If you think this was one of the first memes, I have news for you. All Your Base was popularized, as a memetic phrase, in 1998, with the song being released in 2001. We Drink Ritalin is from 2002, and these are the most popular of that time period.

Even earlier were the Dancing Baby, Hamster Dance, and Alien Song,…

I love my Chrono Trigger. One summer in the early 2000's, a friend and I were talking RPGs, and he started talking about Golden Sun. I’d never played it, but I asked if he played Chrono Trigger. Nope.

So we traded games, and I played through GS and TLA, and he played through CT. It was a beautiful summer. :) He once…

One summer changed my gaming life, at a strange stage between pre-teen and teenager. Between Ocarina of Time and Final Fantasy IV and VII, the middle one I emulated on ZSNES, which couldn’t even display the transparent part of the mist in the Mist Cave properly.

This. My SO made it a point from day one to get every single Warframe without paying. I believe his Gara finished building this morning. It’s entirely doable, and odds are if you want something enough to pay platinum, the player-based economy will be more than enough to fulfill that wish. I’ve sold so much stuff for…

I play on the Xbox One side of Warframe, and likely won’t switch because my accounts three years in over there, but it is an AMAZING game, and worth getting into. I love the parkour from day one(even more so after the 2.0 update after I started playing), the weapons are great and with a wide variety of them, you can…

There’s one exception to Microstransactions being more than cosmetic, and that’s Warframe. A lot of time you do have to work for stuff you can pay for, but it sort of feeds into its gameplay, and in no way are you penalized by not paying money.

My thoughts exactly. Currently playing through Persona 2, though my first taste was SMT on SFC through fantranslation.

It really comes down to this sounding like an SMT game using a Pokemon facade. Really.

I think it’s nice to have an old standby, but your point’s valid too. Have you ever played Coliseum or XD?

You know, it doesn’t look bad, and I might give it a shot, but tbh? Tajiri has gone on record saying Pokemon Special is the closest vision he had to his own regarding the Indigo League games.

Also, cults, demons, mon games, Shin Megami Tensei games anyone? SMT was deconstructing Mons tropes before Pokemon codified them.
