If you could pick a game (or gaming series) to bring to life and have in the real world, what would it be?

Everyone's going to pick Pokémon. Even I would. That'd be sick as.

But if I had to pick ANY OTHER, it'd probably be Bioshock. It'd be sweet to have plasmid powers and there be Big Daddies walking the streets.

Or Left 4 Dead, since I like zombies. :(

:( I think I'd pick something relatively safe like Harvest Moon. Real-life Pokémon would be terrifying and almost all my favourite series would probably result in my impending death if they were brought to reality.

WAIT. NO. I AM ALWAYS SO BORING IN THESE THREADS.

If I knew I'd be awesomely bad-ass and wouldn't have to worry about technicalities (and assuming Pokémon is right out because it's the default choice :P), I guess it'd probably be Left 4 Dead or something teamwork-based. Hell yeah I wanna get my best friends together and go punch some zombies in the face. Worst case I just end up in an outhouse for a few minutes while they make their way over to me so we can resume the ass-kicking. 8)

Like you said, I'd go with Pokemon even though its a cliche answer.

There'd be nothing cooler than being a trainer, even if you were bad at it, it would just be a way fun experience.

Mass Effect or Star Wars would be mad cool too though.

Off-topic: You have the coolest avatar and sig, no joke.

Id pick Golden Sun, since im playing it. Run around town digging up random treasures, killing monsters, running up to other people and using your psyenergy on them, etc.

Summoning creatures/deities that could annihilate entire cities would be a nice School bully/thug deterent. No standing buildings within 10 miles, no school-bullies.

Haha. That's exactly why I'd pick Left 4 Dead. It'd be cool to just die, then respawn. Unless we're on Expert Realism. :(

Pokemon I'd pick Kingdom Hearts or Touhou. I'm leaning more towards Touhou as long as the world recognized the Spell Card rules. At least that way the swarms of bullets and lasers wouldn't be lethal. With Kingdom Hearts in the real world, we'd always be worried about having our hearts stolen. That's no fun.
You want battles? I got battles. (Note: 50/50 shot of 86420 erroring)

FF15 is secretly the real world. Moogles and Cactuars and Chocobos and Bahamut and hueg swords... And plot-irrelevant final bosses.

...And airships and Meteor and Dragoons and orichalcum and megalixirs and...


But seriously, Pokemon ftw.
Wow, this topic only has 8 views right now, but it also has 7 posts. In terms of percentage, that's pretty awesome.

Final Fantasy, for reasons too many to describe. But one of them is the fact that you won't need to go to doctor for simple fever anymore. There's always potions. :D

Pokemon. Because punting bullies with "cutesies" is more fun than getting yourself bullied.

Warcraft and/or Starcraft, because punting Zerglings with magical hammers that somehow chases down and stuns its target is fun. :D

Pokémon aside, I'd go with TWEWY.

...then again, it could actually be real, considering nobody's gone dead and back to find out.

Uh, I'd pick MapleStory, actually. Haha, if getting stronger's not as tedious, that'd be hella awesome, no?

For me, it would obviously be pokemon.
Because it's "outta bounds". I think I would love Super Mario Galaxy 2 to come to life!

Imagine, floating in space. exploring mini-planets. Smashing goombas while upside down!
It would be spectacular!

The Sims so it doesn't get too out of hand, just frequent burglaries and house fires.
Welcome to 1984/Brazil/a brave new world/any other dystopia fiction ever. Someone controlling everything you do? no thanks, buddy.

It'd be freaking scary to see Big Daddies roaming the streets, Klippy. Only if I'm a Little Sister would it be okay.

Anyway, I'm going to be ~obvious~ and say that I'd like to see the Mother series a reality. Cattlesnakes, slitherhens, ostrelephants...yeah, crazy creatures. I'd love to have a saxophone sound when I combo attack everything. =w= It'd be pretty badass, ngl. However, I don't want my family ripped by Pigmasks. And I am not moving to New Pork City.

Spoiler:
In a way, we are already living in a Mother 3 world, because we are so obsessed with technology and trying to make ourselves happy.

Erica, real Harvest Moon is called being a farmer...lol Minus the Harvest Sprites, of course. Always have Miracle Potion, though.

I would say Pokemon would be the most awesome to be real.
Just think,you have your own Pokemon and you get to adventure around and everyone [except for Team Rocket and other evil teams] would be friendly! Its like the best world ever
Left 4 Dead would be cool also since I love that game,but I would be sorta afraid when Zombies start running at me,I would be like "What the heck!? Zombies can't run!" lol but that would be if I wasn't bad-*** but I am so I would be like "Come on,bring it you zombies!".
Either one of those would be awesome.

I would say the T-Virus and G-virus zombies and monsters from Resident Evil 1-3, it'd pretty much seal my fate but a real life version of Nemesis and William Birkin's mutated forms running around seems pretty awesome though. :P

I'd like EarthBound to be real, it'd be cool to have psychic powers and attack various things with a bat. :)
