/vr/ - Retro Games

If the nes or snes hadn't died by 1998 would either system have the graphics capability to run pokemon red/blue

Just bought this game, what do I do? Where do I go?

How old where you when Pokemon Red and Blue came out in 1998? Do you remember it vividly? Did you pick it up?

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 8 years old. I got Pokemon Red as well as a Red GameBoy Pocket to go with it for my birthday in the early fall. I will never forget it. As pathetic as it is to say, it is likely the highlight of my life - I was intensely obsessed with the game for months and months afterward. Ended up getting the trading cable, and traded with friends at school and actually got all 151 Pokemon (a friend got a Mew from a Toy’s R Us and we used the duplication trade cheat to give it to most of us at our school). Can’t say it is my greatest achievement, obviously, but as a child I had never experienced anything like it and still haven’t to this day.

What are your memories? Was Pokemon circa ~1998 one of the greatest fads of all time? Where Pokemon Red and Blue one of the biggest gaming “moments” of all time?

Piss easy RPG with shit graphics. Only thing that made it a fad was constant marketing and leveraging autists who have to "collect everything."

What retro Pokemon game would you recommend?

I played Pokemon Red many years ago although I've forgotten almost everything about it. I don't want to replay the same game again though.

I'm think about playing Pokemon Crystal since it lets you play as a girl and I'm a huge faggot.
