/vr/ - Retro Games

To me, the first generation was a REALLY immersive game because I grew up on the island of Karpathos, Greece, and remember taking my GBC with me to the occasional field trips our school used to have. We also used to have a relatively small farm with some chickens, and I think some sheep, which further alluded to the whole immersion. I never got the chance to trade my Gen1 Pokemon to Gen2 to teach them moves (there was only one kid with a Link cable on the whole island), and when I did (when I came to the USA and bought them off eBay), it was WAY past the post where they lost relevance. It was a nice feeling, but completely insignificant now. Now you can trade and battle Pokemon online without meeting people, which further removes human interaction.
