    Holy shit this game was magical to me as a kid. I remember grinding out the feather thingies to meet reshiram and trying to meet all the pokemon. Such an amazing game, wish that more people knew about it.

    Snivy mains rise up ‼️😤 gahhhh.... this game holds so many memories for me. I remember crying when all your friends got taken away/hypnotized. I really wish I could play it again but my wii is gone. This all just makes me so happy to see again. The Maractus trio was always my favorite, ever since poke park Maractus had always been my favorite.
    Edit:
    Cheese and rice I don’t remember the story being this dark sheesh!

    Pokepark 2 will always have a special place in my heart. I remember one of my family friends coming over to our apartment once and the first thing he said to us was, “When can we play PokePark?”
    *I’ll never forget lol**

    Darkrai in this game really reminded me of my favorite Pokévillain, Cyrus. It was interesting seeing some very direct parallels between them, including being seemingly ignorant of how much his three commanders care for him.

    The thing I remember enjoying a lot and still do, is how they gave each pokemon character, with its own distinct personnality, with quite a bit of worldbuilding, I just really love how it shows how each pokemon spend their time and how entertaining their different personnalities are

  • @trappyboi464
    @trappyboi464 3 года назад +18

    This game helped foster my love for Unova’s regional Pokémon, I can never understand how they get so much hate from the fandom. The story is really good too, as is the music. Special shout-out to all the Wish Park themes, the songs that play during the main story are some of the most chilling in the entire franchise, especially the Flight Zone. And the song that plays there during the post game is possibly the single most underrated song in the franchise, it’s that good. I will always with that this series was still around today, a 3D sandbox story-driven Pokémon game where you play as Pokémon is truly a great idea and we need more of it!

    Great video. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who made a 20+ minute analysis of this masterpiece. Pokepark 2 was a huge part of my childhood and when I revisited it I found one hell of a hidden gem. I swear I played it 3 times in just 2020 alone, I've never had more fun with a game in my life.

This is certainly a great start for your channel and I look forward to seeing more!

    This was another great video! Ah, I really liked this series when the games came out. Although I don't think I ever befriended every Pokémon in this one. Maybe I should do that soon...ish. If only there weren't so many other games I still want to play...
    That reminds me, for some reason the biggest German Nintendo Let's Player was really obsessed with making this game look bad. Not sure what his problem with this game was, but he really hated it. I used to think I was in the minority liking it back then.
    Oh well. In any case, I will continue to hope for Poképark 3. (And Pokémon Ranger 4. That too, please. Thanks, Pokémon Company.)

    I'm so glad your channel was recommended to me so I could find these PokePark videos! The few, very rare times I've seen people talk about these games, it's been negatively, which always made me really sad.
    As a kid, I always saw the ads for these games, and I would see their boxes in game stores, but I never got the chance to have a copy of either game for myself. But in high school (I think? Either that or late middle school lol I don't remember for sure) my friend told me they had them, and we played through them together. I have much more memories of this one, because I loved the story so much when we were playing. Something about these games like this that are about the power of friendship, and getting to play them with a real life friend who I now have known for years, makes my memories of them even more special.
    I kinda doubt Nintendo/Pokemon Company has any interest in continuing this series, but the thought of having a third one on Switch makes my heart happy...Maybe someday

    This goes up with Super Mario Galaxy and Endless Ocean: Blue World as one of my all-time favourite Wii games. The messages it held were very powerful to me, and even affected me today. I always have fun with it, no matter if I'm following the main plot or making friends just for the heck of it. I don't think we'll get a PokePark 3, but if we did, would it really be able to hold up to a masterpiece like this?

    If they ever make a third game, they should keep the pal thing but have new Pokémon like Rowlet, Piplup, & Scorbunny. The parks could be a lot bigger like for the grass area, a jungle or grassland with a big tree in the middle for Rowlet to fly up to befriend others. And it could bring back using different Pokémon for the mini games
