I haven't heard this

And it also has some healthy self-awareness

pop that battle network in instead

it was protoman

Ahh okay, I'll put it on my backlog

it has protoman

By the way, Earthbound has a sequel set hundreds of years later called Mother 3

One of the best games of all time in my opinion

M O T H E R

If you don't want to play Earthbound I would at least recommend that one

:xionsob:

The series is named mother because mother figures are very important in the series

their memetic legacy

In the first game, Mother, you gather up a team of strong fighters and grind a lot and when you get to the final boss, it is so incredibly strong you have no hope of defeating it

And the only way to actually defeat him is to play a childhood lullaby that reminds him of his adoptive human mother

wait, so you're MEANT to fail?

Nah

ohhh

that's pretty neat

And then in Earthbound your mom is a very supportive force, whenever you feel tired you can return home and she'll cook your favorite meal for you

And then in Mother 3 everything gets firetrucked

psssh your mom in pokemon heals you for free too
