Game Boy game prices are following the trend of increasing retro video game prices.
You would have to be crazy to keep a Pokemon game in the box after getting it as a kid, though.
I still have my Final Fantasy Adventure and Zelda: Link's Awakening, but loose. I haven't had the box in... I don't know, a couple decades?
