Gameboy Nostalgia - Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire

2020

[quartzcola]

The smartphone-ification of fantastical tech is probably my leased favorite trend in the modern gaming sphere. The most obvious example is in Pokemon. We went from this:

Various little gizmos that served spesific purposes, things that were chunky and tactile and were iconic and timeless. Sure, they’re loosely based on tech that was around at the time, but they’ve clearly got that fantastical, toy like boarder line sci-fi quality to them.

To:

Smart phones. It’s just smart phones. You don’t need a fun little gizmo, there’s an app for that!

Dystopian horror that children are given smart phones at way too young an age aside, these things are fucking boring

That’s the thing about a smart phone, it’s a slab. You can put little frills on it, but it’s a slab at the end of the day

The arcphone is the most egregious imo because they have god itself place a piece of itself into your fucking smart phone. God pulls you into the past and brings your iPhone to be its scrying mirror.

It’s boring, and borderline patronizing.

‘Hello yes child, you know smart phone? Use your smart phone to communicate with god!’

Idk maybe it’s just me but I just hate this trend where these timeless bits of fantastical tech are crammed into the suffering slab.
