Have you ever wondered what those little creatures we now refer to as Pokemon did before they became pokemon? Well, I think I can help answer this question for at least one of the pokes.
I don't know if any of you have played the Nintendo classic, Super Mario Bros 2 lately, but last night, out of sheer bordem, I pulled out my Super Mario All-Stars game and slipped it into my SNES.
After a few moments of hard-thought decision making, I decided to play Mario 2, my personal favorite from the NES era. Anyway, I played through the first level and used that 'secret' little warp in 1-3 (the first four levels are boring :-\). I worked through level four and beat up on Fryguy, my personal favorite platform game boss of all time (tied only by Naval Pirana(sp) and Raplh the Raven who were both from Yoshi's Island) and moved on to level 5. A made my way to area 5-2, an annoying little level where there birds fly by dropping bomb-ombs on your head (grrrr) when I suddenly got the urge to...ummm...answer the call of nature. So, anyways, I pause the game and go do my business. When I come back, I notice on of the bomb-omb dropping birds happens to be on the screen. I don't pay it much mind at firat, but then I took a second look and, low and behold, that little bird like exactly like Spearow. Needless to say, I was like 'wow, I never noticed that before...I wonder who the folks at TPM would think about this?' And, thus, Im here posting this.
This is only the beginning. I plan to start the 'Great Pokemon Watch' so we all can post pokemon sightings in non-pokemon related games. This should give us all a dumb reason to go play all of our old games.
