These games represent the last time an 8-bit game was the most popular video game of the moment.
Naw, Pokemania was waning about two years after Red and Blue.
>>12913194While they certainly weren't anywhere near as big as the first two, they still sold better than any other game at the time. Pokemon was just that huge.
>>12913175jotho sucks though
>>12913175Retro? Yes, not retro? Plenty shitty indie 8 bit games
>>12917404Modern indie games aren’t literally running on 8-bit hardware though.
>>12917404>Plenty shitty indie 8 bit gamesRe-read OP. A game played for 5 minutes each by 70 people over a year isn't the most-popular of the moment.>>12917574>Modern indie games aren’t literally running on 8-bit hardware though.They absolutely are not, correct. It's 64 bit games with the look of 8-bit. There's a difference between that being the best you can do with the hardware and copying the appearance of something as a style choice.OP is probably correct.
>>12917614>It's 64 bit games with the look of 8-bit.To be clear I'm referring to the accumulators and registers in modern PC processors, 64 bit.
>>12913230Nah, the fact that every generation didn't sell 40 million copies is proof that everybody lost all interest in Pokemon.
The last 8-bit game to hit #1 on sales charts globally.
>>12913194/thread>>12913230>they still sold better than any other game at the time. Reserves from the Pokemania, everyone was exiting the hype the moment it was deflating. Even the devs admitted such.>>12918247Crystal is the worse selling Pokemon revision as of today.
Gold and Silver were incredibly popular
>>12919660>Crystal is the worse selling Pokemon revision as of today.happens to the first thing to do somethinggen 3 killed the mania btw
>>12921065>happens to the first thing to do somethingCapcom proves you wrong>gen 3 killed the mania btwPokemania wasn't even a big thing before the the 2000s hit, try again Johtoddler.
>>12919660Dude he literally says what killed the mania in the quote, it was Star Wars Ep 1. The mania came back when the honeymoon wore off and people realised Ep 1 was a flop.
>>12917768I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not
>>12918247Pokemania was dying out when this one released
>>12913175The average Johtoddler played this as their first Pokemon game at like 7 years old. They always talk about how amazing it was when they found out they could go to Kanto and battle Red. But if they never played RBY beforehand, how would they know what either of those are, unless it was some Lets Play child groomer who told them how amazing it was 5 years later?
>>12926031Wrong, I started with Ruby and then Leaf Green and going to Kanto in GSC made the GBA games look like a joke.Also no night and day made gen 3 look like a step back.
>>12926039Lol highly doubtful and NTA btw. Night day system sucked for an actual kid in 00 or whatever who had school, normal family life as was typical pre Gen z, and played outside with friends as was standard if not enforced
>>12926045Seeing the game turn to night and spiders showing up was cool as fuck, I don't know what family life has to do with this, the game turns to night at fucking 6pm o clock, you're not missing the day or night unless you do it intention
>>12926039>b-but what about day night cyclei wanted a teddiursa in crystal 2 hours ago but now that my team is level 25 that isn't happening lmao
>>12913175and it's pokeshit trash, what a waste and proof the masses are cattle for ever eating this dogshit franchise up
>>12926065That's on you for fucking up your team building, it's meant for first playthroughs and finding new pokemon, if you already know where all the pokemon spawn at what hour then you're doing a replay and it's your own fault for fucking up
