Pokemon Turquoise - A Surprise Proposal
- - - SUMMARY - - -
One day, my boyfriend Jonathan and compadre Hannah came home with an odd GBA (Gameboy Advanced) cartridge that was found at GameStop, they said. It was obviously a hack. Pokemon Turquoise version does not exist, but the care that went into making the cartridge cover look as official as possible, gave the impression that it was at least worth trying out.
We stayed up that night, playing well into Viridian Forest; the storyline was too juicy to stop. The game starts off around ten years since Red and Blue started their own journeys from Pallet Town. In that time, Team Rocket has organized into a very deadly, very intimidating crime syndicate that has virtually all of Kanto trembling under its brutal thumb. The cryptic vibe of the plot-line is complimented well by the black and white graphics, haunting fog, and ominous thunderstorms. The game teaches you early on that no place is safe with surprise encounters of overpowered pokemon, making the player calculate their choices carefully.
GUYS. GUYS. IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU DO TODAY OR READ TODAY, READ THIS. I am the Hannah in this story and I swear to god that this is worth it. It’s good. Really, really good.
OH MY GOD I’M GOING TO PLAY THIS ON THE WEEKEND BECAUSE HOLY SHIIIIT
Downloaded it and playing it, mostly because I haven’t played a pokemon game in a while and this seemed worth it. It’s cool so far.
