Satoshi Tajiri is a fan of Minky Momo. When he drew a picture of her in the fanzine Game Freak, Ken Sugimori (a stranger) said, "This is how she should be drawn!" & drew a picture of her in someone else's book, which is how he met Tajiri. Thus, Minky Momo caused Pokemon to happen
Good to know notifications are just a trap full of rage bait comments twitter keeps recommending me lol.
Genuinely avoid half of this site's pages for your own sake.
"His power level is over 9000? That's nothing, Gohan. When you grow up, you're gonna learn big numbers aren't everything."
"But—"
"Just listen: I have to blow into a little tube when I start my car."
"Okay."
"It's called an Ignition Interlock Device. Court ordered. It detects my blood alcohol concentration level."
"Uh huh.
"And if it's over 0.08%, I can't drive."
"Wow."
"Zero point zero eight, Gohan. That's all it takes to get a DWI. Remember that."
"Okay."
"Zero point zero eight."
"Zero point zero eight."
"And then it won't matter what your power level is because you won't be able to drive 6 blocks down to the nearest ABC liquor on a Friday night, and get yourself a little treat for being such a great coach."
"Huh."
"It's a travesty, Gohan!"
"A travesty."
"And I'm living it. I'm living the travesty."
"Coach, if you don't mind me asking—"
"Hm?"
"Couldn't you just walk?"
[pft] "Walk."
"It's only six blocks..."
"What's the furtherest you've ever walked, Gohan?"
"Well—"
"Cause I'll tell you right now: you get an apartment on the wrong side of town, you're gonna learn some blocks are longer than others."
"—actually, everyone in my family can fly."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Huh. That must be very convenient for you."
"Coach, can I ask another question?"
"Shoot."
"Why's it called a DWI?"
"Nobody knows, Gohan. They used to call it a DUI, but they changed it."
"..."
"And no one knows why."
If you're under 30 your definition of "realism" is completely divorced from the environment these games were made in. Back then Zelda was being made by SGI on $55,000 computers. They were comparing screenshots like this to Jurassic Park. This legitimately blew my mind as a kid.
