EarthBound/Mother Discussion!

I need to seriously sit through Earthbound and play it all.

Though, I do plan to LP it blind...

Wait, so have you played/watched it, or not?

Because if you haven't, I would PAY to see you blind LP it.

[Nebbles]

Not at all! I only watched Chugga's and NCS' Mother 3 LPs.

You'd pay, eh? Then that seals the deal!

[blueflower999]

It might benefit you as a Pokemon fan to play them. Some of the origins of certain species can be found in Mother games. Like how Mewtwo and Giegue from Mother 1 are eerily similar. Or how there's an item in Mother 2 called the "Bag of Dragonite".

[Nebbles]

Ooooh that's neat Don't give away much more, though, so I can discover this all for myself.

Blue, can you name all of the Pokemon and Mother simmalarities? It would be really cool to know.

[blueflower999]

None of them are proven; all are just theories! I can't name every single one either. You'll just have to play the games and find them for yourselves!

Spoiler

Giygas in MOTHER looks like Mewtwo, but that doesn't say anything. Giygas is an anthropomorphic pink thing like Mewtwo, just that.
Also, "Run my Dog, Run!" from MOTHER 3 is supposedly similar to "Route 10" from Pokemon Black and White. I think there are more musical similarities, but I think all of them are just mere coincidences.

But I agree with blueflower when he says they're all theories. I really find hardly difficult that those coincidences are not casual.

Thats pretty cool. Blue, today I heard that they may be making Earthbound an E-Shop game on the 3DS for North America. It's only a rumor though, but it would be awesome to see EB in stunning 3-D.

[blueflower999]

Rumor is rumor is rumor. There was rumor that it was going to be on VC too, and it actually got reviewed for it, but that was all an error.

Don't get your hopes up.

PROUD NEW OWNER OF THIS COPY OF MOTHER 3

[blueflower999]

Now make sure you test the game to make sure it works. For it to be a legitimate copy, it must say "Nintendo", "HAL Laboratory", "Shigesato Itoi", and "Brownie Brown" in the intro.

If so, then congrats! Don't start playing until you've finished EarthBound, though!

My Ness cosplay stuff shipped yesterday, hoorah! And I'm gonna start recording the LP soon!
