Brilliant video. Already got requests for multiple rewatches from an inspired 3 year old. I'll try to remember to warn them about using Darkrai if they get ideas in a few years!

The Gen 3 to 4 split almost worked by being transparent or not. Hmm. 3 is without hue? If because you aren't looking through pearl or platinum I don't think.... Scarlet Violet is the most awkward to work around. Neon? Or something lol

Ah, the Stadium 2 item boxes convention! 😊 (Or close to it iirc). I love that for Gen 1 + 2, 3 gems, 4...?, 5 colours, 6 letters, 7 celestial, 8 armaments, 9.. more colours lol

Saw you Game Gear posting recently, but are you sure you have the right "@". 😂 I'm in Europe. Not me!

I was taking a picture of that mirror move one shared in the book not long ago to show it off! 😂
My favourite deep cut on the official guide book was the advice to teach Blastoise Waterfall. Impossible.... But bizarrely time travel to Gen 2 can make it real!

Kaze and the Wild Masks. Really solid platformer (and heavily DKC inspired). You might have already played it!

I've a username too biased to comment but I've always enjoyed the PSG. 😂
Just having other conversations about it and reminded it probably gets a worse reputation due to earlier emulation inaccuracies, the missing "benefit?" of RF filtering many heard back in the day, and attenuating older speakers

The meta horror of dream like Tidus fade out. Poor poor Tidus.

I've only just started watching Flower Sun and Rain, now the siren song of re-watching ye play Gabriel Knight 2 strikes (again)!

That was such a wonderful read! Some beautiful CRT poetry in there to my ears. May I also hopefully have as much luck keeping my children from the "dark path" aka Fortnite et al

Great article. Love to see some of the localisers go on to get paid for the new releases they contributed too, now officially.
Getting a glimpse of how much game engine work is needed to get English into old games is humbling, just seeing the many languages Phantasy Star on SMS can do thanks to fans
