Great video. The fact that the creator of Pokemon reviewed Mother 1 back then is so crazy. Very clear to see the inspiration in the Gen 1 games, and how he incorporated his own design philosophy too

Route 13's theme being Winter is still my favorite thing. Equating volcanic ashes to snow is so clever, honestly!

A collab I would have never expected, competetive pokemon player and earthbound fan

The eight melodies are slightly different than the love theme, being a 1-2-3-5-2 rather than a 1-4-5-6-1

Don't know if it is because of mother influence or if it's just coincidence, but gen 1 and 2 (especially gen 1) to me has really similiar vibes. Not only the urban setting, but also the humor, like having a sea sick captain, mobs running the game corner, d̶r̶u̶n̶k̶ caffenaited and pervert old men (funny to notice how earthbound and Pokemon rby were censored the same way, most probably just a coincidence tho). It feels like Kanto and Johto were meant to be an exaggerated fantastical alternative reality Japan, like America and Eagleland were for USA. Imo I think this aspect is lost in later titles as Pokemon started to expand on the lore of its world and whitewashed a bit the edge

Nice to see someone talking about the connections between these two franchises. I've always been curious about what exactly was going on with Red/Green during it's early development and what kind of changes the developers from Ape brought about when they starting helping. Hopefully someday we'll get some more info about it.

While they can be written of as pure coincidences. I feel like Akira and Mother have a few similarities, Earthbound specifically. 1: Masaru bearing an almost eerie resemblance to Porky. 2: Tetsuo losing control of his power and becoming an almost indescribable being, mirroring Giygas’ story. 3: Tetsuo having an inferiority complex and being envious towards his childhood friend Kaneda mirroring Ness and Porky’s relationship pretty well. Like I said, these are very likely just pure coincidences, I don’t think it’s out of the question that Akira may have influenced Earthbound in some way. The film is referenced almost as much as 2001: A Space Odyssey. I would love to see you make a video on this.
