When I first started to play the games on the original Game Boy, I was young and definitely saw the appeal. I'm not entirely sure that I even realized I was playing an RPG at the time, though; I saw Pokemon as being completely different and unrelated to stuff like Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger. As I got older, I slowly realized that the series was deeply rooted in JRPG archetypes, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I think the series serves as a really solid introduction for kids who might normally shy away from games that don't involve shooting or punching someone in the face, and I see the series as a gateway of sorts into a few other long-running series."
The future could be filled with revived Nintendo DS classics. Hopefully it happens!
My kid yesterday proclaimed he liked the DS more than the Switch because the controls work on the go. Then I asked if he would rather have Monster Hunter Stories 2 on Steam or Switch and he chose Steam. So proud!
Materia Collective is excited to announce Time & Space, a grandiose orchestral arrangement album that explores the rich mythos of the Sinnoh region in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

"What are the best Pokémon games? The impending launch of Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee have got us thinking about the franchise's history. Ranking such awesome games proved a lot more difficult than we first anticipated, given how most of them ended up being crowned as the best games of their particular generation."
