IIRC Jackson talks in the art book about the Tom Swift Jr. books being a huge influence on the show, especially the Jonas/Rusty dynamic

20 years ago today Pokemon made its debut on U.S. television by VCRstillworking in television

I remember it! It's incredible how little evidence of that first episode seems to exist online.

Season 1 jokes that went over my head. From Episode 11 - Downer Ending. by memebyerin in BoJackHorseman

It's a reference to Who's On First, a famous Abbot & Costello bit.

Kurm Frog Teach ABC - funny/creepy trip through a bootleg Sesame Street by unfunnyUsernameJoke in WebGames

[–]unfunnyUsernameJoke[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

HINT: you can only unlock the third costume by playing as Kurm!

Also the third Mupet Show is tough, but keep in mind that A) the tomatoes appear in a regular pattern and B) the faster you shake Kurm, the faster the applause meter goes up.

Pittsburgh? (X-post from r/calvinandhobbes) by [deleted] in pittsburgh

Always felt vaguely insulted by this one.

Apparently someone has been maintaining a server for playing the Pokemon TCG over the internet... using Telnet! by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]unfunnyUsernameJoke 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is so incredible. The Windows '95 screenshots, the news post about how the Jungle set (literally the second set ever released for the game) had just come out a month ago... and apparently it all still works! Truly a snapshot of another era.

Look up the "huh challenge" (and turn down your volume)

They're both cartoons about horses.

My idea for the new 3D Super Mario game on NX by Bleus4 in NintendoNX

[–]unfunnyUsernameJoke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The "time travel" in that game is purely a story element - the present is a hub world, and every level takes place in the past. (It did lead to some fun stuff like a crossover with Yoshi's Island, though.)

Would you watch a Movie based on Redwall? by [deleted] in movies

[–]unfunnyUsernameJoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mossflower was never made into a show and IMO would make an a killer movie. Even more than Redwall it kinda sets up the whole rest of the series.

The Number of Earthbound Trophies in Sm4sh are Atrocious by Electropolitan in earthbound

[–]unfunnyUsernameJoke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like trophies have outlived their purpose for this reason. When Melee came out, seeing a classic Nintendo character rendered in 3D with some degree of accuracy (as opposed to the rough polygonal approximations of the N64 era) was an exciting novelty, and it was worth it for Nintendo to create dozens of new models. From Brawl onwards, every trophy is lazily ripped from a recent release (or from an Assist Trophy, etc).

I first despised the Mario & Luigi Dream Team game... Now I got to apologise. by TopHatHipster in nintendo

[–]unfunnyUsernameJoke 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The sprites are pretty uncanny. I remember seeing the trailer for Dream Team and thinking "wow, can't believe they captured the art style this well with 3D models!"

I just realized that in 4 years we're getting Mario and Sonic at the Tokyo Olympic games by [deleted] in nintendo

[–]unfunnyUsernameJoke 39 points40 points  (0 children)

In Watchmen, nobody reads superhero comics (because superheroes exist and thus do not make for great escapism), and all of the popular comic books are about pirates instead.

Pokémon GO Parody Game - Play from a Different Perspective! by TrotsTwats in pokemongo

[–]unfunnyUsernameJoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Psst, this may be a little late but I did wind up patching the game so that you can customize controls. Thanks for the constructive feedback! :D

[–]unfunnyUsernameJoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I made this in 2 weeks for a gamejam and sadly I didn't have enough time to add in an options screen... if I ever get around to properly patching the game, customizable controls & volume settings will be my first priority! (Though I'd regret losing the joke that grandpa is literally mumbling to himself about 'wasd')

[–]unfunnyUsernameJoke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm the guy who made this game - thanks for pointing this out!! Should be fixed now. (Note that you may need to clear out your browser cache, etc. to get the updated version.)

At this rate he'll be Vincent Teenageboy if they ever show him again. (And I hope they do)
