Pokémon development history fascinates me like. Pokemon red and green were genuinely passion projects based off of very personal themes and which were kinda just assumed to end up as late game boy shelf filler but now they’re The biggest media franchise straight up.
and honestly knowing that makes stuff like the insistence on version differences and mythical pokemon make more sense. i mean yeah it’s capitalism obviously. they are like that simply to steal cash from you. but also like, the trading mechanic between red and green and the rumours of mew literally turned pokemon into a phenomenon and prevented it from being a forgotten rpg on a dead system. i’d be reluctant to remove what made my game go from an idea barely able to be pitched to the biggest sensation ever. like pokemon very nearly did not get made and no one expected it to be anything but another random game boy title no one would remember. and it seemed that way until those things meant people kept buying the games well after they came out!
like genuinely if you’re interested in pokemon or like. video games at all. look up the development of the first and second generation of pokemon bc we know an absurd amount about them and have a ridiculous amount of beta assets- we have an entire, mostly complete, early version of gold and silver that you can play. it’s an old demo so you can only play a little of it but you can literally play an incomplete build of gold and silver that just. is vastly different to the game we got. it’s insane. it’s fascinating seeing what changed.
Four rabbis are debating scripture out in the garden, and one of them notices he's continuously outvoted by the other three even though he's absolutely certain he's right. At a certain point, his frustration gets the best of him and he stands up, raises his hands and and says "My Lord, you must know that this is the right way, gives us a sign to let us know!"
As soon as he has spoken, a cloud materializes out of nowhere, moves in front of the sun and dissolves again.
The other three look at him, at each other, go "Well... That was certainly unusual, but the weather's been acting up a bit lately, so this does not really mean anything", and just continue with the discussion unmoved.
The fourth rabbi, increasingly desperate, again stands up and calls out "My Lord, they continue to defy your word, please send another sign to help them see the error of their ways!"
This time, it's not just one cloud, but the entire sky darkens, a thunderclap sounds and a bolt of lightning hits just next to the other three rabbis. They're startled, but after catching their breath conclude that no, you don't see that every day, but it's late summer, thunderstorms can come in surprisingly quickly, we're out in an open garden, there's no lightning rod on top of the synagogue even though there really should be, etc. So this still doesn't mean anything, we'll stick with our viewpoints thank you very much.
Now absolutely livid and still outvoted, the fourth rabbi gets up one final time, stamps his feet, raises his hands and shouts "Oh Lord, you who created all, for the love of your peope and the ways of the world, make your will known, so that it must be clear even to these stubborn mules!"
And a booming voice fills the sky, "HE IS CORRECT"
The other three rabbis look up, look down to their colleague, and finally one says:
They have even managed to get Nintendo DS games to work on this thing! You press r2 to bring up the second screen and l2 to use the virtual stylus. Games like Pokemon Black and Mario Kart DS work great!

This is for "Destiny" and "Winter King". I am not making a big analysis, honestly I have no idea where the miniseries is heading, but here are a couple of points I want to make.
So, to start us off, this is obviously Snake on a Nokia phone... the controls for this thing were absolute garbage but it did the job. Is the snake eating little bunnies????
