The Last Poster Wins! [v23]

[Neo Emolga]

2 of my co-workers who have like the Pokémon games and play. Both haven't played a Mystery Dungeon game before. I keep trying to convince them to play, but neither have caved in yet. One will try the new one coming out on Switch soon, but the other seems reluctant. I've tried telling her she could play as Eevee too (her favorite), but that didn't even work.

I remember practically dying waiting for the first PMD game to come out. The whole prospect of playing as a Pikachu in an adventure-style game was the coolest thing ever to me. I was messing around with the sprites and character portraits and stuff even before the games came out.

And man, the ENORMOUS SURGE of PMD-style fan fictions and RPs that came along shortly after. Yes, I generously contributed to that, too.

Yeah around the time it came out was when I was debating on leaving the Pokémon series. It was a tough time. I have Rescue Team a chance cause as a kid I had always wanted to be a Pikachu. xD So to see a game where we a the player "turn into a Pokémon." I thought it was the coolest thing! First game didn't have a huge impact on me cause I played 95% of the game with the sound off. I literally beat the game in a Mexican restaurant. Explorers though I gave more meaning. Played it at home most the time with sound up at all times. It also had the character acting like someone who legit didn't know what was going on, but tried his/her best to gather their thoughts and go at it with their all. Characters who like to think a situation out and I LOVED that.

The PMD is what helped me find places like this and finding some awesome fanfics. That's for sure. Honestly the whole concept is something they need to keep in mind and focus on for future games.
