Couldn't sleep >_>

I decided no gift pokemon, it feels like it cheapens the challenge. There's actually a small patch of grass in Peter's garden(the repel guy area). It's here that we catch a Slakoth loafing around, Lazy Sunday.

After some training we go to confront Brock and fight for our first badge. The Chronic has yet to learn anything useful but Poison Powder, but we'll keep him in the party as a pivot of necessary. Brock has a full team. Guerilla Radio starts off the battle against Brock's Geodude. Two rounds of Karate Chops takes Geodude down but not before being slowed down by a rock tomb. Next up for Brock is a surprise, the fire type, Vulpix. Can't risk Radio, out comes Bark at The Moon to tank an ember with flash fire. Unfortunately BatM has no moves except ember, Believe I Can Fly tags in. Vulpix throws up a substitute, BICF's gust isn't strong enough to break the substitute. The only safe switch is Radio. He comes in and exchanges low kicks for leers and embers. Vulpix falls and makes way for Kabuto. . The fossil falls to a single low kick. Rhyhorn lands a horn attack but the big guy is brought down by a series of low kicks. Omanyte scares Radio by surviving a low kick but falls to a critical follow up. It's come down to Onix. All we need is one low kick, but Onix out speeds us and goes underground with dig. Out comes Believe with the immunity. We switch into Chronic, a rock tomb misses. We go for poison powder, Onix connects with a rock tomb, Chronic falls to 2 hp and misses. Lazy Sunday comes out with a yawn. Onix goes to sleep and Radio comes out safely for one final low kick. Brock has fallen.

On our way to Mt. Moon we're drawn to the siren song of Jigglypuff, California Dreaming has joined the team. Next up, Mt. Moon.

Current party
Smoochem Post Malone
Houndour Bark at the Moon
Mankey - Guerrilla Radio
Pidgey - I Believe I Can Fly
Hoppip - The Chronic

The Hoenn starters are gift pokemon. Torchic was given to me in the Route 2 rest stop between the Forest and Pewter City but that counts as. Route 2 encounter so he goes in the box. However I was given a Mudkip in the Pewter Pokmon Center. Should I use Mudkip or should I say no to gift pokemon?

I'm guessing Onega Fire Red must be a randomizer, which explains the Ponyta on route 1 (among other things).

Nice nicknames. Are you trying to tell me I need to go on a Rage Against the Machine jam session?

Omega Red is a Dray Hack. Full Gen 3 dex available, movesets changed, levels buffed, trainer teams buffed and changed for difficulty. His hacks are the best difficulty hacks in the series.

Our battle with Rival Melvin starts off with the Rockstar, Post Malone against Zubat. Powder Snow is all it takes to put Zubat away. Melvin's Magby comes out on the KO, Bark at the Moon makes the tag but takes a critical hit on the switch. Guerrilla Radio comes out and takes the win after a series of low kicks. We've successfully defeated Melvin. Now onto Viridian Forest.

The best character of those 3 is Samus as she is an actual character. Mario is basically just a heroic dude and Link is silent protag.

Nothing wrong with that, but they don't have a lot of inherent character to them

Now, this seems to be the hard part for you guys, so pay attention. The TC is talking about how the games, while having good gameplay, lack in other things. Now, if they're a conservative company that doesn't spend what they don't need to, this would explain the lack of these things. They've found a way to do it without the extra stuff. And that's fine. But that means there is room for improvement because gameplay does not have to be sacrificed for that.

TC isn't complaining about any of this though. His argument is that Nintendo isn't a top developer because they don't have giant scripts and paid actors to do voices. You can claim a poor online holds them back, but how does it hold back Botw or Odyssey? The Nintendo games that require online implementat it about as much as they need to.
As for graphics, yeah the game could look "prettier", but that's barely holding a game back. Do you really look at Botw, Odyssey, or Splatoon and think they need to look better?
Nintendo has weaker hardware but it's usually done for a gimmick which Nintendo then pushes to its limit.
What are examples of Nintendo's "cheapness" holding a game back?

Nintendo fans get terrified by the idea of them actually "Taking risks" because it's such unfamiliar territory to them. They compare it to some half ass attempt they did 12 years ago and point to it and say

"See never again. Let's just stay the course, not rock any boats

Define taking risk. Because I could tell you what each Zelda did different or attempted and you would pass it off as nothing

I love the Metal Gear series, but that story would be treated like a joke in any other medium.
It's about a spy who has to fight a bunch of super powered terrorist to fight his clone brother and there's a bunch of dinosaur mechs that shoot nukes. It sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon.
