Those were the days. There was something magical about not being able to look things up. It was an era of discovery! Your adventures felt all the more magical, because there was no way to know except exploring! You and your friends gathering around to try and figure it out, going off half-remembered rumors of how to unlock Sonic in melee, finding that mew wasn't even released in your country, and your buddy SWEARING this was how you found pikablu (what we thought Marril was named). And occasionally, oh so rarely, it was true. That code you heard about was true. You found something nobody else knew about, trying to convince them there really was a hidden area of Sonic Adventure 1. Everyone shocked about you finding regirock/regice/registeel in gen 3 pokemon. Because you had to go to a hidden cave and do a series of steps written in braille with certain rare pokemon in certain slots, which then secretly unlocked OTHER caves with weird instructions written in Braille. Idk. I'm not saying hate that I can find solutions to my problems now. But kids rarely get that wonder anymore, with info being thrown out constantly, always available and likely shoved into your face. Even then, it takes a large effort to get one of the best parts- gathering with your friends who are just as clueless and desperate for answers.

yeah on one hand it's nice stuff is less frustrating now! but getting frustrated together with friends was fun too. (also wow pikablu 😂 that's another nostalgia blast)

This is pretty much the main reason I enjoy playing new games on release day; getting out before all the guides have been written and feeling like y're actually exploring uncharted territory

same! for games i'm really excited about i try to do an internet lockdown at home until i finish to experience it "fresh" but it can be tough with pre-release reviews and stuff to avoid too.
