Now I understand why people were saying with fast forward. I’m wondering more and more why so many people loved it.
Well at the time of it being around, handheld was novel. Before pokemon was tamagotchi for me. So pokemon was hugely expansive. It was just a different time
I had a giga pet. It was the only choice and it was novel. Now it’s nostalgic.
Then just imagine for kids back then pokemon to be like tamagotchi/digimon with a story and collection haha! That's basically what it was, and the artwork was so fascinating for what they had to work with back then. It felt so whimsical and alien with the designs back in those graphics.
Before yellow, red and blue just had this otherworldly look and feel to it. And the pokemon universe was brand new, so it felt so mysterious.
I’ll never get that. It’s too lat to heal my FOMO. :(
