The Pokemon Ranger series is my favorite. It is really impressive how they made a world that is so different yet still very Pokemon.

[@aleblasco39]

I still remember saving up for Pokemon Ranger 1 because it looked so different from the mainline games and I had to try it and I really enjoyed it. Also, Iirc my parents then returned me my money so it was actually free for me. Also, I love the box art with all those shining colors. Oh, an Shadows of Almia is pretty good although I've only see people play it irl. I still need to play that and Guardian Signs tho. I've a soft spot for Pokemon Ranger and I want a new one

[@sketchygarden]

Same reason I love that and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon!

[@misschaos4247]

God I miss the Pokémon ranger games so much, played Shadows of Almia, and the one after that but remember Shadows the most, haven’t played them in awhile but I remember loving the story so much, I just want that plus a mystery dungeon with our newest starters, I want to play as a scorbunny so bad!

1:35 To be fair, they called it the first movie because the sequel, known as Pokemon 2000 in the states, was already set to release in Japan. Remember, America is always roughly a year behind on the movies because the anime started a year ahead in Japan. Pokemon the FIrst Movie was already a year old by the time we got it

[@theycallmejojo6090]

The Pokémon TCG game boy games had some surprisingly decent tracks, makes me wish that they made more.

I only wish that the sequel’s soundtrack would get more recognition, because it’s way too good for it not to.

That's not really intellectual.. That would be calling it what it is in the west, in a video aimed at the west, when you know the full international details. It's so much better than being the 50000th time someone hears a "video game trivia wannabe buff" say "WELL ACTUALLY ITS DOKI DOKI PANIC, MARIO 2 IS THE LOST LEVELS ACTUALLY THATS CALLED SUPER MARIO 2 USA"

@Sato Look at you, deconstructing a joke. Aren't you just a lil' ray of sunshine.

[@theSato]

@@thyavenger9517 It's not much of a joke. Moreso pointing out that most people that watch gaming videos on YT know that the gameplay formula started with Panel de Pon, but that calling it out that way to a Western audience would just be silly.

[@otaking3582]

@@theSato Pretty sure that most people prefer calling it Panel de Pon these days, mostly thanks to Smash Bros (Lip's Stick, Lip's Theme, the Lip Mii Swordfighter costume, etc). Also, comparing this to Doki Doki Panic/SMB2 is a false equivalency. DDP was already designed as somewhat of a spiritual successor to SMB1, the main playable characters couldn't have been brought over to America due to licensing issues, and the characters, songs, and etc. that did make the transition have been accepted into the Mario canon. Tetris Attack, on the other hand, was a bastardization of Panel de Pon, removing all the characters and charm that the original game had just because they were afraid that cute fairies wouldn't sell as well in America compared to Yoshi and Tetris. Hell, Henk Rogers (the guy that helped bring Tetris to America and co-founded the Tetris Company) even admits that letting Nintendo rename PdP as "Tetris Attack" was a mistake, as he wished that the game was able to stand on its own merits.

[@theSato]

@@otaking3582 It's not really a false equivalency at all. I don't think Tetris Attack was a bastardization by any means. I get where you're coming from, but it doesn't really invalidate my comment. Sorry.

[@jonoinvielleicht4803]

NO! you'll better start with pokemon mystery doungen time/darkness/sky, altough I recommend sky for the new storylines that got added and the adjustments. This is seriously one of the best stories in the series! Never in my life would I have expected that a pokemon game would work THAT hard to tell a really good story with three dimensional characters and hooking twists just like that. The stories that came after that weren't nearly as surprising as in this era imo

[@retroprogamer7009]

17:58 Pokemon Typing Adventure is a DS Game not 3DS. Also you CAN use the Keyboard with something else. Its a regular Bluetooth Keyboard. Inside the Cartridge is a Bluetooth Receiver.

Wii and 2 are two of my favorite games of all time. They’re so charming and just amazing, and we’re a huge part of my childhood. It would be awesome if you gave them their own video. God tier games.

[@Krisipoke]

"Pokémon TCG had a Japanese-only sequel, but with the exact same music, sprites, cards, and maps" ...Excuse me? I hope this was just a slip of the tongue, and you meant to say that it had twice as many cards as before, a completely new island in addition to the old one, completely revamped and more colorful sprites (for the Pokémom themselves at least), sprites that convey your opponent's current mood, new music tracks, a completely new and different storyline, new characters, collectible coins, new possible rulesets, a game corner, and many other, minor additions.

One thing that still impresses me is that like in the past main games Game Corner was a thing and they never tried to implement the TCG or even Pinball machines on them, they could reuse the Ruby/Sapphire one without any changes, and yeah the TCG would need to be upgraded but this way would help a lot of people to know how to play it and could have mini tourneys like the Beauty Contest -that I still don't understand why they remove it-
