I think back in those days, my first game console was a Famicom. At that time, game cartridges were only a few hundred KB, and I could play Contra with my friends for a whole summer vacation. What now? Mobile games can easily take up several gigabytes. If you open the phone's storage, you will see that the system alone takes up 30 gigabytes, not to mention those mobile games that are constantly being “updated and optimized”. You said that as the game gets bigger and bigger, the fun becomes less and less. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?
But the "Pocket Generation" I'm going to talk about today really brings back the feeling of playing GBA back in the day. Pixel style, brothers! At that time, the GBA screen was just a little bigger and the pixels were grainy, but I could play Pokémon Ruby and Emerald all night long. The new version of this game just came out, adding fairy elves, and exclusive features. It sounds fancy, but in fact the core is still the same - collecting, training, and fighting, simple and crude.
If you want to talk about the graphics, they are definitely not as good as those current mobile games with 3A masterpieces that are full of picture quality, but I think the pixel style is more flavorful. It's like being accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and suddenly having a bowl of Yangchun noodles, it's so relaxing. Moreover, this game is not big, only a few tens of MB. Brothers who miss the GBA era can give it a try. You don't have to clear WeChat chat history before playing the next game.
To be honest, many game manufacturers now pile up capacity like a mountain. What is the result? When you enter, you will see a pop-up window with krypton gold, daily one-stop service, and automatic pathfinding, just like at work. It's not as good as this little pixel game. You can catch a few elves if you want to play, and throw them away if you don't want to play. There's no pressure.
One final word: This game is produced by Shenzhen Saturn Network. It is free to download and there are no messy payment traps (at least I don't feel it until now). It's suitable for old players like me who are old and can't keep up with their hand speed, but still want to relive the feelings of the past. New players don't dislike the picture quality, maybe they can find another kind of fun?
Okay, let's not talk anymore. I went to catch the fairies with my mobile phone. By the way, I missed the days when I used my pocket money to buy game cards🕹️
