The only islands I completed were time warp, 24 carrot, and early Poptropica island. But I was lucky enough to play a bit of big Nate Island before it was taken down along with diary of a wimpy kid.

You know for a kids game the lore is surprisingly dark... They literally acknowledge multiple disasters throughout history where millions of people died, and go out of their way to NOT change it.

Well of course they don't, you can't risk having the timeline get screwed over because of some ship sinking. And God knows how the world would look like if there were no world wars (i'm really sorry but you get the point) There's a risk the world would've been much worse.

[@purplecow3000]

Remember when that Olypmic Games Island rose out of the sea for the summer (2012 iirc) and sank back down? A year or two later it rose up again and stayed that way.

Can we please talk about how on Shrink Ray Island the kid whose room you’re in just kinda has a toy of *the* Poptropica blimp, of which there is canonically only one, so this is a toy of *your* specific blimp, even if Shrink Ray is your first island. Also, after you get shrunk down, you can use the blimp as a blimp and just kinda leave and you go back to full scale and from there you can even redo the annoying bad terrible tutorial they added and get a new real blimp and bring it back to the island and so now that kid just owns a real actual blimp. This has bothered me since I was a kid.

[@kawaiibev]

A game that not only taught us, but also challenged us to problem solve. We need more games like this, it’s so sad that children these days are on social media instead of playing.

I remember playing Time Tangled island all the time, definitely was my favorite out of them. Also, didn't realize how much lore the books put into explaining everything, and somehow has a superior version of the TVA.

[@Sumschmuck]

Poptropica gameplay: it sure is fun jumping around the island and helping people with their problems. Poptropica lore: dead parents, murder, apathy in the face of genocide, and the inevitable unraveling of an already fragile space time continuum

Sometimes choopo says he likes reading, other times he says reading sucks, some people may find this an inconsistency, but I think this just means that choopo's clone escaped his laboratory from that one video and now lives in choopo's walls and sometimes he sneakily takes choopo's place in videos

[@charbe99]

which one hates reading? choopo or the clone?

[@Kyumifun]

I mean, it really depends on the book. Does it match your tastes? It's f-cking great then! It doesn't? Well too bad, reading it sucks. I picked one book to perhaps expand my taste in litterature and reading it halfway through completly sucked. That wasn't because the book was bad but bc it was a genre i'm not used to.

[@Nightswarmer]

As an avid reader, it's very accurate to switch between "reading sucks" and "reading is the best thing ever"

[@MikeJr9284]

I haven't played Poptropica in over a decade, so this lore is completely news to me.

[@oversleepn3337]

You can play the flash version of poptropica with Flashpoint Infinity!! I use it to play poptropica, emily's delicous, diner dash and the papa's games

[@senritsujumpsuit6021]

that program is so good it was surreal playing Penguin Dinner after like 14 years

[@happyclonetrooper]

as a big long-time fan of Poptropica, this made me so happy!! ❤ although the game/fanbase has seen better days, it still holds a lot of sentimental value to me and i enjoy making content for this niche community, as well as seeing fun vids like this! definitely would love to see more on some of the islands you didn’t mention much, like Survival, Monster Carnival, etc and perhaps more of the villains! :) oh yeah it’s also worth mentioning that in 2017, i was granted beta testing access to Poptropica Worlds and i’m considered a VIP (very important Poptropican) 🌟

[@pillboys]

actually really cool that you were(/are) such a big fan of the series that they noticed and brought you onto the team !!

[@ghoulbusters6805]

That’s so awesome!! It kills me that flash is dead and they never found a proper replacement that could support the larger chunk of now missing content. I know I just sound over-nostalgic maybe, but I really would love a massive comeback of the old games like Poptropica, Webkinz, Club Penguin etc. we absolutely have the tech and capabilities, and the love for these IP’s is still clearly there 😭

[@AthulReddy-cr8yr]

[@kalah_konquers1742]

I didn’t know Poptropica’s history was so rich- those graphic novels are interesting! I only remember playing during elementary school.

[@Sailor-Khione]

This game used to be my childhood along with animal jam. I also remember that I spent a lot of time just replaying the same island over and over and eventually looked up guides for new islands (because I got bored). Sad that you can't really visit your friends in the game like you could in animal jam. I think you needed to actually buy your own lobby to do that. I also had the Poptropica DS game only to unlock that clothing set, I then sold it to a second hand game store. Kinda regret it.

I loved Poptropica when I was a kid so I recently logged back onto my old account only to discover that on the free website version, they got rid of like all of the good islands: Vampire’s Curse, Skullduggery, Monster Carnival, Mystery Train, Ghost Story, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, etc. I really miss them.

That part about his girlfriend having to die in pompeii doesn't even make sense. She isn't an important historical figure, she doesn't die in a way that affect history, she is literally one of the masses that gets killed in pompeii. Why would it be an issue if she lived? Just take her out before her death to the future, then she can't affect the past and history literally would remain un-affected by her either way. I mean, heck, that is the way you could literally save every single person in existence. Just take them out right before they die, and bring them to modern day. Done.
