So.... the color palatte of gen 1 was destroyed by fire red and leaf green.... those are actually gen 3, but meh. Pokemon red and blue were on the game boy so no color was even there anyway, but with the game boy color and pokemon yellow, they finally created a color palette for each town .... which was the towns name....
shout-out to Chris! Handhelds have always been just as important to me as the home consoles. Everything from the OG Gameboy and its evolution that went hand in hand with Pokemon, to the PS Vita which is my JRPG machine.
I will always miss Chester. Very few celebrity deaths have affected me the way his did. Dude was one of the main voices of my angsty teenage years and young adulthood.
Damn ok this video opened up so many deep memories for me that I wouldn’t have remembered. Here’s some of mine… so my older brother is 5 years older than me and exposed me to all of db/dbz/dbgt in the 90’s, because he BOUGHT all the BOOTLEG VHS off eBay before they existed in the US. And I’ll tell you, the images they created when you lined them up were spectacular. I miss those even today. So I watched all them in subtitle just cause it was the only option. I never got to play most of these games. They were a little too late for me. But what I do remember is finding all the Japanese games and trying to figure out how to play them but never succeeding. I dumped so much time into trying to get the right setup. I eventually did get to play the first legend of goku and budokai. I had (and still have) a ton of the action figures. And I also got a WWF wrestling ring. So I spent hours developing tournament brackets that played out myself. My best friend in middle school (who sent me this video) and I would draw and trace DB characters ALL the time. He eventually became a character design artist for Cartoon Network and worked on Craig of the creek. Him and I would also get in trouble at school for play kamehameha’ing at each other- to the point where our gym teachers embarrassingly asked if we were holding hands, probably just to mortify us. I also collected the cards for a while. Getting that cell saga Gohan is as one of my proudest moments. Oh and POGS yo we had a big collection of pogs from when they were popular. And when I was a kid I noticed a ton of them were DBZ so I went through all of them to find all the DBZ pogs and put them into sleeves and everything. When super came out I was floored. I hadn’t been keeping up with the franchise for years at that point but it totally brought me back in for a while. And I binged that in my room with no one to share it with. Shoutout to everyone and their best friend who teamed up to obsess over DB together. I miss that kind of dedication. Thank you internet pitshop, thank you to my best friend in middle school and older brother, and thank you Akira, Rest in peace.
Omg I had to come back to say remember one of the first DBZ fanfic videos BEFORE RU-vid (on newgrounds) was “dbz in a nutshell”. I thought it was the funniest thing when I was a literal child.
Since I'm among peers here, I think it's the best place to say what I've been saying in places with fewer cultured kin: the GBC game Dragon Ball Legendary Super Warriors is one of the best of all time. It's fast-paced, covers the whole dbz story from radditz to buu, has many secrets, unlockable characters, special cutscenes based on your chosen characters, some extra content like what happened to other characters during the main story and a scene in the future as Gohan trying to beat the androids. SO MUCH good stuff 🐉🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
One benefit for me with more stylized graphics is that it is just far less taxing on the hardware, meaning you can have one setup that then lasts you far longer than if you constantly try to keep up with the latest, most realistic stuff. Some of my favorite games are those you could probably run on a toaster, literally in some instances.
This is an incredibly disingenuous video. It's like those really annoying attention starved theater kids trying to show off the 2/5 talent they have in productions they don't actually care about, but they know will get them exposure if they act like they care. From one stranger to another, Pretty sure I summed you up, incredibly accurately. Also your audio quality is awful, fix it.
My favorite atmosphere in agame would be dead space. Especially the remake. Listening to Issac breathe with like 1 hp as I limp through pitch dark corridors, swinging every corner with my pulse rifle like its R6
great video man, you show how much respect and adoration you have for him and DB. God I'm 30 and i remember the offical wiki page had a DB AF section. Kids today just don't know what being on the internet was like in the 2000s
Found DBZ on Toonami at age 6 back in 1999. 25 years later I'm still a major fan. My kids like it, my wife grew up watching it, and I have a couple of tattoos. I also tried to hide my fandoms in the mid 2000s in middle school. In 2006 if you were caught reading manga or comic books before the MCU boom you were a fucking loser and got ridiculed. It was in my early 20s I dived back into everything without fear of judgement. I got all the bricks on DVD and when I was 22 I rewatched Ball, Z, and GT. I found my experience profound, a joy I hadn't felt since the early 2000s. This series means the world to me, much like the generation ahead of mine latched on to Star Wars and Star Trek
I love your videos, bizarrely I find them soothing. I wasn’t much of a dragon ball fan. I was a sailor moon girl but I grew appreciation by the anime chat rooms I frequented having such vocal fans, I had to check it out.
See if you hadn't given up on nerdiness in middle school your Goku would've been stronger and you would've hit that kid with a "Hey you're pretty strong, keep training and come back. I wanna fight you again." Before helping him off the ground. Real ones know.
Jeez some of the music in this really sent me back, especially the saga select song from raging blast at 40:00. Thanks for the video it was fun to reminisce!
The Legacy of Goku games are my ultimate nostalgia as a child. I really wanted Pokemon saphire when it came out and my parents couldn’t afford it, instead getting LOG2. It was the best mistake ever. I play Log2 and buys fury every year at least. The music and atmosphere is unmatched and always wished there was just more of that.
I've seen this video been recommended to me since 2 years ago and decided to only watch it now. I think I am mostly with you on this. I always think to myself "Are old pokemon games really better or am I just nostalgic for that era?". I don't want to sound too full of myself but after having replayed every region in the recent years, I can safely say that the region design itself has gone downhill. You mostly talk about towns in this video, and only a little bit about the routes. That's fine and I think showing off mostly the towns illustrates the point very well. The route/dungeon design of Pokemon for a while was quite solid, but for some reason they forsook that type of design for the liniair caves we see today in alola and galar.
I’ll save y’all some time watching this video. This guys is a Zelda fanboy who’s just tryna get views. He says the “world is boring; that it’s empty.” It has been made clear by every gaming company is existence that this is not true.
