Multi question: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX: When this came out I thought with everything I saw/read... why would I buy it. But is it really as bad as people say? and Would you 'trust' Nintendo to actually do a good job if they remade Explorers, let alone do a good job on the new game coming soonish?

So I'm sure we've all heard the rumors that they're actually going to make a new Mystery Dungeon game... and I can honestly say that when I heard about it, it was the first time I thought 'uh oh, maybe I'll need a Switch 2 someday after all'. But I've seen gameplay and basically done everything with DX other than buy it myself... and it just feels like watered down gameplay compared to the OG game. Is that generally how all fans still view DX on Switch??

What are the chances Nintendo actually gets it right and makes a great Mystery Dungeon game again!? They've all felt kind of downhill since the Explorers games. Obviously those games are freaking legendary, and may never be topped. But nothing has come even kind of close... they just do the same 'hey you were once a human, oops now you're a Pokemon' story over and over!

I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the 3DS games but, Mystery Dungeon "1 and 2" were these amazing emotionally charged stories that we cared so much about, with amazing gameplay mechanics. There has to be some way they can get back to the roots of the series in the future. I mean, maybe I'm alone in these sentiments, let me know how you all feel about the future of the series!!

If they did remake Explorers, it would be amazing but, I'd worry they would just kinda make it a cookie cutter remake, and not really put the heart and soul into it that the original game had. I just see Nintendo as a remake hungry game developer nowadays... and a lot of them just make me say "Why don't I just play the real thing, that we already have mods and romhacks and editing tools for" etc.

Hello! So Im curious if something like this exists... Im a big fan of reality dating shows like Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, and always wished there was a simulation rpg type video game that you could do that with... or some other reality type game, or maybe even a mod for a sims game like that!

So Ive looked a few things up relating to this but, right off the bat, it seems like when it comes to searching up anything dating/romace related, you just get a bunch of storybook type games, which totally isn't a genre I am interested in. I'm looking for something more like The Sims but, where characters do challenges and you eliminate them slowly over time etc!

The only thing I found so far is called The Crush House, idk if anyone has played that? But I took 1 look and the design of the visuals is just not for me. Its like something out of Roblox, void of any type of realism, which really sucks. Im still maybe gonna try it out but, idk. I feel that Im searching for Bigfoot and this doesn't exist!

In the 2000s those type of shows were all over the place! Get 1 main character person, get like 25 people, have them all stay in a mansion and try to win the main characters love,,, and have challenges, eliminations, all that! There has to be like a Sims 2 3 or 4 mod out there like this lmao. I know theres a Survivor video game but its not very good.

Anyway sorry Im kinda struggling to put it into words... I just assume Im not gonna find exactly what Im looking for. I do have 1 final question, if maybe there was even if there was like, a way to create a text based RPG myself? Ive never looked into anything like that in my life but, there has to be some kind of tools out there to just make your own RPGs, but it's like all text based, no actual game design, something that anyone could do by simply writing things into whatever tools are used to make them,,, andwrite the script for it and everything.

I imagine someday, ai will be able to literally make games for us just by telling it to... but for now, something text based would be more realistic.

Question about a 2000s reality dating show spinoff that seems to be unfindable, and if anyone even remembers it and could help me find it!

My question is about That's Amore! So this show happens to be one of the few MTV shows that was in the same league as the VH1 51 Minds of love shows, done by the legendary SallyAnn Salsano. A spinoff of A shot at love.... I watched it once back in the day and it was OK, really fast paced only 6 episodes, but I remember it having some funny stuff!

I believe as long as it's not from a streaming service or something 'paid' as the follow IP law rule 3 states, we're allowed to ask if people have access to shows on this subreddit, correct? I mean, I always see people asking about old shows and sharing google drive links on here so, I'm assuming that's allowed! This show isn't buyable anywhere anyways so, if someone did have it, than it wouldn't be paid for, and thus would be allowed to share!

So I challenge anyone out there to find me this show! It's the ONLY show that I don't own myself already, or haven't been been able to find to download :( It would be a great treat during a tough time if anyone is able to help me find it! <3

The 51 Minds shows, Rock of Love, Flavor of Love, I Love Money, I Love New York, Real Chance of Love, etc. and how they stand in TV history today, and re-watching them all in 2026!

What's up all! Never thought I'd be on a subreddit for 1 of these shows but, hey what the heck why not? I've kinda been going through some personal stuff, some health issues got me homebound for the most part and it hit me: It's been 7 years since I watched these shows. I've remembered the winners and runners up for almost all of them but, beyond that, I don't remember more than 50% of who was eliminated where!

Rewatching every season has been like, seeing some stuff for the first time! These shows were just SO GOOD that I still get the same emotions years later from seeing a lot of the legendary moments, even if I've seen them all like 5 times in the past lmao. I was smart n bought em all on Amazon back in the day so I can watch em without ads which is nice.

There's 20 seasons total of the elimination shows that were made... 18 aired on TV fully (Cause of Ryan Jenkins ILM3) 19 you can watch at least some of. I know it's just reality tv but, man, I think we all get caught fantasizing about undoing what Ryan did, having possibly another 20 seasons made, another 3-4 I Love Moneys, having that era continue? I'd give my entire life savings for that to be a reality today lmao.

But regardless of that, we still got a LOT of content from that era! The 1 show that today I can't seem to find is I Love Money 4. In 2019 when I watched them all it was still up. I feel like someone has that shit chillin on their hard drive lmao, hit me up if ya do! 4 wasn't the best but it had its moments, especially Mindy getting her flowers. If anyone else is currently re watching them and wants to BS about the shows, give me a holler!!

Curious who remembers the oldschool Pokemon TCG games for game boy color? Amazing RPG Pokemon games revolving around the cards... I always wished they'd done more. Achieved a goal that was a decade in the making today!

So I've been grinding the The 2nd one GR Edition for about a month now, and finally achieved something I always thought was impossible without savestates. Finally did it after all these years and pumped out 50 wins in a row at the GR challenge machine for the Gengar coin! To me Pokemon TCG 2 is 1 of the best Pokemon games IMO, it's got so much replayability! But I feel like many never got to play it cause it was Japan only.

I actually didn't even know this was a Gengar coin! I've had the english translated romhack for at least a decade and never got past like 20 wins before. Never just googled to see what every unlockable I didn't have was (and if I did it was years ago and long forgot now) Put together a crazy deck based around Pokemon that have colorless energy attacks, and got the RNG run of a lifetime!

If you've never played through these games, even if you don't like the cards, they're amazing RPG games! The first one is short but the 2nd one, took me a month of grinding a few hours a day to basically beat everything I'd wanted to beat and get every gettable card!
