Damn Gamefreak, I thought this was a kids game…

And the loan shark ends up giving the player a Loppunite... huh

I think what's the funniest part here is that the guy almost fell for the frightened man saying he wasn't home and was actually ready to leave

Its no surprise that game developers hide this kinda things in games just for venting or mocking purposes, it has been happening in the gaming franchise for a really long time

even in a world of magical animal-like creatures, no one can escape the irs

This is why the player doesn't try to get a house.

the overhead view of brendan waddling across the mall is so funny to me

Given that it's a remake it makes sense. Most of us who played this as kids are grown up so it's like a tease lol

You forget the dude on the top floor who tells you his job makes him dead inside 😭😭

The limited buildings you see in the Pokémon games are for the gameplay's sake. Canonically, there are many buildings in the Pokémon world. The 2D games make sense to allow our imagination to fill in the gaps.

This series has a habit of slipping in things where the developers expect people not to look. PokeStar Studios in Black 2/White 2 had a lot of weird endings where you get killed by aliens, horrifically fuse with a Pokemon, romance a 1000-year-old witch, and more things just because the devs knew the average player probably wouldn't engage with things beyond the surface level good endings if at all.

"a frightened man's home". Come on bro

I still love to think about that fact that there are pokemon that are said to just straight up kill kids in their pokedex entries

Same area where you meet a powerless and depressed Mr. Bonding. Where you find a U-Turn in his balcony...

Wait till you go to Sea Mauville and find the female trainer teaching a blushing young girl "how to hard it is be a trainer"

I love how they’re deliberately walking in the center of the path. I do that all the time lol

I love this about ORAS, it was clear they kept in mind that people who played the og RSE grew up in the meanwhile from many little details and dialogue here and there. It's really sad that ORAS got a bad reputation initially just for the lack of Battle Frontier. Sure it was a disappointment, but it's unfair how many people decided the whole game was garbage just because of that and XY-style EXP Share. 3D Hoenn looks amazing and some new areas like Sea Mauville are visually amazing. Even Sky Pillar looks very good despite the lack of its iconic og puzzle.

People always think Pokemon's a kids' game. Then Gamefreak throws in scenes like this. And it's every generation

Another example is the guy in Petalburg with the existential crisis

Adult life in a nutshell :'(

I think this is just an attempt to let the people who play the game that: 1) the pokemon world isn't all sunshine & rainbows 2) how life really can become when you get older
