Excited for this Sandy + Melos + Mogumu collab. I think not infrequently of the wonder, surprise, and emotions I experienced when playing Pokemon Blue for the first time without prior knowledge of the mechanics, characters (Pokemon), or Japan (I guess I'd say Kanto Region is modeled after a "Japanese place). The combination of fear and excitement of wandering through Viridian Forest for the first time hoping to encounter a new Pokemon was such a rewarding and memorable experience.

hey Dan! glad you're interested!! The way those older games get you to pay attention and imagine your surroundings is very powerful, almost fostering a parallel interest in the real world itself. It's my hope that Danchi Days will be able to accomplish similar ideas!
