You mean back when RTX stood for Really Terrible Xperience?

It was crazy how at that time they had to be technically extremely creative in order to render stuff.

I remember seeing that when I was ten years old and thinking, damn, how can it be so realistic?

Pokemon used to do the stuff everyone wishes other games could do
Now other games do the stuff everyone wishes Pokemon could do

The reflections and the footsteps in the sand fucking sent me as a kid. I could spend minutes running in circles to see them disappear behind me. That and the overworld weather was the shit.

*My face is reflected in the water. It’s a shining grin full of hope… Or maybe it’s a look of somber silence struggling with fear… What do you see in your face?*

Reflections have never not been cool in games

Blew my mind as a kid, to have reflections and footsteps left in the sand in a game on a freaking Gameboy of all things.
Most memorable Pokémon game of my childhood. I remember using the manual of the game to decipher the morse codes to get the legendary rock Pokémon.
Good times.

If you’re into pokemon games, do yourself a favor and try the fanmade games.
Chances are, you’ll have a hard time going back to the official ones after that.
