13:00 OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!! you really stimulated a spark within me when you mentioned Pokemin Colosseum. To me that's my number 1 favorite game out of all the gamecube games I have. I bought that game by accident at a swap meet of someone selling gamecube games at that time when I was little. I asked for Super Smash Bros. Melee but when I opened the case, it wasn't the game but Pokemon Colosseum. First, I had doubts of playing it but i still tried and till this day, i have never regret of purchasing the failed game case because the game felt much better than super smash bros. Melee( I played it before with neighbors). But seriously, I regret now of not paying any attention of Nintendo's accessories such as the link cable to recoeve jhoto pokemon from Colosseum to the Polemon GBA games.

My dream would be they can make another spin off game like it but for modern consoles. I couldn't get into the latest spin off Arceus as it felt like I was just a Pokemon farmer, who literally had to catch em all over and over. Agree with the accessories, I think Pokemon Bank filled that gap for awhile but even that is gone now. Maybe if they did a device like a tamagotchi/digivice and you could raise your Pokemon from a game outside while you weren't playing then it levels up in game when you go back or gets stat boosts. One can dream haha

@@Astralbeargaming I think we had a device similar which is pokewalker but during the time when Heartgold and Soulsilver first came out. There also was the e-reader card scanner that I missed out on when I was little. I agree with you that Nintendo should bring back these games to the Switch and Switch 2 but who knows when that will happen. Yes, I started to grew tired of Pokemon right when Black and White came out but I still rather play Black and White 1 and 2 than the rest of the Pokemon games that come after those releases.

Aladdin is one of my earliest memories of beating a game and Lion King is one of my earliest memories of absolutely giving up out of frustration over a game. I think the snes remains my favorite console all these years later. Too many good games to name them all; super mario world, dk country, super metroid, castlevania, demon's crest, f-zero. And on and on into infinity. Great video!

@Astralbeargaming I almost bought it based on the great reviews and awesome trailers - but the price here in NZ is very steep (for you probably too), so I hung back.
