I'm 99% sure it was Super Paper Mario that made me at once interested in game narratives and game design. Everyone knows how engaging and interesting the story is, how fun the worlds are and so on and so forth. But not enough people talk about how FUNNY the game design is.

I don't think there's ever been a "mainstream" game that willingly fucks with the player as much as Super Paper Mario does - certainly not back in 2007 at least. It takes your expectations of both platformers and RPGs and just openly disregards them so many times. It fucks with you but its almost always incredibly funny. Its telling jokes entirely through its design. Its brilliant.

I think I am the way I am partially because my first ever big video game with a story was Super Paper Mario. The narrative is kickass but honestly more than anything I haven't seen many examples that come close to how visually coherent Super Paper Mario is. The amount of geometric shapes in the art direction of the game really drives home how many characters could only exist in 2D, which really drives home the ability to swap to 3D!!!! It's so cool!!! and all the weird equations in the sky and the bizarre (even for Mario standards) enemy designs and the way each world seems to have a unique pattern to the way the world layout is stylized.....its absolutely incredible

Hi, sorry this is long but I just want to say your last two posts are so right.

When I was younger, I felt like I was doing something wrong watching shows that were "made for boys" just because I was born female (I'm non-binary though)

I didn't get into Pokemon when I was really young, likely because of that, but when I got into it when I was around ten I felt like I had to keep it a secret that I liked the series because I thought I'd get made fun of both for it being a kids show and "for boys" and that really shouldn't have been the case.

I realized that was stupid about two years later and I've been in the Pokemon community ever since but it still really sucked that I thought that at the time.

Honestly, when I heard about Horizons last year and found out that Liko was going to be the new protagonist, one of the first things I thought was that finally people wouldn't be able to tell girls that pokemon is "for boys" and that they won't be made to feel guilty for enjoying watching the series because they think it's "not for them"

I'm really glad that it seems like that's been the case so far, I seriously love Horizons and if kids/teens are able to enjoy it without being made to feel bad about it, that's even better <3

🥺🥺🥺🤝🤝🤝 ogh my god this ask made me very happy to read. i’m glad you were able to eventually find somewhere in the pokemon community that you’re comfortable in and YEAH!! i had a ton of emotions when i heard about liko being a thing. i don’t hate ash, i love him actually, but it was weird growing up feeling like girls could only be an accessory to his narrative (and tbh sometimes ones that made me frustrated even as a kid) and to finally have a girl protag is like holy SHIT!! and she ended up being Good and well written too!!

i’m happy you feel similar to me and happy you’re enjoying horizons!!
