Forgive me if I’m about to say something stupid; I’m not an expert. The number seems impressive, but how much did they spend on Metal Gear Solid 5? From what I saw, the budget ended up north of $80 million. That’s 8.5 trillion yen. I’m guessing pachinko costs a bit less.

Am I correct in remembering the first gym in Yellow being absolutely miserable because Pikachu is so weak against rock? And you were basically forced to get a Butterfree to even get through it? I don’t know, I was like ten at the time and remember really struggling.

Also, the end of No More Parties in LA samples NBA Jam!

Amazing song. Classic record but easily my favorite song off it. Kanye flipping an Otis Redding sample six years before Watch the Throne, and Jon Brion’s orchestral interlude into one of Kanye’s greatest verses. Earth shattering.
