Since we're (supposedly) on the topic of games that Pokémon drew inspiration from, has anyone noticed the striking similarities between Generation I of Pokémon and EarthBound? Funny thing is, EarthBound was made by Ape Inc, which happens to be known as Creatures Inc. (sound familiar?) in today's era.

I think the crude sharpie drawings are a good reason to live with Jigglypuff - it'd be fun seeing what he ends up drawing :D
Spoiler:

Actually I did that to my friend the other nught because she fell asleep around 10:30 and I got bored. It washed off in her sleep though so when we woke up I noticed it was gone and laughed asking how she thought of her face and she just blinked and I had to explain what I did. I also woke her up at 11 playing K Pop in her ear. XD

I've never actually played any of the Kirby games, only ever on Smash Bros. I was considering on trying Kirby's Epic Yarn around the time of release, but never got around to playing it. ;;
My brothers are playing that RIGHT NOW. I tried to play it on two player with my sister but appearantly neither of us knows the word 'cooperate'. XD it's fun, you should try it.

JWittz did a video where he discussed the same idea. There are quite a few more similarities between Pokemon and Earthbound/Mother. Like how Ness only has a mother and his father is absent (except by phone), which is the same in Pokemon in most of the games.

One of the early early Pokemon designs was of an ape wearing a baseball cap, which combines references to Ape Inc. and Ninten, the hero of the first Mother game for the NES. Ninten also wore a baseball cap, like Ness.

Hmm, interesting stuff indeed. I also noticed that Pokey/Porky has a similar personality to that of the rival in Generation I (albeit significantly more obnoxious), and interestingly enough, they're both the second to last enemy that you can fight in-game (that is, if Mewtwo counts as the last enemy).

Oh, and speaking of Mewtwo, Giegue's original design has "Mewtwo" written all over it.



Well, to an extent anyway.

I remember reading up about the similarity between Mewtwo and Giegue, it could be some sort of throwback.

On an unrelated note, there's a Nintendo Direct tomorrow and it looks like there could be a new Pokémon Rumble game announced! 8)

Really? I would love a new Rumble game! Hopefully we won't be limited to two moves. xD

Not sure, actually. If we do get a new Rumble game, do you think it'll be for the New 3DS? All of the current Nintendo systems have one, so...

EDIT: Oh, ghost'd I think! ...Right? xD

It's a really fun all-out Melee game, kinda like... a top-down version of Smash Bros., but with more exploring involved (and less complex mechanics).

Hmm, right now you have a choice between the 3DS and Wii U versions. I'm assuming you have both of those systems? (I sadly don't own a Wii U, but I'm definitely eager to get the 3DS version!)

No Wii U, just 3DS. But that should be good enough. :D

Well apparently "Pokemon Rumble World" has been registered on a reliable Australian Classification board website. Not sure how legit this actually is, but definitely seems possible!

Oh, goodie! I'm really hoping that it's a New 3DS game. I haven't gotten a New 3DS yet, but it'll be cool to see great games like Rumble on it! =D

It's probably really good haha, at least from what I've seen. The Wii U gives a lot of room for more potential, and I'm pretty sure they had to have used at least some of that potential. =P

Before anything, you should all do yourselves a favor:

With that out of the way, are we still talking about Rumble? I won't trust any news that comes out today, simply because... erm, yeah.
